History
With Gratitude, Our 70th Anniversary of Incorporation
It is with gratitude that today on 16th of July, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of MinebeaMitsumi Inc. incorporation. I thank everyone for the great blessing of support which has made this achievement possible.
In July 1951, our company was founded in Tokyo's Itabashi Ward as Japan's first manufacturer specializing in miniature ball bearings. The company was formed after the war by engineers from the former Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company upon their return to Japan from Manchuria, and their dreams and passion were focused on the growth of the aircraft industry.
Today, 70 years have passed since its foundation, the company has grown along with its entrance into an electronic devices and components business field and also had a business integration with MITSUMI ELECTRIC, U-Shin, and ABLIC. Now we have a unique product portfolio, like no other in the world, from ball bearings to motors, sensors, access products, and semiconductors. The company has grown into an “INTEGRATED” precision components manufacturer and we plan to achieve sales of over 1 trillion yen this fiscal year. Having about 100,000 employees in 27 countries around the world with various backgrounds, we work together as one to create new values through the integration of cutting-edge technology with our core ultra-precision machining and mass production technology and continue to support manufacturing industries worldwide and people's daily lives.
Without waiting for the 80th anniversary, we will aim for a high target of sales of 2.5 trillion yen and operating income of 250 billion yen. We will continue to create products with the same passion as when we were founded, and strive to become an "indispensable company" for society in the future even after the 100th anniversary and beyond.
We thank you for your continued support.
