In 1934, it began producing bicycle components for Fuji Heavy Industries, which became part of Subaru Corporation after World War II. Its first product for consumers was a three-speed bicycle hub. The company changed its name to Shimano Incorporated in 1949. It started exporting products to the United States in 1965 and to Europe in 1971.
