Team Shimano
Welcome to the world of Shimano. Our main goal in life and business is to help people get closer to nature through the cycling activities they enjoy most.
Team Shimano is comprised of people all over the world, working together to fulfill a dream in which more people ride bikes, and the bikes they ride shift better, brake better and perform better overall.
There are as many ways to enjoy cycling as there are people on bikes and we have devoted our resources to meeting as many of those individual riding needs as possible, creating the widest range of high quality bicycle components in the world.

Daiwa's first spinning reel rolled off the assembly line in 1955. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest and most influential tackle companies in the world today.
To handle sales and distribution in the United States, Daiwa Corporation first opened its doors on September 26, 1966, operating from a small facility in Culver City, California. Today, based in Cypress, California, Daiwa Corporation sells tackle throughout the United States, Canada, Central and South America.
From the very beginning, Daiwa's emphasis has been upon innovation and quality. The result is a long list of product features, design and materials that have become standards for the fishing tackle industry. It is a long-standing record of innovation, the type of innovation that has left a visible mark on the majority of tackle manufactured today, innovation that continues to advance the sport of fishing.
