Bridgestone Among Mazda Share Buyers

Bridgestone Corporation is now an owner of Mazda, albeit a small-scale one. The tyre major was one of more than 30 buyers acquiring chunks of the 13 per cent stake in Mazda that was sold by Ford in mid-November. According to a November report in Japan’s Nikkei newspaper, Bridgestone has acquired 0.25 per cent of the outstanding Mazda shares, however the Nikkei did not indicate the source of this information.
