About
We are a technology-driven organization advancing the Nidec brand through motion, energy and thermal management. By building on our three technology axes and serving five business domains, we create products and systems that support infrastructure, industry, mobility, digital society and everyday life.

Under the corporate slogan “All for dreams,” we continue to expand our capabilities through business development, acquisitions and ongoing innovation.
