Shindengen Indonesia was established in 2001 amid the growth in the number of motorcycles sold in Southeast Asia in the 2000s.
The country's motorcycle market, which exceeded 3 million units in 2004, reached 8 million units in 2011. In order to meet the growing demand, the company moved to a new factory in 2016.
In 2004, a function for controlling fuel injection to reduce emissions was added to the ACG starter ECU, which controls the system by integrating the starter motor drive circuit and battery charging circuit into one, and has grown to become a mainstay product in the car electronics business. Even today, more than 5 million ECUs are produced each year, mainly in Southeast Asia, and Shindengen Indonesia is one of the important bases that produces 60% of these.
We are expanding our activities that are rooted in the local community, such as by providing an Islamic prayer room in the company.

Shindengen Thailand was the first overseas production base for our group, starting operations in 1987. At first, the company manufactured semiconductors, but in 1988 it began manufacturing car electronics to meet the growing demand for motorcycles in Thailand.
In the wake of the severe flooding that hit Thailand in 2011, Shindengen Thailand was affected by water rising above floor level, and we had to take measures to ensure alternative production both in Japan and overseas. This prompted us to strengthen our BCP measures, including the introduction of a company-wide system that enables us to monitor the production status at each site and build a system that can respond quickly in an emergency.
Today, it manufactures electrical products for motorcycles, automobiles, and generators, and it also has a technical department that has established a development system to meet the needs of motorcycle manufacturers in ASEAN countries, playing a leading role in the group's ASEAN bases.

Shindengen Vietnam was established in 2010 as the fourth overseas production base for car electronics.
In 2011, the year after the company was established, when Thailand was hit by major flooding, the Shindengen Vietnam factory, which had been in operation for less than a year, played an important role as an alternative factory for the Shindengen Thailand factory, which had been flooded.
In 2014, the company also became the first overseas group company to begin manufacturing car electronics for automobiles. A production and quality system different from that for motorcycles was established overseas, and this became the cornerstone for the production of automobiles at other overseas bases.
We received an award in 2021 from the Vietnam Labor Union for being an excellent company that provides a good working environment and welfare benefits for its workers, and we are also working to create a comfortable working environment.

In 1992, China revised its economic policy from a planned economy to a socialist market economy, and as deregulation and regional opening accelerated the attraction of foreign capital, our group established Guangzhou Shindengen Electronic in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, following on from Shanghai Shindengen in 1994. The company was initially established as a joint venture with a local company, but in 2001 it became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
While supplying parts to motorcycle manufacturers throughout China, from the second half of the 2000s, the company added additional processing of its own power semiconductors, which are mounted in car electronics, and has shifted to production that is not limited to the local Chinese market, such as shipping to ASEAN bases.

Manufacturing bases for Electronic device
In the Electronic device business, the front-end processing is mainly performed in Japan, while the back-end processing is handled by domestic and overseas group companies, creating an integrated production system within our own group. We have introduced an IoT-based production management system that collects production data from both domestic and overseas production sites and manages the operating status of equipment, which helps us to prevent equipment breakdowns and efficiently produce a wide variety of products on the same production line.
Since the launch of the Vehicle Quality (VQ) Promotion Project in 2005, we have been working to build manufacturing lines that meet the quality requirements of the automotive market and to improve design and manufacturing quality. The results of this work have been highly evaluated by automotive manufacturers, and have led to strengthening of the relationship of trust with customers, as evidenced by the awards received. This has led to semiconductors for automotive use now accounting for around 40% of the Electronic device business.

Lamphun Shindengen was established in 1991 in the suburbs of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand to take over the semiconductor production of Shindengen Thailand in order to expand overseas semiconductor production.
In the early 1990s, dealing with the strong yen was a challenge, as the yen hit 79.25 yen to the US dollar in April 1995. As the ratio of semiconductor products exported overseas began to exceed 30%, the importance of Lamphun Shindengen increased as the company expanded its overseas production.
Production of power modules began in 2018. As the demand for power modules for automotive and industrial equipment applications increases, this is also contributing to the strengthening of the cost competitiveness of our products.

In the early 1990s, the issue of how to respond to the strong yen, which reached a record high of 79.25 yen to the US dollar in April 1995, was a challenge, and as the ratio of overseas exports of semiconductor products in the group began to exceed 30%, we announced the policy of “Double overseas sales, triple overseas production” to strengthen our overseas expansion. In response to this, Shindengen Philippines was established in 1995 to take over the affiliated company in the Philippines, to which the manufacturing of semiconductors had been outsourced.
It is mainly responsible for the back-end processing of diodes, and plays an important role in our group by achieving both cost competitiveness and high quality.
The company also makes efforts in local community activities, such as sponsoring an annual "Fun Run" and donating money to nearby schools based on the distance run by participants, and participating in tree-planting activities organized by the local Carmelray community.
