Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd.

Yanmar Co., Ltd. has acquired a majority stake in Spain-based HIMOINSA®.

Objectives:

Active in over 100 countries, HIMOINSA is a multi-national company specializing in the manufacture of energy systems. Yanmar’s relationship with HIMOINSA dates back to 2006, when it began supplying its diesel engines to be used in HIMOINSA generators.

This alliance aims to enhance the partnership the two companies have enjoyed through the years, and to improve Yanmar’s presence in the rapidly-growing global energy system market. Building on a broad base of operations in diesel engines and industrial machinery, Yanmar now seeks to strengthen its position and increase its overseas sales ratio to over 60%.

An increase in demand for on-site power generators and co-generation systems is expected in both commercial and private sectors. With the wealth of expertise in product development and business operations that the two companies will bring, this alliance will focus on strengthening distribution channels and on delivering innovative solutions to our worldwide customers.

With “harnessing power” as one of the core pillars stated in our Mission Statement and with cutting-edge technologies and services, Yanmar is actively expanding its operations outside of Japan by delivering unrivaled solutions that meet customers’ diverse needs. We are forming a mutually beneficial relationship that will facilitate increased success for years to come.
