Aichi,
March 8, 2000 - Aichi Steel held the "Great Commemorative Ceremony" in
recognition of its 60th anniversary today. The afternoon event followed a religious
ceremony that took place in the morning at the Toyogane shrine here.
At the ceremony, the company presented testimonials to those who contributed to the
company and gave a "special recognition" to five employees who contributed to
the company's business. Aichi Steel's new public relations design (lower left photograph)
