That was in 1939. Pull the history back up, and read further. http://www.bosch.co.jp/automotive/en/key_data/history.html Particularly, if you go here: http://www.bosch.co.jp/en/companies/index.html you'll find this: > In 1911 an initial agency contract in Japan was signed, and the first > repair workshop for Bosch products in Japan was established the > following year in Yokohama.

Close enough that if you want to find then on the web then you look at <bosch.co.jp>. Close enough that if you want to find any information on Diesel Kiki in the US then you get immediately referred to Bosch. Other lisencees, like Yanmar, support their stuff themselves.
