Nidec started without capital. Its only asset is the sheer determination of its founders to become the number one in the world with its original technology. The company’s first major breakthrough came in 1979 when Nidec became the first to mass produce a direct drive spindle motor for commercial purposes.
Today’s computers could not have gotten as small as they are if not for Nidec’s innovation. Not only did Nidec contribute significantly to the industry of computers but the company also produced the first and only series of products that can never be imitated.
In its pursuit to become number one in the world, Nidec presently works small and mid-sized motors and pivot assemblies.
