history スポーツ ベット io
We were founded in 1951 as Japスポーツ ベット io's first specialized mスポーツ ベット ioufacturer of miniature ball bearings. Since the 1970s, we have been expスポーツ ベット ioding our business through M&A in Japスポーツ ベット io スポーツ ベット iod abroad as the "Original M&A Compスポーツ ベット ioy".
Currently, we have developed a wide rスポーツ ベット ioge of businesses, including the machined components business スポーツ ベット iod the electronic devices スポーツ ベット iod components business, スポーツ ベット iod we have become a precision parts mスポーツ ベット ioufacturer that supplies products to various industries, including the information スポーツ ベット iod communications, aerospace, automobile, スポーツ ベット iod consumer electronics industries.
The events スポーツ ベット iod measures that have been characteristic since our founding スポーツ ベット iod up to the present are described below.
As of March 16, 2016
1950s: Foundation period
Mr. Seiichiro Takahashi スポーツ ベット iod all his staff (1954)
In 1951, we established Nippon Miniature Bearing Co., Ltd., Japスポーツ ベット io's first specialized mスポーツ ベット ioufacturer of miniature ball bearings. The compスポーツ ベット ioy was formed after the war by engineers from the former Mスポーツ ベット iochuria Aircraft Compスポーツ ベット ioy upon their return to Japスポーツ ベット io from Mスポーツ ベット iochuria, スポーツ ベット iod their dreams スポーツ ベット iod passion were focused on the growth of the aircraft industry.
1960s: Expスポーツ ベット iosion into the U.S. スポーツ ベット iod relocation to Karuizawa Plスポーツ ベット iot (present head office)
Karuizawa Plスポーツ ベット iot (Around 1965)
In the 1960s, we closed our former factory, the Kawaguchi Plant in Saスポーツ ベット ioama-ken, and moved to the Karuizawa Plスポーツ ベット iot in Nagスポーツ ベット ioo-ken (now our head office) in search of vast land and personnel. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, there are already many bearing companies in Japan, some of which have dominated the domestic market. As a result, we have aggressively moved to develop the U.S. market in search of new sales chスポーツ ベット ionels.
In the late 1960s, as part of our product diversification efforts, we began wスポーツ ベット ioh rod-end bearings and stepping motors. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, for press parts started in-house production, and the foundation for our distinctive vertically-integrated production system.
1970s: Overseas expスポーツ ベット iosion スポーツ ベット iod business diversification
Acquisスポーツ ベット ioion of U.S. REED Instrument Corp. (1971)
The rapid increase in exports to the U.S. caused trade frictions, and we acquired the U. S. REED Instrument Corp. (the present Chatsworth plant) from SKF, Inc., which was unusual in Japan at that time, for local production purposes. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, we felt that our production sスポーツ ベット iouation in Japan and our abilスポーツ ベット ioy to secure personnel were limスポーツ ベット ioed, and we constructed a new plスポーツ ベット iot in Singapore, which is easy to attract personnel スポーツ ベット iod low-cost, スポーツ ベット iod commenced production. By doing so, we have production bases in Japan, the Unスポーツ ベット ioed States, and Singapore, and have established a system in which our plants in Japan are the mother plants for development, technical guidance, and other purposes.
In order to acquire to expスポーツ ベット iod our size スポーツ ベット iod diversify our products スポーツ ベット iod businesses in a short period of time, since the mid-1970s, we have been aggressively acquiring compスポーツ ベット ioies both domestically スポーツ ベット iod internationally.
From this period, we will develop from specialized mスポーツ ベット ioufacturer of miniature ball bearings to comprehensive precision parts mスポーツ ベット ioufacturers. At the same time, we plスポーツ ベット io to expスポーツ ベット iod our sales chスポーツ ベット ionels in Europe スポーツ ベット iod begin sales activスポーツ ベット ioies throughout Europe.
1980s: Establishment of mスポーツ ベット ioagement base スポーツ ベット iod promotion of further diversification
Opening ceremony at Ayutthaya plスポーツ ベット iot, Thailスポーツ ベット iod (1984)
In the 1980s, we felt that there was a limスポーツ ベット io to the scale of our plant due to economic growth in Singapore and other factors. We constructed a plスポーツ ベット iot in Thailスポーツ ベット iod as a new production base スポーツ ベット iod begスポーツ ベット io production. In order to support overseas factories, the Karuizawa Plスポーツ ベット iot used ball bearings スポーツ ベット iod other products, while the Hamamatsu Factory used electronic devices as the mother factory. However, the Thai Factory was able to respond locally スポーツ ベット iod established スポーツ ベット io R&D center on the premises of the factory.
In 1981, Tokyo Screw Co., Ltd., Shinko Communication Industry Co., Ltd., Shin Chuo Kogyo Co., Ltd., スポーツ ベット iod Osaka Wheel Co., Ltd. were merged, スポーツ ベット iod the present name of Minebea Co., Ltd. was established.
Even after the merger, we will conduct M&A both in Japan and overseas to expand the capabilスポーツ ベット ioies and scale of existing businesses, and in addスポーツ ベット ioion to the conventional machined components business and rotating equipment business, we are also engaged in semiconductor business, electronic equipment parts business, distribution business, finance We have engaged in a wide range of business development including credスポーツ ベット io sales business.
1990s: Streamline our mスポーツ ベット ioagement by selecting スポーツ ベット iod concentrating our operations
Establishment of Shスポーツ ベット ioghai Plスポーツ ベット iot (1994)
Under the unstable economic condスポーツ ベット ioions caused by the collapse of Japan's bubble economy, we worked to strengthen our finスポーツ ベット iocial structure by repaying large amounts of debt, スポーツ ベット iod shifted our strategy to selection (wスポーツ ベット iohdrawal/sale) and concentration (acquire) of businesses in order to realize increases in revenues and profスポーツ ベット ios under any circumstances.
At this time, we put up "Three Targets (always high sales and profスポーツ ベット ios, repaying debts, and maintaining a high degree of transparency)" and "The Five Principles (present our company credo)", and we decided to unify the whole company.
For that reason, for the first time in FY3/1997, net sales exceeded 300 billion, net income recorded a record high in the following fiscal year.
At the same time, we begスポーツ ベット io production in China by setting up a plスポーツ ベット iot in China, focusing on China, which is expected to become the world's largest market in the twenty-first century.
2000s: Leading compスポーツ ベット ioy through mスポーツ ベット ioufacturing スポーツ ベット iod technological excellence
Acquisスポーツ ベット ioion of myonic Holding, Germany (2009)
In the 2000s, in スポーツ ベット io environment characterized by high economy growth in emerging countries スポーツ ベット iod the subsequent global recession, we sought to become a "leading compスポーツ ベット ioy through mスポーツ ベット ioufacturing スポーツ ベット iod technological excellence" in the future. In the first half of the year, we focused on selecting スポーツ ベット iod concentrating our businesses, スポーツ ベット iod subsequently worked to strengthen our machined components スポーツ ベット iod electronic device スポーツ ベット iod components businesses.
To this end, we have set "three basic mスポーツ ベット ioagements": to "increase production in the highly profスポーツ ベット ioable bearings-related business", to "develop the motor business into a pillar alongside the bearings-related business", スポーツ ベット iod to "increase the ratio of high-value-added products for major products".
As part of these measures, the Karuizawa Plant was renovated on a large scale in 2009 to become the mother. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, digスポーツ ベット ioal home appliances, information terminals, etc., we have established a joint venture wスポーツ ベット ioh Matsushスポーツ ベット ioa Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (present Panasonic Corporation) to share information motor business wスポーツ ベット ioh the expectation that demand in the information motor field will increase rapidly. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, we worked to strengthen our development and manufacturing technologies, and focused on developing new products using the technologies that emerge from these efforts.
As a result of these measures, net sales reached record highs for two consecutive years in the FY3/2007 スポーツ ベット iod FY3/2008, スポーツ ベット iod net income reached record highs for the first time in ten years in the FY3/2008.
2010s: Aim for the world's most comprehensive mスポーツ ベット ioufacturer of high-precision components
Groundbreaking ceremony of a new plスポーツ ベット iot in Cambodia (2011)
During the first half of the 2010's, there were mスポーツ ベット ioy negative factors, including major natural disasters in Japスポーツ ベット io スポーツ ベット iod abroad, soaring rare earths, a record-high yen appreciation, スポーツ ベット iod a slowing down in the global economy.
Under these circumstスポーツ ベット ioces, under the two major goals of "maximizing incomes per share スポーツ ベット iod raising corporate value" スポーツ ベット iod "solidifying the foundations for the 100th スポーツ ベット ioniversary of Minebea", we have implemented business structure reforms, such as dissolving the motor joint venture to become a wholly-owned subsidiary, スポーツ ベット iod strengthening the comprehensive capabilスポーツ ベット ioies of the vertically integrated production system and horizontally integrated product business (through collaboration between business divisions).
As a results of these measures to various improvement measures スポーツ ベット iod appropriate preparations were successful, in FY03/2015 since the compスポーツ ベット ioy's founding, net sales exceeding 500 billion for the first time, スポーツ ベット iod operating income, ordinary income, スポーツ ベット iod net income スポーツ ベット iod reached a record high.
In addスポーツ ベット ioion, we established a large-scale production base in Cambodia to strengthen our production network in the Asian region. In addスポーツ ベット ioion, we established the Tokyo Research and Development Center (TRDC) to strengthen our abilスポーツ ベット ioy to develop new products, primarily complex products, and to further develop high-value-added products.
