Nidec: Asian subsidiaries, changing managers and separate incidents

analysisNidec’s October leadership page lists Feng Jing as chair and general manager of Automotive Motor Zhejiang, with directorships at Guangzhou and Jiangsu automotive companies. Older records placing Igarashi in those Chinese chairmanships are historical, not a substitute for the later company disclosure. The Zhejiang automotive company is separate from Techno Motor Zhejiang. The named capacity is not proof that Feng or another director authorised an anonymous operational decision in the investigation reports. ^{1 2 3}

analysisThailand’s DBD profile identifies Nidec Electronics (Thailand), registration 0105533101569, as an active spindle-motor company established on 24 August 1990. The snapshot is dated 5 October 2026 and lists five directors. Thai Buddhist-calendar years 2533 and 2569 correspond to 1990 and 2026. The directors’ Thai spellings are preserved where an independent Latin spelling was not established; similarity to a person at another subsidiary does not prove identity. ⁴

analysisTaiwan’s company-register page identifies Yohei Sumikawa as chair of Nidec Chaun-Choung and lists Yuji Tanaka among the directors representing Nidec. Its displayed board term is June 2025–June 2028, subject to the registry’s warning that terms can change. The 74,514,982-share balance repeated beside several representatives is the represented corporate shareholder’s position, not a separate personal holding for each director. Nidec’s notice dates Tanaka’s directorship there from October 2025. ^{5 6}

analysisOctober 2023 reporting says prosecutors and investigators searched Nidec Chaun-Choung on 5 October; the company said it would cooperate and saw no material financial or business impact. The retained report does not identify the subject of the search or a later case outcome. It does not establish a connection to the Nidec accounting inquiry. ⁷

analysisIn an August 2026 account of Chaun-Choung’s response to a June ransomware incident, the company said external digital forensics found no clear technical evidence of data exfiltration, despite attackers’ publication of folder and file-name screenshots. The company explicitly did not rule out a leak and said it would continue monitoring. This is not a finding that no data were exposed, nor proof that the incident is identical to an unnamed event in another group document. ⁸

analysisTwo retained commercial services identify Nidec India under CIN U29100HR2010FTC041709, incorporated on 16 December 2010. The page updated on 5 October 2026 lists Keiji Oshima, Hiroyuki Temba, Masahiro Miura and Shigehiro Tsujimura; an older-data page still lists Kitao and Hatanaka. The later profile is used as a dated reported roster, not a direct original MCA extract. Absence from it does not establish an exact resignation date. The older page’s displayed accounts end in March 2023, so its “current” label is not adopted without qualification. ^{9 10}

analysisThe older Indian profile records former Nidec India directorships ending for Yoshimoto in April 2020, Seki in September 2022, Katayama in September 2021 and Kishida in March 2024. It also lists Oshima at Mobility India and historically at Sanyo businesses. The later service marks Sanyo BPL dissolved, so an older “ongoing” label is not treated as a current operating mandate. Common directors do not establish ownership between companies. ^{9 10}

analysisNidec announced subsidiary president changes effective 1 October 2026: Takeshi Nishiyama at Techno Motor, Yuji Tanaka at Drive Technology, Katsuhiro Wada at Powertrain Systems and Kenji Hamanaka at Machine Tool. The notices describe a new growth phase and preserve predecessors’ advisory or other roles. A personnel change is not itself a finding against the predecessor. Nishiyama’s notice places his CFO appointment in June 2026, and Hamanaka’s biography separately records an OKK CTO role from June 2026; those dates are not backdated. ^{5 11 3}

analysisThe corporate-number history for 9100001006440 identifies former Copal Yamada, renamed Nidec Precision Yamada in April 2023 and Apic Yamada Precision on 31 March 2025. The change to a name without “Nidec” does not by itself establish a sale or departure from the group. ¹²
