“Our new company direction, strategic investments and long-term vision to push mobility innovations to new heights likely played a role in our new ranking,” said Kenichiro Ito, CEO of DENSO International America, Inc. “Most importantly, we credit this recognition to our talented, dedicated and collaborate associates who consistently demonstrate an unparalleled passion for creating safe and efficient vehicles.”
