Nidec's Five Core Businesses Drive Sustainable Economy and Next-Generation Infrastructure

Nidec Corporation, a global motor and comprehensive solutions provider, highlighted its five key business fields that are driving the company’s commitment to achieving a sustainable economy. Starting from small precision motors over five decades ago, Nidec has evolved into a corporate group supplying a wide array of technologies and products that promote the circulation and efficient use of energy.

Our product portfolio facilitates the energy cycle across fields such as “Things that spin and move,” "Thermal management," and “Electricity generation, storage, charge, and conversion.” These technologies support the seamless flow: transforming mechanical power into heat, heat into electric power, and electric power into mechanical power. Every product is designed for high efficiency and minimal electricity consumption, contributing to the smooth supply of clean energy and the realization of a sustainable society.

Nidec’s business is composed of five key divisions, spanning from essential areas like home appliances and mobility that enhance daily life convenience, to cutting-edge AI technologies, and the critical production and logistics infrastructure that works behind the scenes.

■ Building a More Comfortable AI Society
The explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) demands robust infrastructure, requiring servers and data centers to handle immense data loads. Crucially, this generates substantial heat, necessitating highly efficient cooling solutions. Nidec addresses this challenge by delivering comprehensive thermal management solutions, including advanced air and liquid-cooling modules consolidated from across our diverse business group. Furthermore, we ensure the stable progress of the AI world by supplying essential semiconductor inspection and manufacturing equipment.

■ Building More Sustainable Infrastructure and Energy
As technological advancements enrich our lives, rising global electricity demand makes the effective utilization and integration of renewable energy sources a critical challenge. Nidec addresses all aspects of power infrastructure, covering generation, storage, transmission, and utilization. Through highly efficient generators for renewable sources and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) that precisely manage stored power, Nidec is committed to pursuing sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions.

■ Driving More Efficient Production
Global demand for goods is rising, but production and logistics sites face severe labor shortages. The solution is automation, requiring sophisticated machinery to boost labor productivity. Nidec supports the proliferation of automated robots and delicate-control transport drones through key components, including motors, reducers, and sensors. Furthermore, we enhance industrial production efficiency in the machine tool sector by providing advanced equipment, such as multi-tasking machines that consolidate multiple processing steps.

■ Enriching Daily Life
For a richer daily life, essential home appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners require continuous evolution in core components, such as motors and compressors. Nidec supports this demand by providing lighter, smaller, quieter, and more energy-efficient motors and motor-driven modules. This commitment to compact, silent, and highly efficient components enables the development of convenient products like lightweight stick vacuum cleaners and energy-saving refrigerators that operate quietly and continuously.

■ Revolutionizing Mobility
Modern transportation— including cars and motorcycles—demands high safety, convenience, and reduced environmental impact. Achieving this requires improvements in performance, electrification, and the development of next-generation mobility solutions. Nidec supports safe movement, encompassing running, turning, and stopping, by supplying essential components such as motors and camera modules. Additionally, we enhance rider comfort with HVAC fans and are pioneering future mobility by developing drive motors for next-generation aerial vehicles like the eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, enabling truly comfortable and free movement.
