Our Heritage

A Century of Innovation in Bearing Technology

Koyo Seiko was founded in 1921 by Zenichiro Ikeda. In the decades that followed, it has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of bearings and automotive steering systems.

With the merger of Koyo Seiko Co., Ltd. and Toyoda Machine Works, Ltd. on January 1, 2006, JTEKT was founded. Nowadays with a Head Office in Kariya, Japan, JTEKT has global operations in Europe, Asia, U.S., and Latin America.

Global Excellence

With activities focused on four major areas—bearing, steering, driveline, and machine tools—JTEKT aims at meeting the high expectations of its customers and winning the trust of society. Highest business standards and a firm technological base combined with engineering capabilities are JTEKT's foundation of growth and innovation.

JTEKT's ambition is to be among the world's top 10 automotive parts suppliers. JTEKT is presently the leading steering systems maker in Japan and the No. 2 maker worldwide, and was the first maker to develop electric and hydroelectric power steering systems.
