Let's create a unique clock that is composed of photos of group employees from all over the world

AISIN GLOBAL CLOCK BY 90,000 EMPLOYEES

We will launch the AISIN GLOBAL CLOCK, one of the winning projects to commemorate the group‘s 50th anniversary, selected from many competing ideas and plans proposed by employees themselves. The concept comes from a desire to create one thing together, including all Aisin employees of 180 group companies in different countries, to commemorate the group’s 50th anniversary. We would like to invite you, as a member of the Aisin group, to contribute your pictures and messages, a simple but effective means of introducing the charms of your country, workplace, and people working together, to your fellow employees all over the world.
