Our Company

The NIDEC-SHIMPO CORPORATION was originally founded in Kyoto Japan in 1952. Since our inception, we have made every possible effort to improve our manufacturing skill and capabilities, including the advancement of power transmission products to support new technologies and markets. NIDEC-SHIMPO initially established an industry-wide leadership position in the area of mechanical variable speed drives. We are very proud of our storied past with mechanical drive technology, through which NIDEC-SHIMPO helped contribute to the growth of the emerging industries that are now the cornerstone of our world economy today.

Over time, within the field of power transmission engineering, NIDEC-SHIMPO has maintained the highest level of skill and production quality throughout the industry. We have earned a reputation as a long-term dependable partner to our customers, and this solid reputation is firmly supported by the many industrial awards we hold, such as the Japanese Machinery Society Award, and Deming Award, among others.

Today, the growing global market for motion control has driven us to continuously develop products that provide the highest level of accuracy, reliability and value for our customers. We are technical experts across all of the various gear technologies and precision instrumentation we offer, and are the only company in the world producing such a wide range of product.

NIDEC-SHIMPO promises to continue to provide high precision power transmission products at unmatched value, which solve the new requirements of our customer base and allow them to be competitive in an increasingly tough global market.
