History

ZAMA was founded on September 1st, 1952 as Shinagawa Die-Casting Co. Ltd. in Shinagawa City Tokyo, Japan by Mr. Jiro Kato.

With 20 employees, ZAMA primarily focused on producing automobile parts for local customers.

In 1962 the company was moved to Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture near Yokohama, Japan which was the base for the later name of the company.

1975, ZAMA started carburetor production under ZAMA brand with approximately 200 employees.

1989, having 400 employees, ZAMA opened production facilities in Hong Kong and Morioka, Northern Japan, to meet capacity demands.

1990, an engineering and sales facility in Franklin (TN) was founded to serve our US customers.

1991, Another production facility with 450 employees in Shenzhen, China was established and major parts of the Hong Kong facilities were moved

Growing fast with the new location structure, in 2003 ZAMA invested in production depth and also added chain-lubrication systems to its product portfolio.

In the years until 2004, ZAMA China moved 3 times into bigger buildings to follow the customer demand for high quality carburetors.

2005 Mr. Jiro Kato started retirement plans and decided, that ZAMA had reached a suitable size.

ZAMA which had reached close to 2,000 employees consolidated all China locations into one factory building in Shenzhen - Xili and focused on continuous improvements of cost and quality rather than growth.

2008 Mr. Kato sold ZAMA to its biggest customer, the ANDREAS STIHL AG & CO KG.

With the process of integration into STIHL, ZAMA gained access to STIHL‘s advanced technology.

2012 ZAMA started the development of electronic carburetors and components for electronic fuel injection.

2013 the former licensed production site in Shenzhen became the fully ZAMA owned Guangdong ZAMA precision industries Co. Ltd.

With the lease term of its only production site ending, ZAMA had to restructure.

2014 ZAMA founded and began construction of ZAMA Precision Industry Manufacturing Phil. Inc., in Batangas, Philippines, which started production successfully in April 2016.

2016 ZAMA founded and began construction of ZAMA Precision Industries (Huizhou) Ltd. in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, P.R. CHINA, and moved all equipment and many employees to there. The move completed in June 2018.
