Nidec’s growth and M&A strategy
Balancing organic growth and M&As

With 337 group companies^* around the world, Nidec has grown into a global company.
M&As are one of the strategies that have supported this growth.

We focus our M&As on all that spins and moves, based on the concept of buying time, then use them to foster our technology and sales channels.
*As of March 31, 2020

Nidec has executed M&As on both a local and international scale
Here are the specific benefits of Nidec's M&As

Nidec is invested in improving the good management and growth of the companies acquired, and also in creating synergies* with existing businesses so as to encourage mutual development.
These synergies can include reducing costs by centralizing parts procurement, developing technologies and expanding sales channels in new fields.
This M&A strategy has led to dramatic growth, going beyond the mere sum of its parts.

*Synergies: Effect whereby companies cooperate to effectively use management resources, through combination and integration in order to generate added value that goes beyond the mere total of sales and profits.

However, Nidec’s growth hasn’t been solely due to the success of M&As

M&As may be a key strategy, but that does not mean that Nidec has grown through them alone.
We could build up the strong foundations we now have by pursuing growth and expansion in our existing businesses as well.
The M&As and organic growth of existing businesses have supported the expansion of Nidec.
