Showa Corporation (株式会社ショーワ Kabushiki-kaisha Showa?) (TYO: 7274) is a manufacturer of high-performance automotive, motorcycle and outboard suspension systems based in Gyoda, Saitama in Japan.

The company was founded in 1938 as Showa Aircraft Precision Works.[1] In Japan's drive to develop its military capability in preparation for World War II, Showa supplied aircraft suspension and landing systems to various aircraft manufacturers.[citation needed] Banned from developing or manufacturing aircraft systems after the war, Showa entered the car components industry, using its aircraft knowledge to develop specialist suspension solutions for motorcycles made by the new company Honda. The relationship between Showa and Honda developed over the years, with Honda Racing Corporation accounting for more than 50% of Showa's business.[citation needed]

Showa has overseas facilities in United States, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Wales, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, India, China, Vietnam and soon to open a facility in Mexico expected in mid 2015.

Showa was IndyCar Series damper, springs and suspension supplier from 2007 to 2011.
