“On this day 70 years back, i.e., on 18th August 1937 : Following on from the success of Toyota Industries the son of the original founder Sakichi Toyoda of Toyota Industries Kiichiro Toyoda founds the Toyota Motor Company in Japan. In less than 70 years, Toyota Motor went from being a tiny spin-off of a textile loom maker to the world's biggest automaker, guided by a culture of "kaizen", or continuous improvement and a tireless effort to eliminate waste.”

KIICHIRO TOYODA, son of Sakichi and second president of Toyota Motor, after design plans for a loom were stolen from his father's firm:"The thieves may be able to follow the design plans and produce a loom. But we are modifying and improving our looms every day ... They do not have the expertise gained from the failures it took to produce the original... We need not be concerned. We need only continue as always, making our improvements."
