"Where Performance Meets Reliability"
US subsidiary (est. 1995) of Japan SANYO DENKI; supplies San Ace cooling fans, SANMOTION servo/stepper motors, and SANUPS UPS for industrial automation.
SANYO DENKI AMERICA, INC. is the North American subsidiary of SANYO DENKI CO., LTD. (Japan), incorporated in April 1995 and headquartered at 468 Amapola Avenue, Torrance, CA 90501. As of 2025, the subsidiary employs 107 staff and is led by President/CEO/CFO Hisashi Takahata.
The company's portfolio covers three product lines sold under distinct sub-brands. San Ace is SANYO DENKI's cooling fan line, spanning DC and AC/ACDC (EC) fans in standard sizes from 25 mm to 280 mm. Product highlights include the San Ace 80 × 80 × 38 mm long-life fan with the highest static pressure in its class (announced June 2025) and a new 40 × 40 mm DC fan series with the lowest noise in-class (May 2026). SANMOTION is the motion control line encompassing AC servo systems (G, R, S, and linear servo variants), DC servo systems (T, K reduced-cogging), 5-phase and 2-phase stepping systems (F5, F2, F3, PB closed-loop), and motion controllers (C S100/S200/S300/S500). In August 2025, the SANMOTION G servo system was certified for Universal Robots MotionPlus, enabling direct integration with UR collaborative robots. The SANMOTION C S300 motion controller, announced November 2025, features high performance, scalability, and enhanced cybersecurity. SANUPS is the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) line for mission-critical applications.
