Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2025 8:08 am
Nidec, a global leader in precision motors, is rapidly evolving to become a manufacturer like Bosch by expanding its capabilities from component production to comprehensive system manufacturing. Bosch’s success as a full-system manufacturer—offering integrated solutions in automotive, industrial, and consumer products—inspires Nidec’s strategic shift towards overall optimization rather than individual part improvements.
To achieve this, Nidec is investing heavily in smart manufacturing technologies, including AI, IoT, and automation, to create highly efficient, flexible, and quality-driven production processes. These initiatives reflect Bosch’s Industry 4.0 model, which emphasizes digital transformation and connected factories.
Nidec is also broadening its product portfolio to include complete telegram data drive systems, e-axles, and robotics solutions, positioning itself as a full solution provider rather than just a motor supplier. This expansion aligns closely with Bosch’s diversified offerings, enabling Nidec to enter new markets and meet complex customer demands.
Global expansion forms a critical part of Nidec’s strategy. The company is establishing advanced manufacturing facilities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas to localize production and reduce supply chain risks, mirroring Bosch’s extensive global footprint.
