June 9, 1987 marked the
birth of a new U.S. Corporation. Founded through the careful
guidance of its two principal companies, YUSA Corporation brought
with its inception, a level of state of the art technology
unparalleled in the Rubber industry.
At
the time of inception, YUSA Corporation was a product of a joint
venture agreement between the Yamashita Rubber Company of Iruma-gun,
Saitama Prefecture,
Japan and Lord
Corporation, headquartered in Raleigh/Durham North Carolina. The
venture enabled YUSA Corporation to take full advantage of the
technical expertise of the Yamashita Rubber Company while at the
same time gaining the recognition and endorsement of Lord
Corporation's highly regarded reputation in the international
automotive and aerospace markets. Yamashita Rubber specializes in
the production of control tubes, fuel lines, engine mountings,
bushings, hoses and other vibration dampening devices for the
automotive industry. Established in 1953 Yamashita now, operates
manufacturing facilities in Kamisato & Ano Japan as well as Ytec,
located in Srimahaphoe , Thailand , which commenced production
in 1997, and Santa Oliva, Spain started production in 2000.
Yamashita's newest venture is located in Zhongshan City, Guangdong,
China and started production in 2002. In 1997, the Yamashita
Rubber Company acquired full interest of YUSA Corporation, by
purchasing the outstanding shares held by its venture partner, Lord
Corporation, bringing a close to a long and beneficial relationship.
YUSA Corporation,
following in the footsteps of the Yamashita Rubber Company, has
become an industry leader in the manufacture of automotive rubber
components, specializing in engine mountings (conventional and
hydro), bushings, tubes and hoses. YUSA Corporation's commitment to
complete customer satisfaction has enabled the establishment of a
customer base to include Honda of America Mfg., Honda of Canada
Mfg., Mitsubishi Motors North America, General Motors Corporation,
Ford Motor Company and numerous others in the North American Market.
