Europe B.V. (DNEU)
Tulips, windmills, wooden shoes and
DENSO’s European headquarters. Those are just
a few of the things you can expect to find if you visit
the Netherlands.
DENSO Europe B.V. (DNEU) is located
in Weesp, an old fortified town on the rivers Vecht
and Small Weesp. In the 17th and 18th centuries, waterboats
would go to Weesp to get water from the Vecht and transport
it to Amsterdam to use for drinking water.
Established in 1973 with five associates, DNEU now has
225 associates working to support DENSO European companies,
as well as the sale of air conditioners, bus air conditioners
and transport refrigerators, compressors, starters,
alternators, spark plugs, robots and QR code scanners.

Manufacturing UK (DMUK)
DENSO Manufacturing UK (DMUK) is located in Shropshire,
a series of ancient, bustling market towns surrounded
by quiet countryside. Telford, Shropshire is one of
the United Kingdom’s fastest growing and most
successful new towns, so it was an appropriate location
for DENSO to establish one of its first European manufacturing
sites.
This year, DMUK celebrated its 10th
year of manufacturing air conditioning systems and heaters.
