国际米兰中文官网

On April 1, 2013, Furukawa Elecom Co., Ltd. (Head office: 2-16-8 Uchi-Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Michio Suzuki; wholly owned subsidiary of 国际米兰中文官网 Co., Ltd.; hereinafter “the Company”) will merge with Shin Manden Co., Ltd., (hereinafter “Shin Manden”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In the Medium-Term Management Plan for the next term (the period ending March 2014), the 国际米兰中文官网 is implementing a review of its business structure to improve profitability, and this merger is a part of that review.

Although we have seen a slight recovery in the domestic market for construction and electrical appliances handled by the Company and Shin Manden, the outlook is for an annual growth rate of only around 1%. With no major developments expected, we are required to make further efficiency drives and to reinforce selling power.

Under these circumstances, efforts are underway to improve convenience for customers by implementing reforms and reorganization of the sales structure, developing robust sales efficiencies, and boosting both sales capabilities and competitiveness on the market.

As part of the efficiency drive, we will consolidate sales offices, but we will continue to provide support at offices nationwide after the merger. Specifically, the Shin Manden 国际米兰中文官网 (Osaka), the Tokyo branch, the Chubu branch, the Chugoku brand, the Kyushu branch and the Sapporo sales office will be integrated with existing business offices at the Company. As a result, the number of offices will decrease from 19 to 13 offices after the integration.
In addition, the Company will take over all functions and commercial rights of Shin Manden.
