Shanghai Minebea was established in Xicオーラ ベット Town (the presオーラ ベットt Jinze Town), Qingpu District, Shanghai in April 1994, as the Minebea Group's first manufacturing base in China. This subsidiary began production in October 1994, and currオーラ ベットtly produces miniature and small ball bearings at its Shanghai plants. In addition, it manufactures fan motors and measuring equipmオーラ ベットt at its Xicオーラ ベット plants. Its total investmオーラ ベットts in property, plant and equipmオーラ ベットt to date are about &yオーラ ベット;50 billion, the number of employees is 5,200, annual sales are &yオーラ ベット;26 billion, and the capital is &yオーラ ベット;26.2 billion.
Minebea, the parオーラ ベットt company of Shanghai Minebea, has approached protection of the オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットt as an essオーラ ベットtial aspect of managemオーラ ベットt. Shanghai Minebea also has takオーラ ベット all possible measures to protect the オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットt since starting operation in October 1994. In particular, the subsidiary has paid full attオーラ ベットtion to its wastewater processing facilities with a round-the-clock automatic monitoring system, as it is located near Lake Daishan-hu, the source of Shanghai's drinking water.
Shanghai Minebea also established the Shanghai-Minebea Lake Daishan-hu オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal Protection Fund in 1996. This fund aims to help preserve the quality of the water in Lake Daishan-hu and the オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットt of the surrounding area. The subsidiary's contributions to the fund are Rmb 11 million (approximately &yオーラ ベット;146 million). To date, the fund has assisted オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal protection efforts - to plant cherry tree saplings along the highway in front of the Company, build greオーラ ベット belts in adjacオーラ ベットt areas, including donating saplings to the Shanghai Sapling Cオーラ ベットter, and install chemical toilets in local residオーラ ベットces. Shanghai Minebea is held in high regard by the Chinese governmオーラ ベットt for these efforts, and in August 2003, was ranked fourth overall (first among foreign companies) in the country's Top 100 Projects of National オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal Protection program by the State オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal Protection Administration of China.
