01
Flexible Production to Meet Customer Needs
and Achieve “Zero Defects”
-
Manufacturing Excellence 01
Company-wide zero-defect initiative
Because automobile accidents can directly put human lives at risk, defects in automotive components cannot be tolerated. Across our group, we continuously enhance quality throughout the entire process from development to mass production. At each key development milestone, we apply stage-gate management to ensure quality before advancing to the next stage. Even after mass production begins, we promote our ASA ZERO activities, which address defects occurring within production processes through a multifaceted approach.
In addition, our proprietary IoT system, EXPRESS, enables us to collect quality records and manufacturing conditions from our operations worldwide. By sharing and utilizing this data across the Group, we continuously work to further improve quality on a global scale. -
Manufacturing Excellence 02
Production technology capabilities to meet customer needs
Our group not only assembles products but also processes component parts and manufactures friction materials, which are the core components for power transmission and interruption, all in-house. Furthermore, by designing and manufacturing the molds, jigs, and equipment necessary to realize these processes in-house, we can achieve a wide variety of product specifications related to design and function. In addition, the technologies we have cultivated over many years are organized into "EXEDY Technical Standards" in the fields of design, production technology, and quality control, and we are able to achieve rapid process design by receiving the latest performance feedback through IoT systems.

Manufacturing Excellence 03
A global production system that enables stable supply
Our group has production bases in 11 countries worldwide, and we have established a global supply system with process settings at all locations at the same level as in Japan. This enables backup production and mutual support between locations, establishing an internal business continuity (BCP) framework.

Proven R&D Capabilities to Meet
Customer Needs Worldwide

Engineering Excellence 01
Core Technologies (Friction, Vibration, Fluid)
Our group has developed products such as clutches and torque converters that meet customer needs by applying and utilizing our proprietary friction, vibration, and fluid technologies. These core technologies are supported by foundational technologies cultivated through years of accumulated know-how.

Engineering Excellence 02
Basic Technologies (Materials Technology, Analysis Technology, and Reliability Evaluation Technology)
The core technologies described above are supported by foundational technologies comprising materials technology, analysis technology, and reliability evaluation technology. Materials technology enables us to accurately understand material properties and utilize them appropriately, while analysis technology enables us to elucidate the mechanisms of fluid flow, vibration, structures, and mechanical systems. In our drone business, which we are currently developing as a new business, we are leveraging the fluid technology cultivated through torque converter development to further advance our analytical capabilities in aerodynamics, including the analysis of airflow around drone propellers. Reliability evaluation technology enables us to reproduce various phenomena under different operating conditions. Leveraging our strength as a specialist manufacturer of drivetrain components with a wide range of testing equipment, we are working to enhance the reliability of our simulation technologies and apply them to customer product proposals and model-based development using simulation models.

Engineering Excellence 03
A global development system that provides seamless support from planning to mass production.
To address the diverse needs of customers in different regions, we have established development bases not only in Japan (2 locations), but also in North America (1 location in the U.S.), Europe (2 locations in the U.K.), China (2 locations), ASEAN (2 locations in Thailand), and India (1 location), for a total of 10 locations. Each location is equipped with the resources needed to conduct development and evaluation at the same level as our headquarters. This enables us to provide customers worldwide with consistent quality and meticulous technical services. Furthermore, our end-to-end approach, from planning to development, prototyping, and mass production, allows us to deliver high-quality products in mass production while also shortening delivery times. By accumulating development know-how within the group, we are able to develop even better product proposals.

Customer Network 01
We do business with global automobile, motorcycle, and construction/agricultural machinery manufacturers (OEM products).
Without being tied to any particular group, we supply products such as clutches and torque converters to automotive, motorcycle, construction, industrial, and agricultural machinery manufacturers worldwide. In Japan, we have OEM relationships with almost all automotive and motorcycle manufacturers, and we are equipped to meet our customers' needs. We also supply OEM products to major manufacturers (over 50 companies) in North America, Europe, China, India, and Southeast Asia. Furthermore, we hold a world-leading market share for both clutches and torque converters.

Customer Network 02
Global sales network <Aftermarket business>
Since the establishment of Daikin Clutch USA in 1977, we have expanded our aftermarket business. As of the end of March 2026, our customer base has grown to approximately 6,700 companies, of which more than 5,500 are customers in our aftermarket business.
Expansion of the network of bases
We have 23 companies (sales companies and manufacturing and sales bases) in 12 countries worldwide and have worked to increase awareness and strengthen the presence of our brand through participation in trade shows around the world. In January 2023, we acquired a leading company in repair parts for automatic transmission vehicles, and will expand our supply to Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, and other regions where market growth is expected.
Utilization of digital tools
In our aftermarket business, we focus on web and cloud management and app development to improve marketing and customer satisfaction. We also utilize information sharing tools to expand our important catalogs and product lineup. Furthermore, we have established a rapid supply system called EXEDY Express Delivery (EED) for supplying products to domestic and international markets. This system allows customers to check various shipping information on their computer screens.
