History

Ichikoh resulted from the 1967 partnership and 1968 merger of two companies: 2=株式会社白光舎, founded in June 1903 as a manufacturer of signal lamps, and 2=市川製作所, founded in April 1916 as an auto parts manufacturer. In 1987, the company launched an American branch, Ichikoh Manufacturing, Inc., in Kentucky, which was liquidated in 2007.
In 2000, Ichikoh entered a partnership with French auto parts maker Valeo, with a plant in Foshan, China opening in 2006 as a joint venture between the two companies.
Ichikoh became a subsidiary of Valeo in 2017, and its mirror manufacturing operations were spun off in 2023.
