Aisin Electronics Illinois, LLC is a company in the AISIN Group, which is composed of twenty-five (25) companies in North America. Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd., the AISIN Group's parent Company, is one of the largest automotive component manufacturers in the world. Their product line deals not only in automotive components, but also ranges from home appliances to industrial machinery. The home office is located in Kariya City, Japan, about 20 miles southeast of Nagoya.
Aisin Holdings of America Inc. manages the United States subsidiaries, including the control of operations, sales and finance.

Mfg. Inc., and its subsidiary Aisin Mfg. Illinois, LLC, and others.
The Aisin name first became familiar to our area with the groundbreaking ceremony at Aisin Mfg. Illinois, which took place in October 2001. This was the first Aisin plant in Illinois, which focuses on the assembly of sunroofs, power slide door modules, and door locks.
Aisin then continued their expansion when they broke ground on their second plant, Aisin Light Metals (LLC), in October 2003. Aisin Light Metals' products include bumper reinforcements and ABS bodies.
With the groundbreaking of Aisin Electronics Illinois, LLC in July 2004, Aisin Electronics Illinois, LLC became the third Aisin plant located in our community. The Aisin Electronics Illinois, LLC facility began full operations in August 2005.
In January 2006 AEIL installed a new mounting line (AS003), which will produce several new product ECUs. This is the first line that has been specified and purchased using AEIL Engineering resources. We are planning to mount both bottom and topside components using just one line until the customer demand merits additional equipment. Trial activities are underway assuring capability and quality requirements of our customer will be met.
In March 2006 a new assembly line (AS1003) was installed. The same parts that flow through our new mounting line will then flow through this assembly line.
The addition of new equipment will not only enhance customer service but it will benefit our current team members by opening up advancement opportunities and create new job openings for Southern Illinois.
