Hi dude,I don't really know who bought out who. But I do know shinko electronic industries Co. Ltd is based in Japan and still supply European dealers with shinko controller that are made in Japan for older kobelco machines (-5 and-6). Newer European machines (-9 and-10) have sinfonia controllers in them. I wonder are European and American parts markets supplied by different companies. I think with some companies now days if you dig deep enough they are all owned by the same people. Can anyone clarify this for me
No one buys anyone! It just has changed the name from SHINKO to SINFONIA.
SINFONIA is a BIG GROUP! They own many subsidiaries.
One thing is very surprise. In the last time, SHINKO was a subsidiary of KOBE STEEL (owner of KOBELCO trademark).
