Yamaha Motor completes first carbon neutral factory

Yamaha Motor Co has officially celebrated the completion of renovation and expansion work at its Hamamatsu Robotics Office.

The centre develops, manufactures, and sells surface mounters and industrial robots.

The renovation and expansion work began in January 2023 and has achieved 1.6 times increase in the total floor area of the office buildings and 1.8 times expansion in production area.

As a result, the production capacity for surface mounters will be doubled.

Additionally, with the installation of additional solar panels in the expanded area, the conversion of the entire facility, including the cafeteria, to electric power, and the introduction of CO₂-free electricity starting in 2022, will make it the company’s first carbon neutral factory.

Yamaha’s Robotics Business was started in 1984 as the IM Division. The centre now employs around 1,900 personnel.

The expansion of the centre through the expansion and renovation is part of the company’s investment in growing businesses under its medium-term management plan (2022-2024).

Yamaha Motor is planning to further enhance its customer-oriented systems for technology, sales, and services and work towards reinforcing profitability by expanding the scale and business area in a growing market.
