About the headquarters: SHIMANO INC.

Shimano Iron Works, the predecessor of Shimano Inc., was founded in 1921 by Shozaburo Shimano in the city of Sakai, Osaka, Japan. The first production was the single freewheel for bicycles, which required the greatest technical skills to manufacture. In 1951, the company name changed to Shimano Industrial Co, LTD. In 1965, we established Shimano American Corporation (currently Shimano North America Holding, Inc.) as the first overseas sales office, while Shimano Singapore Pte. Ltd. as the first overseas manufacturing plant in 1973. In 1991, the company name was changed to Shimano Inc. Currently, we have expanded our network worldwide with consolidated subsidiaries. Since the establishment of Shimano, the head office has been located in Sakai, the birthplace of Shimano. Shimano Inc. is the head office and has a wide range of functions including planning, development, design, manufacturing and various other support functions for the supply of bicycle components, fishing equipment and rowing equipment.
