In 1978, the two companies formed the Woojin Yokogawa Engineering joint venture. This was renamed Yokogawa Electric Korea in 1983 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Yokogawa in April 1998. In 2012, Yokogawa Instruments Korea, a measuring instrument sales company that had been established in 1991 through the acquisition of a Yokogawa distributor, was merged into Yokogawa Electric Korea. The company’s operations have grown to the point where it is able to take on large-scale projects. In 2002, it spun off its production operations to form Yokogawa Electronics Manufacturing Korea Co., Ltd., which presently functions as Yokogawa’s central production organization in Korea for temperature controllers, PLCs, and other types of products. CISIn the 1960s, Yokogawa started doing business in Russia via a trading company and a plant manufacturer. Following the dissolution of the Soviet In 1974, Yokogawa established its first manufacturing company outside Japan, Yokogawa Electric Singapore Pte. Ltd., and began manufacturing meters there the following year. This company’s factory received great praise throughout the region due to its excellent quality control and manufacturing technology, and it was referred to as a model factory by the Singapore Economic Development Board. Operations were expanded there in 1975 with the establishment of a sales and service company, and the establishment of an engineering company in 1986. In 1988, these two companies merged, and this organization was then integrated with the manufacturing operations of Yokogawa Electric Singapore in 1990 to form Yokogawa Electric Asia Pte. Ltd., thereby bringing manufacturing, order processing, engineering, and services under the same roof. In 1997, Yokogawa Electric Asia’s sales, engineering, and service functions were transferred to the newly established Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd. Functioning as the ASEAN headquarters, Yokogawa Engineering Asia oversaw the establishment of sales and service offices and the development of Yokogawa’s business throughout this region. In 2004, certain of Yokogawa Electric’s development functions were transferred to the Singapore Development Center, which had been established to develop control system application software. Yokogawa’s Singapore operations went on to play an even more central role in 2005 when Yokogawa Electric International Pte. Ltd. was established to oversee the entire non-Japan control business. Yokogawa Electric Asia subsequently established production operations in Indonesia, and today plays an important role in the production of Yokogawa’s core products, including the flagship CENTUM integrated production control system.Union and the formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Yokogawa’s interest in this expanding market continued to grow. In 1993, the company opened a representative office in Moscow, and in 1997 Yokogawa Electric Limited was established to handle sales, engineering, and services. Reflecting the importance of this market, which continues to grow due to the abundance of natural resources, the letters CIS were added to the company name in 2005. Subsidiaries were established in Kazakhstan and the Ukraine, branch offices and technical centers were established in various CIS countries, and strong relationships have been built up with leading global energy companies.IndiaYokogawa launched manufacturing operations through the formation of Yokogawa Keonics Ltd., a joint venture with the Yokogawa distributor Blue Star and the Karnataka state-owned company Keonics in 1987. One year following the dissolution of this joint venture in 2003, Yokogawa India Ltd. was established with the aim of building strong relationships with customers in core industries such as oil, petrochemicals, and electric power. In 1994, Yokogawa Corporation of America（U.S.）In 1957, Yokogawa established Yokogawa Electric Works, Inc. in New York. This was a major step forward for the company as it was Yokogawa’s first subsidiary outside Japan, and it was entering the technologically advanced U.S. market. Yokogawa worked to establish its presence in this market by, for example, exhibiting its products at the ISA Show in 1958. This was the company’s first time at this globally renowned measurement and control event. In 1968, Yokogawa Electric Works was renamed YEWTEC Corporation in order to strengthen the impression that it was a technology company, and in 1975 it became Yokogawa Corporation of America in order to emphasize its status as a subsidiary. In addition to helping to increase our sales and strengthen our services in the U.S. market, the company launched knockdown production of flowmeters and recorders at a plant in the Atlanta suburbs in 1980. While these products were gaining acceptance in this market, the conclusion was reached that a strong partner would be needed in order to fully develop the systems product business in North America, which was the home of the automation business and a stronghold of veteran control businesses. In 1989, Yokogawa established a North American industrial automation joint venture with Johnson Controls, an influential automation company in the commercial air conditioning field. However, this joint venture was dissolved in 1997 due to differences in management policies and corporate cultures and Yokogawa was once again working on its own to advance in the North American market.With the growing market recognition of the Yokogawa name thanks to the company’s achievements with major oil companies, Yokogawa Corporation of America established an engineering center in the energy hub of Houston in 2002, and moved its headquarters there in 2010. Currently, the company has subsidiaries in Canada and Mexico, and is planning to expand its business by targeting opportunities in areas such as offshore and shale oil and gas field development.an engineering center was established, and this is playing a key role in supplying the Yokogawa Group with engineering resources.
