In the 1880s, he started to manually produce and sell violins.

He founded the Suzuki Violin Factory in 1900. By 1910, his factory was producing 65,800 violins per year. Nagoya became the manufacturing center of string musical instruments. Masakichi's original company was eventually split into two: Kiso Suzuki and Nagoya Suzuki. They were one company before the 2nd World War. But after the war they were split up into the Suzuki Violin Company (now Kiso Suzuki Violin Company) and Suzuki Violin Manufacturing Company (now Nagoya Suzuki Violin Company). And there the relationship ended.

The two companies were headed by sons of Masakichi Suzuki.
