The company was founded in January 1992 as Hainan Mazda Motor, a joint venture between the Hainan provincial government and Mazda to produce Mazda models for sale in China.[5] The joint venture arrangement lasted until 2006, when Mazda's share of Hainan Mazda was acquired by FAW Group,[6][7] and the company became a subsidiary of FAW.[8] While Haima retained the right to make and sell older Mazda models as well as use Mazda technology to underpin self-designed products, it was prohibited from using the Mazda marque.[7]
