TOKYO — Aisin Corporation (TSE: 7259; KRX: 005990), led by President and CEO Yoshida Masatoki, announced on February 19, 2026, its new medium-term business plan aimed at achieving sustainable growth beyond 2030. The company's strategy is centered around enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and broad product lineup to transform itself into a leading creator of value in mobility solutions.
The key highlights of the "Aisin Medium-Term Business Plan 2028" include setting targets for operating income of ¥330 billion and an operating margin of 6.2%, as well as a targeted return on equity (ROE) of 10%. To achieve these goals, Aisin will focus on strengthening the profitability of core products while investing in future technologies such as electrification and artificial intelligence (AI). Total investment over the next five years is projected to be ¥4.5 trillion, which includes not only technological advancements but also investments in human capital development.
In reviewing the previous 2025 mid-term business plan, Aisin noted significant progress in building a resilient business foundation through enhanced powertrain unit offerings and efficient global production facilities. Structural reforms have also contributed to cost savings and successful execution of growth investments, shareholder returns, and other strategic initiatives. Building upon this success, the 2028 plan aims to further solidify Aisin’s market position by focusing on three main areas: product diversification, regional expansion, and functional enhancements.
For product diversification, Aisin plans to expand its lineup of electric vehicle (EV) components, including eAxles and integrated electric units like Xin1. Additionally, the company will accelerate the development of advanced body structures and braking systems that contribute to improved fuel efficiency and safety features. In the realm of autonomous driving technology, Aisin intends to integrate sensing and monitoring systems within vehicles to enhance passenger comfort and safety.
Regarding regional expansion, Aisin will prioritize increasing local production capacity in regions such as North America and India, where it can leverage partnerships to strengthen its revenue base. Meanwhile, in markets like Southeast Asia, Europe, and China, Aisin will tailor its approach based on regional characteristics to bolster competitive advantages.
Functionally, Aisin seeks to improve its global management structure and governance practices to enhance decision-making quality and speed. By implementing logistics improvements, boosting factory productivity, and reinforcing digital infrastructure, Aisin aims to create a robust profit model. Furthermore, the company plans to intensify AI and digital transformation (DX) efforts across all functions from research and development to software engineering recruitment and training, ensuring continuous innovation and value creation.
Through these comprehensive strategies, Aisin expects to reach sales of ¥5.3 trillion and maintain an ROIC of 11% alongside its financial objectives. Non-financial goals encompass environmental sustainability, providing freedom of movement globally, promoting diverse talent, and establishing a stable corporate framework. These commitments reflect Aisin's dedication to both economic performance and social responsibility.
