What NIdec does

Nidec Conversion (formerly Nidec Industrial Solutions), a wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly listed Nidec Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange, ticker NJDCY), designs, manufactures, and installs complete industrial electrical systems including low and medium/high voltage motors and drives (0.75 kW to 4 MW), generators up to 60 MVA, battery energy storage systems (BESS), power quality systems, softstarters, excitation systems, and automation and process control solutions. Operations are anchored at the Roche-la-Molière site in France with manufacturing in Monfalcone and Salerno, Italy, and a newly expanded press machine assembly factory in Ritto, Japan (doubled domestic capacity from 60 to 120 units annually, expanded from 150 to 330 tons capacity). The company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales and a global system integrator network targeting three vertical groupings: Energy (BESS, microgrids, hydrogen, hydropower, wind, oil and gas, power plants), Motion (EV charging infrastructure, marine, cranes, test benches), and heavy industry (metals, mining). Customers are heavy-industry end users, grid operators, and utilities where uptime and reliability are paramount.

The business model combines hardware sales of engineered-to-order electrical equipment, system integration professional services, and recurring lifecycle service revenue via 24/7 global support and spare parts. Named enterprise customers include Neoen (248 MW/496 MWh BESS in Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine, France — the largest BESS in France), Sorgenia (Termoli Power Plant Energy Multifactory transformation), and partners Rolls-Royce (Lithuanian BESS), BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions (European e-mobility financing), and Tata Elxsi (industrial software). Pricing is custom-quoted, not publicly disclosed, and revenue is anchored by long-cycle infrastructure contracts and ongoing service relationships.
