the questionWhich European companies and managers recur across the records?
1Separate German companies, overlapping mandates
analysisRetained German registry-derived records distinguish Nidec GPM GmbH (Jena HRB 300562), Nidec Motors & Actuators (Germany) GmbH (Stuttgart HRB 302063) and Nidec AMEC Europe GmbH (Stuttgart HRB 764667). AMEC Europe’s stated purpose includes operational leadership, setting targets and monitoring the group’s automotive businesses. The operational headquarters is a separate legal company. It is not interchangeable with every AMEC factory or business-unit label. Registration and formation dates can also differ.
analysisRegistry-derived histories place Guilherme Silva de Almeida and Tuna Sürücü in management roles across the three German companies in late 2025; Tiago Aurelio Figueiredo joined the German Motors & Actuators management. They also preserve earlier mandates held by Kishida, Igarashi, Kawasaka, Schulte and Yokota. Dates below are reported registry-entry intervals, not automatically employment start and end dates. The original registry extracts were not retained for every entry; commercial services reproduce or summarise them. A mandate does not prove involvement in misconduct.
2Igarashi’s timeline must remain qualified
analysisNidec’s own 2022 and 2024 notices identify Kazutsugu Igarashi in senior automotive roles and chairmanships at named Chinese and American subsidiaries. December 2024 reporting says he left Nidec at the end of November and was appointed to a Proterial executive role effective January 2025. Later German register entries still naming him are preserved as registry history. They do not prove he continued working for Nidec after the reported departure; the reason for the difference is not established. 6 7 8
3Poland, Serbia and Spain
analysisRegistry-derived profiles identify the Polish company by KRS 0000262021 and Nidec Electric Motor Serbia by MB 21648850. The Polish profile names Nidec Europe B.V. as sole shareholder and lists Silva de Almeida, Figueiredo, Marko Ivović and Leszek Brzyski on its board; the Serbian profile names the first three as directors. Dorota Dąbkowska is listed as a joint authorised commercial representative, a different capacity from board membership. The commercial profiles’ local financial summaries are not reconciled to the later yen-denominated negative-equity figures in Nidec’s group report. 9 10
analysisSpanish registry-derived notices record Winch David Carter as Arisa chair from 17 March 2026, a January 2024 reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores S.L. as auditor, and Arisa’s absorption of Arisa Servicio Tecnico in January 2022. The preserved name order is “Winch David Carter”; the underlying original BORME notice was not separately retained. These dated governance and merger records do not implicate the named officers or auditor in NDTC’s accounting episode. 11
4Additional German mandates
analysisA retained commercial registry profile lists Tuna Sürücü as managing director of NMA Property Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH and Nidec driveXpert GmbH, alongside the three German operating companies discussed here. The profile is an aggregator’s current-status snapshot, not a dated appointment instrument. It establishes a reported corporate capacity, not responsibility for accounting misconduct or beneficial ownership. 12
