What Namicoh does
Namicoh (ナミコー株式會社) is a private Japanese automotive parts manufacturer founded October 27, 1947, headquartered in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture. The company designs, analyzes, and manufactures pressed and sheet-metal automotive components across three core product lines: body-related components (rigidity and collision safety), chassis-related components (running, turning, and braking functions), and functional components. Its core technology is an integrated one-stop production system spanning press, welding, painting, and assembly processes, operated across five production bases — Itami (HQ), Shiga, and Kitakyushu in Japan, plus wholly-owned PT.Namicoh Indonesia Component (NIC, est. 2002) and Malaysia entities Namicoh Suria Sdn Bhd (NSSB, JV established 2017) and Namicoh Suria Press Sdn Bhd (NPSB, acquired 2023, renamed 2024).
The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise relationships to major automotive OEMs, with Daihatsu Motor as a customer and capital investor since 1948 and Toyota Motor since 2000. All overseas subsidiaries are positioned adjacent to specific named customers: ADM and TMMIN in Indonesia; Perodua Manufacturing and ASSB in Malaysia. Pricing is quote-based B2B under long-term supply contracts; revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains debt-free operations, ISO 9001 quality certification (since 2002) and ISO 14001 environmental certification (since 2001, renewed October 2025), and 2,346 group employees as of May 2025. Ownership rests within the Daihatsu group via Daihatsu's capital investment, though Namicoh operates as an independent supplier that also serves non-Daihatsu brands.
