President’s Message

The Vision We Aim for

Since taking office as a president on April 1, 2024, I have been working hard to achieve a collective management structure that brings the 100,000 employees of the NIDEC Group together. In order to become a global top-notch company that continues to grow beyond 100 years, each and every employee of the NIDEC Group must achieve growth with quality, viewing this as our second foundation period, without relying on the charisma of the founder, while inheriting the strengths of the past. I believe that the future of achieving a market capitalization of 10 trillion yen will not come until we realize the ideal we should aspire to, i.e. catering to our customers’ needs with high technology, maintaining a high stock price through high growth and high profitability, and forming a strong organization where a diverse workforce work hard toward the same goal.
Key word in creating the future is Circular Society. Our philosophy has always been to “contribute to the global environment with things that turn and move,” in other words, to solve social issues and contribute to the preservation of the global environment by supplying high-performance motors. I believe that we can develop innovative businesses by viewing society as a whole as one big cycle and focusing on energy conversion.

Toward the Realization of Circular Society

The NIDEC Group has produced a wide variety of motors as the world’s No. 1 comprehensive motor manufacturer. By supplying a diverse range of products that accommodate from the very small world including inside of PCs, smartphones to the extremely large world such as huge vessels, industrial pumps, we have created motive power around the world to turn and move things. We have, so to speak, provided the energy itself to drive objects.
In addition to energy to drive objects, motors generate heat at the same time. It is inevitable that heat will be generated from electric power and motive power, and the Nidec Group has tackled the challenge of how to control heat for 50 years as a motor specialist. Examples include product lines and technologies related to heat management, such as cooling systems and fan motors. In particular, the demand for water-cooling modules has been growing rapidly in recent years due to the enormous amount of heat generated by servers used in AI data centers, and heat management technology has begun to develop from air-cooling to water-cooling.
Another important factor related to motors is electric power. Electricity is the most important energy source for the world in the future, as it is used to generate motive power through motors as well as heat. I believe that a future will come in which controlling electricity can be synonymous with controlling the social infrastructure itself.
For example, if heat generated as a by-product of motive power is controlled and used for electricity generation, and the generated electricity is stored in a battery system, a stable supply of clean electricity can be achieved. Needless to say, the electricity thus supplied will become a source from which our products will generate additional motive power. In this way, in our society, energy is being converted from one form to another, i.e. from motive power to heat, from heat to electricity, and from electricity to motive power. Through our products and technologies, the Nidec Group will contribute to the realization of a sustainable, Circular Society in which energy is converted with high efficiency.
There are five business areas of the NIDEC Group that are particularly important for a sustainable, Circular Society in which clean energy is circulated smoothly. We intend to expand our business, setting our eyes on these five business areas as focused business areas, from the AI-related area where cutting-edge technologies are concentrated and the home appliances area rooted in our daily lives to the large-scale social infrastructure and mobility areas.
