Providing Safety and Comfort

The IMASEN Group was established in 1939 by its founder, Senzaburo Imai, after the opening of the predecessor “Imai Bicycle Shop” in 1921 and the commercialization of the first automobile horn in Japan in 1932. Since then, in response to the development of motorization in Japan and abroad, we have responded quickly to the needs of the times and have consistently taken on the challenge of “improving automobile safety and comfort” by providing a wide variety of products such as automobile lamps, relays, window regulators, and seat adjusters.
This challenge has expanded beyond automobiles, providing “safety and comfort” to many customers in various fields such as aircraft, machine tools, welfare equipment, and industrial cameras.

Emphasis on Offensive and Defense, and Speed

The automotive industry is currently undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation, as exemplified by the shift to electrification. In addition, the business environment is changing dramatically due to natural disasters, the Corona disaster, and other factors, and we find ourselves in an unpredictable and uncertain era. In this difficult environment, IMASEN Group will continue to focus on both “offense (business growth)” and “defense (strengthening of business structure)” with an emphasis on speed in order to transform our business for sustainable growth.
For future business growth, IMASEN Group will take an “offensive” approach to expand into new customers and new product areas by taking an unprecedented approach, while building on the collective strengths of IMASEN Group cultivated to date, and aim to establish three stable business portfolios, including the mainstay seat and electrical equipments business, electronics business, and new businesses.
At the same time, the Company will promote the construction of a production system that can flexibly respond to changes at each of its global bases, and strengthen its business structure, which is the source of its competitiveness, through “defensive” efforts, such as by strengthening its development and quality control systems on a company-wide basis. Furthermore, we will ensure the execution of these initiatives by reforming our business management system.

Aiming to be a 100-year company and beyond

IMASEN Group will aim to evolve its corporate culture without fear of change, while cherishing its corporate history to date. To fulfill our corporate social responsibility and meet the expectations of our stakeholders, all employees will work together to realize our goals, valuing mutual trust and working as one to meet the challenge of becoming a company that lasts 100 years and beyond.
