JATCO supports the sustainable development of society through monozukuri activities that contribute to the environment and society.
We aim to be the No. 1 manufacturer of automatic transmissions in the world and to continue being a corporation that is well loved by society.

As a manufacturer specializing in automatic transmissions (ATs) for automobiles, JATCO has provided the world with numerous innovative products throughout the history of the company. Of these, JATCO has the top share of the global market in the area of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), and offers a full lineup of products that cover a wide range of automobiles, from mini vehicles to large passenger vehicles.

Automatic transmissions, in particular, CVTs, are certain to play an increasingly important role in bringing about the realization of clean and fuel-efficient cars. The key for monozukuri companies to solving social problems lies in their technological prowess. To date, JATCO has been turning its pioneering technologies for reducing CO2 emissions into products, and in order to further reduce our impact on the environment, we released our newly developed Jatco CVT-S to the world in March 2019, and are continuing the research and technology development of our e-Axles and transmissions for electrified vehicles. It is our duty to provide innovative products characteristic of JATCO, by refining our technological capabilities and anticipating the needs of our customers.

In order to continue achieving further growth in the expanding automotive market going forward, JATCO has established the goal of becoming No. 1 in the world. However, this is not merely a numerical goal. Rather, we aim to be a No. 1 company with real substance—one where all employees work with enthusiasm and everyone around the world recognizes and is glad for JATCO’s presence and would like to work there.

We have expanded our business worldwide—in addition to our development and production bases in Japan, we have development bases in Korea, the United States, France, Russia, and Spain, as well as production bases in Mexico, China, and Thailand. The history, culture, and ways of thinking differ in each region, and so what is expected of a good citizen differs as well. Nevertheless, JATCO wishes to continue being a company that local residents can love and be glad about its presence in their community.

Corporations shoulder the immense social responsibility of providing employment, while environmental conservation activities such as green procurement and energy and resource conservation are also of great importance. Companies must additionally never neglect to show consideration for local residents, such as by ensuring safety and by caring for the environment in the areas around production plants. JATCO also aims to continue contributing to society in line with the needs of each country and region, through efforts such as cleanup activities, tree planting, and support for raising children. At the same time, we will continue to further enhance the company’s support systems for employee activities.

A large number of outstanding personnel are employed at JATCO. When each individual employee acts with the desire to fulfill a useful role in the world, the good corporate citizen aspect of JATCO begins to become apparent. Our goal is for each employee to demonstrate their leadership ability, consider the perspective of our customers, and prevail on the global stage through technological prowess.

We will continue to be a company where such employees work dynamically as a united team. This connects to our mission “to provide value to our customers, to automotive culture, and to society,” and it reflects the character of JATCO’s monozukuri that aims for the proper growth of the company as a good corporate citizen.
