Strategy

KYB Corporation follows an organic growth strategy. The company aims to increase its market dominance in the aftermarket segment, which is the company’s stronghold. KYB Corporation also aims to get leaner as an organization through the streamlining of multiple business processes in a singular region. To this effect, the company merged its wholly-owned subsidiaries in China in 2015 and began the contemplation of restructuring its business in Japan. Hydraulic Component (HC) form about 60% of the group’s revenue and the company aims to diversify its revenue streams to weather upcoming market changes
