milan米兰体育官方网站 Power Systems Co., Ltd.

milan米兰体育官方网站's Furukawa Electric Power Systems Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Michio Okuno; hereafter “FEPS”) will consolidate its manufacturing hub in the People's Republic of China.

By doing so, FEPS will be increasing our efficiency even more by bypassing Japan and focusing directly on our overseas sales (out-out business).

Background

milan米兰体育官方网站s(note 1)are mainly used to conduct electricity in production plants and large-scale facilities. In recent years, because of Japanese plants relocating overseas or plants in emerging nations being enhanced, there is a shift in China and Southeast Asia to stronger demand. Furukawa Dengyo (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China; hereafter, “Furukawa Dengyo”) is expanding the milan米兰体育官方网站 business in China and overseas, but stiffer competition and rapid globalization have made further improvements to efficiency necessary.

Summary

FEPS has decided to consolidate Furukawa Dengyo with Tianjin Furukawa Power Component Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China) in October of this year.

This will result in the enhanced efficiency of the milan米兰体育官方网站, as well as the delivery of materials for plant construction of Japanese businesses in the Republic of Indonesia, so FEPS will also focus on exporting from China.
