Ko te whare whakaaturanga o Tokyo/Osaka-Shimano i te tari matua o Ōsaka te pūtake o tēnei hangarau, ā, kua rongonui te kamupene i te ao pahikara puta noa i te ao.
He pahikara e 7 kg noa iho te taumaha, ā, he wāhanga tino pai ngā āhuatanga, ka taea te hapai ngāwari ki te ringa kotahi. I tohu ngā kaimahi Shimano ki ngā hua pēnei i te raupapa Dura-Ace, i whakawhanakehia mō ngā reihi rori whakataetae i te tau 1973, ā, i whakaaturia anō i te Tour de France o tēnei tau, i mutu i Parī i tēnei wiki mutunga.
Pērā i te hoahoa o ngā wāhanga o Shimano hei kete, e hono ana te whare whakaaturanga ki ngā mahi pukumahi o te wheketere o te kamupene e tata ana. I reira, e rau ngā kaimahi e mahi kaha ana ki te hanga wāhanga hei whakatutuki i te hiahia o te ao i roto i te rongonui o te pahikara.
He rite tonu ngā āhuatanga o Shimano i roto i ngā wheketere 15 huri noa i te ao. "Kāore he wheketere kāore i te tino mahi i tēnei wā," te kī a Taizo Shimano, te perehitini o te kamupene.
Mō Taizo Shimano, i whakatūria hei mema tuaono o te whānau hei ārahi i te kamupene i tēnei tau, e hangai ana ki te huritau 100 o te kamupene, he wā whai hua engari he wā taumaha hoki tēnei.
Mai i te tīmatanga o te mate urutā coronavirus, kua piki haere ngā hoko me ngā hua o Shimano nā te mea e hiahia ana ngā tauhou ki ngā wira e rua - ko ētahi e rapu ana i tētahi huarahi māmā ki te whakakorikori tinana i te wā kati, ko ētahi e pai ake ana ki te eke pahikara ki te mahi, kaua ki te eke waka a te iwi kikī.
Ko te moni whiwhi kupenga a Shimano mō te tau 2020 he 63 piriona yen (574 miriona tāra US), he pikinga 22.5% i tērā tau. Mō te tau pūtea 2021, e matapaetia ana e te kamupene ka piki anō te moni whiwhi kupenga ki te 79 piriona yen. I tērā tau, i hipa ake tōna uara mākete i te kaihanga waka Hapanihi a Nissan. Inaianei he 2.5 trillion yen.
Heoi, he wero nui te whanaketanga o te pahikara mā Shimano: te whakatutuki i te tono nui mō āna wāhanga.
"E mihi nui ana mātou mō [te korenga o te tuku]... E whakahengia ana mātou e [te kaihanga pahikara]," te kī a Shimano Taizo i roto i tētahi uiuinga tata nei ki a Nikkei Asia. I mea ia he "tino kaha te tono," me te tāpiri atu e matapaetia ana e ia ka haere tonu tēnei ia tae noa ki te tau e tū mai nei.
Kei te tere rawa te hanga o ngā wāhanga e te kamupene. I kī a Shimano ka piki ake te hanga o tēnei tau mā te 50% i te tau 2019.
Kei te whakangao moni rātou i te 13 piriona yen ki ngā wheketere o te rohe o Ōsaka me Yamaguchi hei whakanui ake i te kaha whakaputa me te whakapai ake i te whai huatanga. Kei te whakawhānui hoki i roto i a Singapore, koinei te turanga whakaputa tuatahi a te kamupene ki tāwāhi i whakatūria tata ki te rima tau ki muri. I whakangao moni te tāone-whenua i te 20 piriona yen ki tētahi wheketere hou ka whakaputa i ngā tuku pahikara me ētahi atu wāhanga. Whai muri i te whakaroa o te hanganga nā ngā here COVID-19, i whakaritea kia tīmata te whakaputa i te mutunga o te tau 2022, ā, i whakaritea tuatahitia kia oti i te tau 2020.
I kī a Taizo Shimano kāore ia i te tino mōhio mēnā ka piki tonu te tono i puta mai i te mate urutā i tua atu i te tau 2023. Engari i roto i te wā waenga me te wā roa, e whakapono ana ia nā te tipu haere o te mōhiotanga hauora o te hunga waenga o Āhia me te tipu haere o te mōhiotanga ki te tiaki taiao o te ao, ka noho te umanga pahikara ki tētahi tūranga. "Kei te piki haere te āwangawanga o te iwi mō [tō rātou] hauora," tana kī.
E tino kitea ana hoki kāore a Shimano e aro ki te wero o te whakataetae i tōna taitara hei kaiwhakarato wāhanga pahikara nui rawa atu o te ao i roto i te wā poto, ahakoa me whakamatau inaianei ka taea e ia te hopu i te wāhanga mākete e whai ake nei e puāwai ana: te pākahiko pahikara hiko mama.
I whakatūria a Shimano i te tau 1921 e Shimano Masaburo i te Tāone o Sakai (e mōhiotia ana ko te "Tāone Rino") e tata ana ki Ōsaka hei wheketere rino. Kotahi tau i muri i tōna whakatūnga, ka tīmata a Shimano ki te hanga wira rere pahikara - te tikanga ratchet i te pokapū o muri e taea ai te reti.
Ko tētahi o ngā kī ki te angitu o te kamupene ko tana hangarau hanga matao, arā, ko te pēhi me te hanga i te konganuku i te pāmahana rūma. He uaua tēnei, ā, me whai hangarau teitei, engari ka taea hoki te tukatuka tika.
I tere tonu te noho a Shimano hei kaihanga matua o Hapani, ā, mai i te tekau tau atu i 1960, i raro i te kaiārahi o tōna perehitini tuawhā, a Yoshizo Shimano, ka tīmata ia ki te toa i ngā kiritaki o tāwāhi. Ko Yoshizo, i mate i te tau kua hipa, te tumuaki o ngā mahi a te kamupene i Amerika me Ūropi, ā, i āwhina i te kamupene Hapanihi ki te uru atu ki te mākete i mua ko ngā kaihanga Ūropi te rangatira. Ko Ūropi te mākete nui rawa atu a Shimano ināianei, e 40% o āna hoko. I te katoa, 88% o ngā hoko a Shimano i te tau kua hipa i ahu mai i ngā rohe i waho o Hapani.
Nā Shimano i tito te ariā o ngā "wāhanga pūnaha", arā, he huinga wāhanga pahikara pērā i ngā rīpene taputapu me ngā pēraki. Nā tēnei i whakakaha ake te awe o te waitohu Shimano o te ao, ā, i tapaina ko "Intel of Bicycle Parts". E 80% pea te wāhanga mākete o te ao o ngā pūnaha tuku pahikara kei a Shimano i tēnei wā: i te Tour de France o tēnei tau, 17 o ngā tīma 23 i whai wāhi i whakamahi i ngā wāhanga Shimano.
I raro i te kaiārahi o Yozo Shimano, nāna i tīmata te mahi hei perehitini i te tau 2001, ā, ko ia te heamana o te kamupene ināianei, i whānui haere te kamupene puta noa i te ao, ā, i whakatuwherahia ngā peka ki Āhia. Ko te whakatūnga o Taizo Shimano, te iramutu a Yoshizo me te whanaunga o Yozo, te tohu i te wāhanga e whai ake nei o te whanaketanga o te kamupene.
E ai ki ngā raraunga hoko me ngā hua o te kamupene, i ētahi wā, koinei te wā pai mō Taizo ki te ārahi i a Shimano. I mua i tana urunga atu ki te pakihi whānau, i kuraina ia ki te Hononga o Amerika, ā, i mahi i tētahi toa pahikara i Tiamana.
Engari nā te mahi tino pai a te kamupene i whakatū ai i ngā paerewa teitei. He wero te whakatutuki i ngā tumanakohanga a ngā kaipupuri moni e piki haere ana. "He āhuatanga mōrearea kei reira nā te mea kāore i te tino mārama te tono mō ngā pahikara i muri i te mate urutā," te kī a Satoshi Sakae, he kaitātari i Daiwa Securities. I kī tētahi atu kaitātari, i tono kia kaua e whakahuatia tōna ingoa, "e kī ana a Shimano ko tana perehitini o mua, a Yozo, te take o te nuinga o te pikinga o te utu hea i te tau 2020."
I roto i tētahi uiuinga ki a Nikkei Shimbun, i whakaarohia e Shimano Taizo ētahi wāhanga tipu nui e rua. "E rua ngā mākete nui o Āhia, ko Haina me Īnia," tana kī. I tāpiri atu ia ka aro tonu te kamupene ki te mākete o Āhia ki te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti, kei reira te tīmatanga o te tirohanga o te eke pahikara hei mahi whakangahau, ehara i te mea he huarahi kawe waka noa iho.
E ai ki ngā raraunga mai i Euromonitor International, e matapaetia ana ka eke te mākete pahikara o Haina ki te US$16 piriona i te tau 2025, he pikinga 51.4% mai i te tau 2020, ko te mākete pahikara o Īnia ia e matapaetia ana ka tipu mā te 48% i roto i taua wā anō kia eke ki te US$1.42 piriona.
I mea atu a Justinas Liuima, he kaitohutohu matua i Euromonitor International: "Ko te noho tāone, te pikinga ake o te mōhiotanga hauora, te haumi ki ngā hanganga pahikara me ngā huringa i roto i ngā tauira haereere i muri i te mate urutā e matapaetia ana ka piki ake te hiahia mō ngā pahikara i [Āhia]." I te tau pūtea 2020, i takoha a Āhia ki te 34% o te moni whiwhi katoa a Shimano.
I Haina, i āwhina te pikinga ake o ngā hoko a Shimano i reira e te pikinga o te rongonui o ngā pahikara hākinakina o mua, engari i eke ki tōna taumata teitei i te tau 2014. "Ahakoa kei tawhiti tonu i te taumata teitei, kua piki anō te hoko o te whare," te kī a Taizo. E matapae ana ia ka hoki mai te hiahia mō ngā pahikara kounga teitei.
I Inia, i whakatūria e Shimano tētahi apiti hokohoko me te tohatoha i Bangalore i te tau 2016. I mea a Taizo: "He roa tonu te wā" ki te whakawhānui i te mākete, he iti nei engari he nui te pūmanawa. "He maha aku whakaaro mēnā ka piki ake te hiahia o Inia mō ngā pahikara, engari he uaua," tana kī. Engari i tāpiri atu ia ko ētahi o te hunga o te akomanga waenga i Inia ka eke pahikara i te atatu hei karo i te wera.
Ehara i te mea ka noho ko te wheketere hou a Shimano i Singapore hei pokapū whakaputa mō te mākete Āhia anake, engari hei pokapū whakangungu kaimahi me te whakawhanake i ngā hangarau hangahanga mō Haina me te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia.
Ko tētahi atu wāhanga nui o te mahere tipu a Shimano ko te whakawhānui i tōna awe i roto i te ao o ngā pahikara hiko. E ai ki te kaitātari o Daiwa, a Sakae, tata ki te 10% o ngā moni whiwhi a Shimano ko ngā pahikara hiko, engari kei muri te kamupene i ngā kaiwhakataetae pērā i a Bosch, he kamupene Tiamana e mōhiotia ana mō āna wāhanga motuka, he kaha te mahi i roto i a Ūropi.
He wero ngā pahikara hiko ki ngā kaihanga wāhanga pahikara tuku iho pērā i a Shimano nā te mea me wikitoria e ia ngā arai hangarau hou, pērā i te whakawhiti mai i te pūnaha tuku miihini ki te pūnaha tuku hiko. Me hono pai hoki ēnei wāhanga ki te pākahiko me te motuka.
He whakataetae nui anō hoki kei te tūtaki a Shimano mai i ngā kaitākaro hou. Neke atu i te 30 tau a Shimano e mahi ana i roto i te umanga, ā, e mōhio ana ia ki ngā uauatanga. "Mō ngā pahikara hiko, he maha ngā kaitākaro i roto i te umanga motuka," tana kī. "He rerekē rawa te whakaaro o [te umanga motuka] ki te tauine me ētahi atu ariā i tō mātou."
I whakarewahia e Bosch tana pūnaha pahikara hiko i te tau 2009, ā, inaianei e whakarato ana i ngā wāhanga mō ngā waitohu pahikara neke atu i te 70 huri noa i te ao. I te tau 2017, i uru atu te kaihanga Tiamana ki te ao taketake o Shimano, ā, i uru atu ki te mākete Hapanihi.
I mea atu a Liuima, te kaitohutohu a Euromonitor: "He wheako ngā kamupene pēnei i a Bosch ki te hanga motuka hiko, ā, he mekameka tuku taonga ā-ao anō hoki tā rātou e taea ai te whakataetae angitu ki ngā kaiwhakarato wāhanga pahikara pakeke i te mākete pahikara hiko."
"Ki taku whakaaro ka uru ngā pahikara hiko ki roto i ngā hanganga [pāpori]," te kī a Taizang. E whakapono ana te kamupene, nā te aro nui o te ao ki te taiao, ka noho te hiko o te pāreti hei huarahi kawe waka noa. E matapaetia ana, ina kaha ake te mākete, ka horapa tere, ka pumau hoki.
