DENSO Automotive Deutschland GmbH (DNDE)

Germany has it all—big cities, picture postcard small towns, harvest festivals, Christmas fairs, a wealth of art and culture, forests, castles, fine wine, beer and plenty of good food. And while Germany upholds and cherishes its cultural traditions (many hunters still wear green and master chimney sweeps wear pitch-black suits and top hats), it’s also one of the most modern and industrialized countries in Europe.

In 1984 DENSO Automotive Deutschland GmbH (DNDE) was established in Munich in the south of Germany/Bavaria.

In addition to the development of air conditioning for vehicles, sales of starters, alternators, sensors, emission control components and engine management system components, DNDE also houses extended testing facilities. As a matter of fact, this year DNDE began an expansion of its testing facilities. Once the expansion is finished, the testing facilities will have nine test chambers and benches as well as one wind tunnel.

DENSO Manufacturing Italia S.p.A. (DMIT)

The town of San Salvo, Italy, site of DENSO Manufacturing Italia S.p.A (DMIT), is situated on the top of a hill which leads to the Adriatic Sea. Its mild climate, natural beauty, blue seas, golden sands and culture and art make San Salvo one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in central Italy.

San Salvo owes its beginnings to the Benedictines who settled in the area in the second half of the 8th century, and you can get a sense of the area’s history if you visit the National Archeological Museum with its display of Roman and other artifacts.

Now, however, San Salvo means development ,progress and industrialization. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why DENSO decided to move into this area of the country. In April 1999, DENSO acquired an 80 percent share of Magneti Marelli S.p.A.'s Rotating Machines Division. That acquisition included DMIT, formerly called Magneti Marelli Manufacturing S.p.A.

DENSO Sales Sweden AB (DSSE)

In addition to being the home of DENSO Sales Sweden AB (DSSE), Gothenburg is Sweden’s second-largest city and a major commercial and industrial center. Gothenburg manufactures Hasselblad cameras, paper products, fabricated metal products, motor vehicles, processed food, mineral oils and refined petroleum. There are large shipyards and fisheries, two universities, museums and parks, one of the most modern opera houses and one of Sweden’s largest sports stadiums.

But you can also find a small-town atmosphere and green woods without having to travel too far from this industrialized city.

DSSE keeps its associates busy selling engine management systems, security systems, and electrical and electronic components as well as providing testing and development and application engineering for engine management systems.
