Visions - Winter/Spring 2018 - 2

FROM THE EDITORS

Dear Visions Readers:

A

s technology continues to change the world of transportation at breakneck speed, we see
the automotive industry giving rise to something new: mobility as a business. Sumitomo Corporation of
Americas has evolved from a formative player in the automotive industry into a leader in the mobility
industry. In this issue, we will spotlight our growth, featuring past and present automotive business
subsidiaries, as well as recent investments in mobility technology companies.
Additionally, our strategy team spearheading these initiatives talked with us about their perspective
during this exciting time in our company's evolution. Also in this issue, our Washington Office reports
on the current U.S. President's plan for improved infrastructure across the country, and what that will
mean to our company. And we meet a look at an Academy Award-winning actor/producer/director
whose Asian American heritage influences his work and passions.
We certainly hope you will enjoy this issue of Visions.
Sincerely,
Visions Editors
