The 30 largest Japanese company groups in Italy employ around 30,000 people across 85 companies in 2022, a 4% increase on 2021. This represents around two-thirds of the total number employed by Japanese companies in Italy.
Some of this growth was driven by acquisition – for example the Hitachi group of companies (the second largest Japanese employer in Italy) now includes Hitachi Energy, as a result of Hitachi’s acquisition of ABB’s power grids business. Yamaha Motor has also acquired Motori Minarelli.
The workforce of the largest Japanese employer in Italy, the NTT group of companies, has grown organically by 5.75% and Toyota Industries/Toyota Material Handling also has grown substantially.
Automotive related companies such as Denso, AGC and NSG (the latter two making automotive glass) have shrunk slightly but tyre manufacturer Bridgestone has grown. Other manufacturers such as Princes (foods company owned by Mitsubishi Corporation) and Ebara Pumps have cut back their workforce.
