Yuasa Corporation
 PROFILE
Yuasa is one of the world's largest manufacturers of storage batteries and related products, including batteries for the automotive (cars and motorcycles), industrial (motive and industrial power), and consumer (cellular phones, palmtop computers) markets. Non-automotive batteries, power supplies, and rectifiers account for over 80% of sales. The company continues to add more power to its batteries and to make them smaller; it makes a rechargeable lithium polymer battery only 2mm thick. Yuasa has subsidiaries worldwide. In 2000 it sold part of US-based Yuasa, Inc. to management and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter because of Japan/US battery market differences. Japan accounts for about 55% of Yuasa's sales.
