Brilliant Manufacturing Limited to be Renamed Nidec Brilliant Co., Ltd.


KYOTO, Japan, March 18, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Nidec Corporation (NYSE:NJ) today announced that it will change the name of one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brilliant Manufacturing Limited ("BML"), to Nidec Brilliant Co., Ltd. effective April 1, 2008.

In February 2007, Nidec acquired Singapore-based BML and its subsidiaries. Approximately a year after the acquisition, the companies are now contributing to the Nidec Group as base plate and top cover manufacturers for hard disk drives (HDD). As of April 1, 2008, BML and its primary subsidiaries will have "Nidec" at the beginning of their names to clearly express that they are Nidec Group companies.

The BML companies will, as Nidec Group companies, further expand their base plate and top cover production capabilities, and operate in step with Nidec Corporation's spindle motor business to create profitable synergies in the Group's production and sales activities.

The details of the name changes are as follows:
