Like most successful Japanese businesses around the world, DENSO Manufacturing Czech has stayed ahead of the competition by adopting the spirit of kaizen, or constant improvement.
Cost-effectiveness, customer satisfaction and up-to-date technology have also given DMCZ its competitive edge.
Since its establishment in the country in 2001, DMCZ has gained an impressive client portfolio
and now generates an annual turnover of more than €250 million.
Its largest customers include TPCA , Suzuki, VW, Škoda, Audi, BMW, DAG, GM, Ned Car and
Hyundai, all of which order their radiators, airconditioners and related products from the Japanese-owned subsidiary.
Aside from fostering strong ties with its clients, DMCZ has also invested heavily in cultivating relationships within the company and creating a healthy work environment.
“Employee satisfaction is most important to me. Employees are behind the growth and success of any company and we want to provide opportunities for personal development. We want each individual to have the feeling of achievement,” says DMCZ President Toshifumi Murayama.
“Through kaizen we can achieve our goals. We keep clear and open lines of communication between department heads, section managers and employees so that each day we are better than we were the day before. This is our constant team effort,” Murayama adds.
Situated in the industrial town of Liberec and employing around 1,700 people, DMCZ maximizes
its manpower through a combination of Czech and Polish nationals. Further strengthening its workforce, the company has also employed graduates from the nearby Technical University of Liberec.
“That is part of our vision to increase manpower in 2011 and boost production volume,” explains
Eiji Kuroda, DMCZ’s head of finance and business planning.
Having worked in several parts of the world, Murayama speaks highly of the Czech work ethic.
“Czech people have basic industrial knowledge and are sincerely hardworking. We have an excellent partnership and I positively believe in the future of DENSO in the Czech Republic,” he says.
DMCZ has obtained ISO TS 16949 and ISO 14001 certifications and is committed to reduce
resource and power consumption, minimize waste, and lessen water and air pollution.
