Calsonic Kansei Corporation (カルソニックカンセイ株式会社 Calsonic Kansei Kabushiki-gaisha?) is a large Japanese automotive company which has 50 manufacturing centers in the United States, Poland, South Korea, Mexico, Romania, Thailand, UK, South Africa, India, Spain, China, France and Malaysia.
The corporation was the result of a merger between Calsonic, which specialized in air conditioners and heat exchangers, and gauge maker Kansei in 1999. Nissan increased its shareholding in the company from 27.6 percent to 41.7 percent in January 2005. In November 2016, Nissan confirmed plans to sell its stake to U.S. private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, who intend to buy the rest in February 2017. Nissan is responsible for 80% of annual sales.
