NIDEC-SHIMPO has a long history within the Ceramic Arts world going back to the 1950's.
The SHIMPO wheel has become one of the most respected and recognized tools of the pottery trade and, for potters across the globe, the SHIMPO name has become synonymous with quality and performance.
As NIDEC-SHIMPO became more entrenched within the ceramics arts world, they began to develop other related products that supported pottery production. NIDEC-SHIMPO now offers a large range of products that help studios and classrooms with all aspects of production and/or training. After NIDEC acquired their company in the mid-1990's, they gained more expertise in motor design and were able to leverage NIDEC's large volume motor manufacturing capabilities. Due to the advancement, the motors and drives systems for their pottery wheels have always outpaced the competition in terms of quality, performance, and overall value.
