MESSAGE

NIDEC COMPONENTS was established in April 1967 in Japan as a specialty manufacturer of electronics components. The company's philosophy remains unchanged - to be a supplier of high quality products while offering competitive prices. NIDEC COMPONENTS began by developing a wirewound trimmer. This product was enthusiastically received by many sectors in the industry. The initial success of the trimmers laid the groundwork for future development of a wide selection of manufactured products that combined electronics at the start of the electronics revolution.

Later, robust sales of cermet trimmers led to the company's remarkable expansion. Further development efforts led to the release of a succession of new product lines. These included a wide range of motors, encoders, switches and pressure sensors.

Product diversification remains an important activity within NIDEC COMPONENTS. In 1983, through the development of the polygon laser scanner, NIDEC COMPONENTS expanded into the field of optomechatronics. The polygon laser scanner is a key component in optical imaging equipment such as laser printers and PPCs.

NIDEC COMPONENTS has also pursued an aggressive course of business globalization. the company established marketing subsidiaries in the Europe (Germany in 1993) and the United States (California in 1995). Later marketing subsidiaries in China, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore was established. Through the company's strategic operating centers in Asia, North America and Europe, NIDEC COMPONENTS intends to further enhance and build its services and products.

TECHNOLOGY

Today's new 'mechatronics' technology lies at the heart of every NIDEC COMPONENTS product. Mechatronics is the union of precision manufacturing and electronics using advanced technologies. Since its establishment, the company has created an extensive product line through the independent development and introduction of new technologies. The company's products offer high performance and quality at very competitive prices.

NIDEC COMPONENTS mass produces trimmer potentiometers, code switches and other electronics circuit components using advanced contact, thick-film printing and automation technologies. Other innovations include Copal's high performance reliable polygon laser scanners and polygon mirrors manufactured using a combination of diamond point cutting, optical thin film deposition and precision instrumentation.

NIDEC COMPONENTS also produces sophisticated pressure sensors by using silicon diaphragm etching and diffusion technologies. Thick-film printing and laser trimming technologies are also used in the production of pressure sensors.

Supported by these technologies, NIDEC COMPONENTS' products have an outstanding reputation for reliability. They are widely used as key elements in machinery for office automation, instrumentation, communications, broadcasting and factory automation.
