"One reason we decided to open a production capacity here was that we believe that Romania is a good business environment. The second reason was to find the right place for our business to grow", said Valter Taranzano, CEO of Nidec Global Appliance Division, at the inauguration ceremony of the new production capacity.
He added that in the Ştefăneşti factory, an investment of several tens of millions of euros to date, 500 people are already working, and in two years the number of employees is expected to exceed one thousand, even if the staff is more and more difficult to find.
"At the moment we are preoccupied with getting people, and that is why we have tried to automate as far as we could at the beginning. If we found more people, we would not have needed automation. ) Romanians are the most serious and we understand that we can also be supported by authorities. I think Romania is a country that has good opportunities for investment", added Shigenobu Nagamori, founder of Nigen.
Nidec had a global turnover of 14 billion USD last year, and the profit accounted for 13% of this amount.
Nidec Global Appliance Romania was set up in 2016, when the Japanese group acquired from local businessman George Copos the company Ana Imep from Ştefăneşti.
Nidec Corporation was established in Kyoto, Japan in 1973. Currently, it operates in over 40 countries through approximately 300 companies with a total of 110,000 employees.
The Nidec Japanese concern also holds Nidec ASI Ro in Crevedia, Dambovita County, indirectly taken in 2013 by the acquisition of the Italian company Ansaldo. Nidec also bought Emerson's Leroy-Somer and Control Tehniques divisions inaugurated in 2016 in Oradea. (source: agerpres.ro)
