Sanden is striving to develop“environmentally advanced products”designed to create additional value while reducing environmental impact. While constantly
considering what kinds of products will be considered better from the perspectives of customers, we are moving ahead with the development of products that
can promote the realization of a sustainable society by helping lower energy consumption, preserve resources, and reduce the use of hazardous materials.
Going forward, we are anticipating great changes in society and are doing our best to respond to those changes ahead of time by advancing with the
development of environment-friendly technologies. Because doing this effectively requires appropriate product and technology evaluation measures, we are
employing the various product development processes described below.

through Challenge and Reform around the Globe
List of Directors and Corporate Officers / History of the Sanden Group
April
2000
Profile
It was July 1943. With Japan at war, private factories were faced with the choice
of shifting to production of goods to satisfy military needs or go out of business.
Kaihei Ushikubo, the operator of a textile mill, went into the production of parts
for telecommunications equipment and mica condensers. This is how the
predecessor of today's Sanden Corporation, Sankyo Denki Co., Ltd. (SD), came
into being. After the war, our predecessors took a hint from watching employees
commute to work on bicycles and made the transition to the production of
bicycle lights equipped with small electric power generators. These were marketed under the trademark of
an owl, a bird known for being able to see at night, and under the catchphrases "Providing a Second Sight in
the Dark of Night" and "1,000 Times Brighter than a Full Moon." In 1953, the factory produced about 30,000
units a month and established an unshakeable position in the light-with-generator industry.
October 1980: Sankyo International (U.S.A.) established a plant in the United States for
manufacturing compressors for car air conditioners.
