ʻO ke keʻena hōʻikeʻike o Tokyo/Osaka-Shimano ma ke keʻena nui o Osaka ka mecca o kēia ʻenehana, ka mea i hoʻolilo i ka hui i inoa ʻohana i ka holo paikikala ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
Hiki ke hapai ma'alahi me ka lima ho'okahi ka paikikala he 7 kg wale nō ke kaumaha a me nā mea kiko'ī ki'eki'e.Ua kuhikuhi nā limahana Shimano i nā huahana e like me ka Dura-Ace series, i hoʻomohala ʻia no ka heihei alanui hoʻokūkū ma 1973 a ua hōʻike hou ʻia i kēia makahiki Tour de France, i pau i Paris i kēia hopena pule.
E like me ka hoʻolālā ʻana o nā ʻāpana o Shimano ma ke ʻano he kit, pili ka lumi hōʻikeʻike i ka hana paʻakikī o ka hale hana ʻoihana ʻaʻole mamao loa.Ma laila, hana ikaika nā haneli o nā limahana e hana i nā ʻāpana e hoʻokō i ka noi honua i ka kaulana kaulana ʻole o ka paikikala.
Loaʻa iā Shimano nā kūlana like i nā hale hana 15 a puni ka honua."ʻAʻohe hale hana i hana ʻole ʻia i kēia manawa," wahi a Taizo Shimano, ka pelekikena o ka hui.
No Taizo Shimano, ka mea i koho ʻia ʻo ke ono o ka lālā o ka ʻohana e alakaʻi i ka hui i kēia makahiki, i hui pū me ka makahiki 100 o ka hui, he manawa pōmaikaʻi akā pilikia kēia.
Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus, ua piʻi nui ka kūʻai ʻana a me ka loaʻa kālā o Shimano no ka mea e pono ai ka poʻe hou i ʻelua huila - ke ʻimi nei kekahi poʻe i kahi ala maʻalahi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka wā o ka laka, ʻoi aku ka poʻe ʻē aʻe e holo i ka hana ma ke kaʻa. kaʻahele.
ʻO ka loaʻa kālā ʻo Shimano 2020 he 63 biliona yen (574 miliona US kālā), he piʻi o 22.5% ma mua o ka makahiki i hala.No ka makahiki fiscal 2021, manaʻo ka ʻoihana e lele hou ka loaʻa kālā i 79 biliona yen.I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o kāna mākeke ma mua o ka mea hana kaʻa Iapana ʻo Nissan.I kēia manawa he 2.5 trillion yen.
Akā, ua lilo ka boom paikikala i mea paʻakikī no Shimano: e hoʻomau i ka makemake i ʻike ʻole ʻia no kāna mau ʻāpana.
"Ke mihi nui nei mākou no [ka nele i ka lako]… Hoʻohewa ʻia mākou e [ka mea hana paʻa paʻa]," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Shimano Taizo i kahi ninaninau hou me Nikkei Asia.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he "explosive" ka noi, me ka hoʻohui ʻana ua manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻomau kēia ʻano a hiki i ka makahiki aʻe.
Ke hana nei ka hui i nā ʻāpana i ka wikiwiki loa.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Shimano e hoʻonui ʻia ka hana o kēia makahiki e 50% ma mua o 2019.
Ke hoʻolilo nei ʻo ia i 13 biliona yen i nā hale hana hale ma Osaka a me Yamaguchi prefecture e hoʻonui i ka hiki ke hana a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pono.Ke hoʻonui nei hoʻi ia ma Singapore, ʻo ia ka waihona hana mua o ka ʻoihana ma waho i hoʻokumu ʻia ma kahi o ʻelima mau makahiki i hala.Ua hoʻolilo ke kūlanakauhale-mokuʻāina i 20 biliona yen i kahi mea kanu hou e hana ai i nā hoʻoili kaʻa a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe.Ma hope o ka hoʻopanee ʻia ʻana o ke kūkulu ʻana ma muli o nā palena COVID-19, ua hoʻomaka ka mea kanu e hoʻomaka i ka hana ma ka hopena o 2022 a ua hoʻomaka mua ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia i 2020.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Taizo Shimano ʻaʻole maopopo ʻo ia inā e piʻi mau ka noi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi maʻi ma mua o 2023. Akā i ka manawa waena a me ka lōʻihi, manaʻo ʻo ia ma muli o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻike olakino o ka papa waena o ʻAsia a me ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻike o ka honua. mālama kaiapuni, e noho ka ʻoihana paikikala i kahi."ʻOi aku ka nui o ka poʻe e hopohopo nei i ko lākou olakino," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.
Me he mea lā ʻaʻole e alo ʻo Shimano i ka luʻi o ka hoʻokūkū ʻana i kona poʻo inoa ʻo ia ka mea hoʻolako ʻāpana paikikala kiʻekiʻe o ka honua i ka wā pōkole, ʻoiai pono ia e hōʻoia i kēia manawa hiki iā ia ke hopu i ka māhele mākeke e hiki mai ana: ka uila uila uila uila.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Shimano ma 1921 e Shimano Masaburo ma Sakai City (i kapa ʻia ʻo "Iron City") kokoke i Osaka ma ke ʻano he hale hana hao.Hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o kona hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Shimano e hana i nā wili paikikala-ʻo ka mīkini ratchet ma ka ʻaoʻao hope e hiki ai ke hoʻoheheʻe.
ʻO kekahi o nā kī i ka holomua o ka ʻoihana ʻo ia kāna ʻenehana forging anuanu, e pili ana i ke kaomi ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i ka metala ma ka lumi wela.He paʻakikī a koi i ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe, akā hiki ke hana pololei ʻia.
Ua lilo koke ʻo Shimano i mea hana nui ma Iapana, a mai ka makahiki 1960, ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana o kāna pelekikena ʻehā, ʻo Yoshizo Shimano, hoʻomaka e lanakila i nā mea kūʻai aku ma waho.ʻO Yoshizo, ka mea i hala i ka makahiki i hala, ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke poʻo o ka ʻoihana US a me ʻEulopa, e kōkua ana i ka hui Iapana e komo i ka mākeke i hoʻomalu ʻia e nā mea hana ʻEulopa.ʻO ʻEulopa ka mākeke nui loa ʻo Shimano i kēia manawa, ʻo ia ka helu o 40% o kāna kūʻai.ʻO ka holoʻokoʻa, 88% o nā kūʻai aku a Shimano i ka makahiki i hala mai nā wahi ma waho o Iapana.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Shimano i ka manaʻo o "nā ʻāpana ʻōnaehana", ʻo ia kahi hoʻonohonoho o nā ʻāpana paikikala e like me nā levers gear a me nā pahu.ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻoikaika i ka mana honua o Shimano, a loaʻa iā ia ka inoa kapakapa "Intel of Bicycle Parts".Aia ʻo Shimano i kēia manawa ma kahi o 80% o ka māhele mākeke honua i nā ʻōnaehana hoʻoili kaʻa: i kēia makahiki Tour de France, 17 o nā hui 23 i komo i hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana Shimano.
Ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Yozo Shimano, ka mea i noho pelekikena ma 2001 a ʻo ia ka luna o ka hui, ua hoʻonui ka hui ma ka honua a wehe i nā lālā ma Asia.ʻO ke koho ʻana iā Taizo Shimano, ke kaikunāne a Yoshizo a me ke kaikunāne o Yozo, e hōʻailona i ka pae aʻe o ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻoihana.
E like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka ʻikepili kūʻai a me ka loaʻa kālā o ka hui, ma kekahi mau ʻano, ʻo kēia ka manawa kūpono no Taizo e alakaʻi iā Shimano.Ma mua o kona komo ʻana i ka ʻoihana ʻohana, ua aʻo ʻia ʻo ia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a ua hana ʻo ia ma kahi hale kūʻai kaʻa kaʻa ma Kelemānia.
Akā ʻo ka hana koʻikoʻi o ka hui i hoʻonohonoho i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe.He mea paʻakikī ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā manaʻolana piʻi o nā mea hoʻopukapuka."Aia nā kumu pilikia no ka mea ʻaʻole maopopo ka koi ʻana i nā kaʻa ma hope o ka maʻi maʻi," wahi a Satoshi Sakae, kahi loiloi ma Daiwa Securities.ʻO kekahi mea loiloi, nāna i noi ʻaʻole e kapa ʻia, ʻōlelo ʻo Shimano "ʻo ka hapa nui o ke kumukūʻai kumukūʻai i 2020 i kāna pelekikena mua ʻo Yozo."
Ma kahi hālāwai ninaninau me Nikkei Shimbun, ua hāʻawi ʻo Shimano Taizo i ʻelua mau wahi ulu nui."He ʻelua mau mākeke nui ʻo Asia, ʻo Kina a me India," wahi āna.Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia e hoʻomau ka ʻoihana i ka mākeke o Asia Hema, kahi e ʻike ʻia ai ke kaʻa kaʻa ma ke ʻano he hana leʻaleʻa, ʻaʻole wale ke ʻano o ka lawe ʻana.
Wahi a ka ʻikepili mai Euromonitor International, ua manaʻo ʻia ka mākeke kaʻa kaʻa o Kina e hōʻea i ka US $ 16 biliona e 2025, kahi piʻi o 51.4% ma mua o 2020, ʻoiai ke manaʻo nei ka mākeke kaʻa kaʻa India e ulu e 48% i ka manawa like a hiki i ka US $ 1.42 biliona.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Justinas Liuima, he loea nui ma Euromonitor International: "Urbanization, hoʻonui i ka ʻike olakino, hoʻopukapuka i nā ʻoihana uila a me nā loli i nā ʻano hoʻololi ma hope o ka maʻi maʻi e manaʻo ʻia e hoʻonui i ka noi no nā kaʻa ma [Asia]."FY 2020, Ua hāʻawi ʻo ʻAsia ma kahi o 34% o ka huina kālā a Shimano.
Ma Kina, ua kōkua ka boom paikikala haʻuki mua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kūʻai aku ʻana o Shimano ma laila, akā ua piʻi i ka 2014. "ʻOiai ua mamao loa ia mai ka piko, ua piʻi hou ka ʻai ʻana i ka home," wahi a Taizo.Manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻi mai ka makemake no nā kaʻa kaʻa kiʻekiʻe.
Ma India, ua hoʻokumuʻo Shimano i kahi hui kūʻai a me ka hāʻawiʻana i Bangalore i ka makahiki 2016. Ua'ōleloʻo Taizo: "E mau ana ka manawa" e hoʻonui i ka mākeke, he mea liʻiliʻi akā he mana nui."Ke noʻonoʻo pinepine nei au inā e ulu ka makemake o India no nā kaʻa, akā paʻakikī," wahi āna.Akā ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo ia e holo kaʻaahi kekahi poʻe ma waena o India i ke kakahiaka nui e pale i ka wela.
ʻO ka hale hana hou o Shimano ma Singapore, ʻaʻole ia e lilo i kikowaena hana no ka mākeke ʻAsia, akā he kikowaena no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā limahana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻenehana hana no Kina a me Asia Hema.
ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i kona mana ma ke kahua o nā kaʻa uila kekahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻolālā ulu ʻana o Shimano.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sakae ka mea loiloi ʻo Daiwa he 10% ka nui o ka loaʻa kālā o Shimano, akā aia ka hui ma hope o nā mea hoʻokūkū e like me Bosch, kahi hui Kelemania i ʻike ʻia no kāna mau ʻāpana kaʻa, he hana ikaika ma ʻEulopa.
He mea paʻakikī nā paikikala uila i nā mea hana paʻa kaʻa kuʻuna e like me Shimano no ka mea pono e lanakila i nā pilikia ʻenehana hou, e like me ka hoʻololi ʻana mai kahi ʻōnaehana uila i kahi ʻōnaehana uila uila.Pono e hui maikaʻi kēia mau ʻāpana me ka pākaukau a me ka moto.
Ke kū nei ʻo Shimano i ka hoʻokūkū ikaika mai nā mea pāʻani hou.Ma hope o ka hana ʻana ma ka ʻoihana ma mua o 30 mau makahiki, ʻike maopopo ʻo Shimano i nā pilikia."I ka hiki ʻana i nā kaʻa uila, nui nā mea pāʻani i ka ʻoihana kaʻa," wahi āna."Noʻonoʻo ʻo [ka ʻoihana kaʻa] e pili ana i ka paona a me nā manaʻo ʻē aʻe ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa loa mai kā mākou."
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Bosch i kāna ʻōnaehana kaʻa uila i ka makahiki 2009 a hāʻawi i kēia manawa i nā ʻāpana no nā mea ʻoi aku ma mua o 70 mau pahu paikikala a puni ka honua.I ka makahiki 2017, ua komo ka mea hana Kelemania i ke kahua home o Shimano a komo i ka mākeke Iapana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Liuima, ka mea aʻoaʻo o Euromonitor: "Ua loaʻa i nā ʻoihana e like me Bosch ka ʻike i ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa uila a loaʻa iā ia kahi kaulahao lako honua e hiki ke hoʻokūkū kūleʻa me nā mea hoʻolako paʻa paʻa paʻa i ka mākeke kaʻa uila."
"Manaʻo wau e lilo nā kaʻa uila i ʻāpana o ka ʻoihana [social]," wahi a Taizang.Manaʻo ka ʻoihana me ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o ka nānā ʻana o ka honua i ke kaiapuni, e lilo ka mana pedal uila i mea maʻamau o ka lawe ʻana.Ke wānana nei ʻo ia i ka wā e loaʻa ai ka ikaika o ka mākeke, e laha koke a paʻa.
