California-based DENSO completes reorganization

April 1, 2013

Out of the ashes of DENSO Sales California Inc.'s reorganization comes a new company: DENSO Products and Services Americas Inc.

As part of the reorganization, American Industrial Manufacturing Services in Murrieta, Calif., which produces remanufactured products such as starters and alternators, and repairs common rail diesel fuel injectors, has been combined with DENSO Sales California in Long Beach, Calif.

The new company’s services also will include navigation system repairs. There also are plans to add additional services in the future.

(The establishment of DENSO's aftermarket business headquarters for the Americas in Long Beach was announced on Oct. 31, 2012, at the Automotive Aftermarket Product Exhibition in Las Vegas. The former companies will remain in their current locations in Long Beach and Murrieta.)

“This change enhances our aftermarket operations in the Americas and is aligned with the global aftermarket growth plans we announced last year when we introduced DENSO’s Aftermarket Business Unit in Japan,” says Yoshihiko Yamada, president of DENSO Products and Services Americas.

"DENSO is dedicated to expand our sales and products for OES and aftermarket in the Americas. This organization change will allow us to develop and launch products more quickly for our customers in the region.”

Yamada has been president of DENSO Sales California and American Industrial Manufacturing Services since January 2008.
