Takaya Sugimura Appointed President of Yushin America, Steering Next Phase of Growth

Takaya Sugimura has been named the new president of robot maker Yushin America Inc. (YAI), succeeding Michiari Ota after his five‑year tenure.

With an economics degree from Kansai University, Sugimura launched his career in 1993 as an accountant at Nidec Corp., one of Japan’s leading motor manufacturers. He joined Yushin’s accounting group in 1996, overseeing the successful public listing of YPE on the Osaka Stock Exchange that same year.

From 2008 to 2012 he served as YAI’s controller and later CFO in the United States, steering the company through the Great Recession and sustaining steady growth through 2017. Returning to Yushin Japan headquarters, he headed the Internal Audit Office, cementing his reputation as a strategic leader across the Yushin Group.

At a company‑wide meeting, Sugimura—colloquially “Gus” among YAI colleagues—announced his readiness for the role, stating, “To achieve higher goals or solve complex problems, we must unite our talent around a shared knowledge base. Two heads are better than one. We will continue expanding and refining our products and services to enhance the customer experience.”
