Igumbi lombukiso lika-Tokyo/Osaka-Shimano ekomkhulu lase-Osaka liyi-mecca yalobu buchwepheshe, obenze inkampani yaba igama elidumile ekugibeleni amabhayisikili emhlabeni wonke.
Ibhayisikili elinesisindo esingu-7 kg kuphela futhi elifakwe izingxenye ezicacile lingaphakanyiswa kalula ngesandla esisodwa.Abasebenzi bakwa-Shimano bakhomba imikhiqizo efana nochungechunge lwe-Dura-Ace, olwakhelwe ukuncintisana emijahweni yomgwaqo ngo-1973 futhi yaphinde yaboniswa ku-Tour de France yalo nyaka, ephele eParis kule mpelasonto.
Njengoba nje izingxenye ze-Shimano zakhelwe njengekhithi, indawo yombukiso ixhunywe emsebenzini omatasatasa wefekthri yenkampani engekude.Lapho, amakhulu ezisebenzi asebenza kanzima ukuze enze izingxenye ukuze ahlangabezane nesidingo somhlaba wonke ekudumeni okungakaze kubonwe kokuhamba ngamabhayisikili.
I-Shimano inezimo ezifanayo emafektri angu-15 emhlabeni jikelele.“Okwamanje ayikho imboni engasebenzi ngokugcwele,” kusho uTaizo Shimano, umongameli wale nkampani.
KuTaizo Shimano, oqokwe njengelungu lesithupha lomndeni ukuhola inkampani kulo nyaka, oqondana nokugubha iminyaka eyi-100 yasungulwa, lesi yisikhathi esizuzisayo kodwa esicindezelayo.
Selokhu kwaqala ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus, ukuthengiswa kanye nenzuzo kaShimano bekulokhu kukhuphuka ngoba abasanda kufika badinga amasondo amabili-abanye abantu bafuna indlela elula yokuzivocavoca ngesikhathi sokuvalwa, abanye bancamela ukugibela ibhayisikili baye emsebenzini, Esikhundleni sokugibela ngesibindi umphakathi ogcwele abantu. ezokuthutha.
Isamba semali engenayo ka-Shimano ka-2020 ingama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-63 (amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-574), okuwukukhuphuka ngo-22.5% kunonyaka odlule.Ngonyaka wezimali ka-2021, inkampani ilindele ukuthi imali engenayo iphinde igxumele kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-79 futhi.Ngonyaka odlule, inani layo lemakethe ladlula i-automaker yaseJapane iNissan.Manje isiyi-2.5 trillion yen.
Kodwa ukukhuphuka kwebhayisikili kube inselele ku-Shimano: ukuhambisana nesidingo esibonakala singaneliseki sezingxenye zalo.
"Siyaxolisa kakhulu [ngokuntuleka kwezinto]... Sigxekwa [umkhiqizi wamabhayisikili]," kusho u-Shimano Taizo engxoxweni yakamuva noNikkei Asia.Uthe lokho kufunwa “kuyaqhuma,” wengeza ngokuthi ulindele ukuthi lesi simo siqhubeke kuze kube okungenani ngonyaka ozayo.
Inkampani ikhiqiza izingxenye ngesivinini esisheshayo.UShimano uthe ukukhiqizwa kwalo nyaka kuzokwenyuka ngo-50% ngo-2019.
Itshala ama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-13 emafektri asekhaya ezifundeni zase-Osaka naseYamaguchi ukuze kukhuliswe umthamo wokukhiqiza futhi kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle.Iyakhula futhi eSingapore, okuyisizinda sokuqala senkampani sokukhiqiza phesheya kwezilwandle esasungulwa cishe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule.Idolobha-dolobha litshale ama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-20 embonini entsha ezokhiqiza amabhayisikili nezinye izingxenye.Ngemuva kokuhlehliswa kokwakhiwa ngenxa yemikhawulo ye-COVID-19, lesi sikhungo besihlelelwe ukuthi siqale ukukhiqiza ekupheleni kuka-2022 futhi kwakuhlelelwe ukuthi siphothulwe ngo-2020.
UTaizo Shimano uthe akanaso isiqiniseko sokuthi isidingo esidalwe yilolu bhubhane sizoqhubeka sikhuphuka ngaphezu kuka-2023. Kepha esikhathini esimaphakathi nesikhathi eside, ukholelwa ukuthi ngenxa yokuqwashisa ngezempilo okukhulayo kwesigaba esiphakathi sase-Asia kanye nokuqwashisa okwandayo komhlaba wonke. ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, imboni yamabhayisikili izothatha indawo.“Bayanda abantu abakhathazeke ngempilo [yabo],” esho.
Kubukeka kuqinisekile futhi ukuthi i-Shimano ngeke ibhekane nenselelo yokuphonsela inselelo isihloko sayo njengomhlinzeki wezingxenye zamabhayisikili ohamba phambili emhlabeni esikhathini esifushane, nakuba manje kufanele ifakazele ukuthi ingathwebula ingxenye yemakethe ehamba phambili: ibhethri lebhayisikili likagesi elinamandla angasindi.
I-Shimano yasungulwa ngo-1921 ngu-Shimano Masaburo e-Sakai City (eyaziwa ngokuthi "Idolobha Lensimbi") eduze kwase-Osaka njengemboni yensimbi.Ngemva konyaka isungulwe, iShimano yaqala ukwenza ama-flywheels ebhayisikili—umshini we-ratchet endaweni engemuva eyenza ukushelela kube nokwenzeka.
Esinye sezihluthulelo zempumelelo yale nkampani ubuchwepheshe bayo bokubumba obubandayo obuhlanganisa ukucindezela nokwenza insimbi ekamelweni lokushisa.Iyinkimbinkimbi futhi idinga ubuchwepheshe obuphezulu, kodwa futhi ingacutshungulwa ngokunemba.
U-Shimano ngokushesha waba umkhiqizi ohamba phambili wase-Japan, futhi kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1960, ngaphansi kobuholi bukamongameli wayo wesine, u-Yoshizo Shimano, waqala ukuzuza amakhasimende aphesheya kwezilwandle.U-Yoshizo, odlule emhlabeni ngonyaka odlule, usebenze njengenhloko yenkampani esebenza e-US nase-Europe, esiza inkampani yaseJapan ukuthi ingene emakethe ebiphethwe abakhiqizi base-Europe.I-Europe manje iyimakethe enkulu kunazo zonke yaseShimano, ibalwa cishe ngama-40% okuthengiswa kwayo.Sekukonke, ama-88% okuthengiswa kuka-Shimano ngonyaka odlule aqhamuka ezindaweni ezingaphandle kwase-Japan.
U-Shimano wasungula umqondo “wezingxenye zesistimu”, okuyisethi yezingxenye zamabhayisikili njengezinsimbi zamagiya namabhuleki.Lokhu kwaqinisa ithonya lomkhiqizo we-Shimano womhlaba wonke, kwayitholela igama lesiteketiso elithi “Intel of Bicycle Parts”.I-Shimano njengamanje inamaphesenti angaba ngu-80 esabelo semakethe yomhlaba wonke ezinhlelweni zokuthutha ngamabhayisikili: ku-Tour de France yalo nyaka, amaqembu angu-17 kwangu-23 abambe iqhaza asebenzise izingxenye ze-Shimano.
Ngaphansi kobuholi bukaYozo Shimano, owathatha izintambo njengomengameli ngo-2001 futhi manje osengusihlalo wale nkampani, inkampani yanda emhlabeni wonke yavula amagatsha e-Asia.Ukuqokwa kukaTaizo Shimano, umshana kaYoshizo kanye nomzala kaYozo, kuphawula isigaba esilandelayo sentuthuko yenkampani.
Njengoba idatha yakamuva yokuthengisa nenzuzo yenkampani ibonisa, ngandlela thize, manje isikhathi esikahle sokuthi i-Taizo ihole u-Shimano.Ngaphambi kokungena ebhizinisini lomkhaya, wafunda e-United States futhi wasebenza esitolo samabhayisikili eJalimane.
Kodwa ukusebenza okuvelele kwenkampani kwakamuva kubeke izindinganiso eziphakeme.Ukuhlangabezana nokukhuphuka kokulindela abatshalizimali kuzoba inselele."Kunezici ezibeka engcupheni ngoba isidingo samabhayisikili ngemuva kwalolu bhubhane asiqinisekile," kusho uSatoshi Sakae, umhlaziyi weDaiwa Securities.Omunye umhlaziyi, ocele ukuthi igama lakhe lingadalulwa, uthe uShimano "uveze ukuthi iningi lokunyuka kwentengo yesitoko ngo-2020 libangelwa umongameli wakhe wangaphambili uYozo."
Engxoxweni no-Nikkei Shimbun, u-Shimano Taizo wenze isiphakamiso sezindawo ezimbili zokukhula ezinkulu."I-Asia inezimakethe ezimbili ezinkulu, i-China ne-India," esho.Ubuye wengeza ukuthi inkampani izoqhubeka nokugxila emakethe yaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, lapho ukugibela ibhayisekili sekuqala ukubonakala njengento yokuzilibazisa, hhayi nje indlela yokuhamba.
Ngokusho kwedatha evela ku-Euromonitor International, imakethe yamabhayisikili yaseChina kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ku-US$16 billion ngo-2025, okuwukunyuka kwama-51.4% ngo-2020, kanti imakethe yamabhayisikili yaseNdiya kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule ngo-48% esikhathini esifanayo ukuze ifinyelele ku-US$1.42 billion.
UJustinas Liuima, umeluleki omkhulu kwa-Euromonitor International, uthe: “Ukufudukela kwabantu emadolobheni, ukwanda kokuqwashisa ngezempilo, ukutshalwa kwezimali engqalasizinda yamabhayisikili kanye noshintsho lwamaphethini okuhamba ngemuva kwalolu bhubhane kulindeleke ukuthi kukhuphule isidingo samabhayisikili [e-Asia].”Ngo-FY 2020, i-Asia Inikele cishe u-34% wesamba semali engenayo ka-Shimano.
E-China, i-boom yangaphambili yebhayisikili yezemidlalo yasiza ekukhuliseni ukuthengiswa kukaShimano lapho, kodwa yafinyelela umvuthwandaba ngo-2014. "Nakuba kusekude nenani eliphakeme, ukusetshenziswa kwasekhaya kuphinde kwavuka," kusho uTaizo.Ubikezela ukuthi sizobuya isidingo samabhayisikili asezingeni eliphezulu.
E-India, i-Shimano yasungula inkampani yokuthengisa nokusabalalisa e-Bangalore ngo-2016. U-Taizo uthe: "Kusathatha isikhathi" ukwandisa imakethe, encane kodwa enamandla amakhulu.“Ngiye ngizibuze ukuthi sizokhula yini isidingo sama-India samabhayisikili, kodwa kunzima,” kusho yena.Kodwa wenezela ukuthi abanye abantu besigaba esiphakathi eNdiya bagibela amabhayisikili ekuseni kakhulu ukuze bagweme ukushisa.
Imboni entsha kaShimano eSingapore ngeke nje ibe isikhungo sokukhiqiza emakethe yase-Asia, kodwa futhi isikhungo sokuqeqesha abasebenzi kanye nokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza eChina naseNingizimu-mpumalanga Asia.
Ukwandisa ithonya layo emkhakheni wamabhayisikili kagesi kungenye ingxenye ebalulekile yohlelo lokukhula lukaShimano.Umhlaziyi weDaiwa, uSakae, uthe amabhayisikili kagesi ahlanganisa cishe u-10% wemali etholwa uShimano, kodwa inkampani isalele ngemuva kwabaqhudelana nabo abafana noBosch, inkampani yaseJalimane eyaziwa ngezingxenye zayo zezimoto, esebenza ngamandla eYurophu.
Amabhayisikili kagesi abeka inselele kubakhiqizi bengxenye yamabhayisikili abavamile abafana no-Shimano ngenxa yokuthi kufanele anqobe izithiyo ezintsha zobuchwepheshe, njengokusuka ohlelweni lokuhambisa ngomshini ukuya ohlelweni lokudlulisela ngogesi.Lezi zingxenye kufanele futhi zihlangane kahle nebhethri nemoto.
U-Shimano uphinde abhekane nomqhudelwano oshubile wabadlali abasha.Njengoba esesebenze embonini iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-30, uShimano ubazi kahle ubunzima.“Uma kukhulunywa ngamabhayisikili kagesi baningi abadlali embonini yezimoto,” usho kanje.“[Imboni yezimoto] icabanga ngezinga neminye imibono ngendlela ehluke ngokuphelele kweyethu.”
I-Bosch yethula uhlelo lwayo lwamabhayisikili kagesi ngo-2009 futhi manje inikeza izingxenye zezinhlobo zamabhayisikili ezingaphezu kuka-70 emhlabeni jikelele.Ngo-2017, umkhiqizi waseJalimane waze wangena ensimini yasekhaya kaShimano futhi wangena emakethe yaseJapane.
Umeluleki we-Euromonitor uLiuima uthe: “Izinkampani ezifana neBosch zinolwazi lokukhiqiza amamotho kagesi futhi zinoxhaxha lwempahla emhlabeni wonke olungaqhudelana ngempumelelo nabaphakeli bezingxenye zamabhayisikili asebekhulile emakethe yamabhayisikili kagesi.”
"Ngicabanga ukuthi amabhayisikili kagesi azoba yingxenye yengqalasizinda [yezenhlalo]," kusho uTaizang.Le nkampani ikholelwa ukuthi ngokwanda kokunaka kwemvelo emhlabeni wonke, amandla kagesi azoba yindlela evamile yokuhamba.Ibikezela ukuthi uma imakethe ithola umfutho, izosabalala ngokushesha nangokuqhubekayo.
