IWATA, September 13, 2016—Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) announced today that it has been determined at the respective Board of Directors meetings of its consolidated subsidiaries Toyobesq Co., Ltd. and Fine Catec Co., Ltd. held today that the two companies will merge, with Toyobesq Co., Ltd. to be the continuing company.

After the shareholders meetings of the respective companies to be held on September 28, the merger will be implemented on January 1, 2017, marking the start of the new company “Yamaha Motor Precision Parts Manufacturing Co., Ltd.”
This merger intends not only to encompass the manufacturing of small- to medium-sized components by combining both companies’ strengths, but also to strengthen its position as a unit supplier by expanding business into the manufacturing of high-precision unit components.
By the end of last year, the two companies aggregated their respective manufacturing plants (excluding the Negata Factory) and headquarters functions at Yamaha Motor's Morimachi Factory in Morimachi (Shūchi, Shizuoka, Japan), strengthening cooperation in manufacturing technology and taking initiatives to expand business through integrated manufacturing from casting to processing and assembly.
