MHI to Expand Functions of MIES in Singapore
SHARE
Tokyo, July 2, 2012 - Effective October 1st Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) will launch a new company into which business development functions currently conducted at the company's subsidiaries in Singapore will be integrated. Plans call for MHI Industrial Engineering & Services Private Ltd. (MIES), a wholly owned local subsidiary, to take over operations of two other MHI subsidiaries in the city-state. In the move, MIES will be assigned new functions as a global business center to support expansion of MHI's global business operations by concentrating diverse information at the new company for sharing among its various business sectors.
The new company is being planned to perform a wide range of activities as a business development base for MHI's Shipbuilding & Ocean Development, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Systems, and Power Systems businesses. These will be in addition to various areas now handled by MIES: namely, EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) operations such as CO2 recovery systems, gas/oil production facilities and chemical plants, as well as business operations involving material handling and water treatment systems and equipment. Plans also call for the new company in the future to strengthen administrative and management functions, such as general affairs & personnel, material procurement, and accounting & finance, and to extend support to MHI group companies in the ASEAN and Oceania regions on those matters.
By those initiatives MHI looks to strengthen and accelerate its business development activities globally, including the ASEAN and Oceania regions.
Currently MIES is conducting aggressive marketing and business development activities in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The Singapore government has recognized these activities as a boon to promotion of the city-state's exports. Also, a project being handled by MIES was recently granted export (comprehensive) insurance by Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI). Together these events lent further support to the proposal to have MIES serve as the succeeding company in the integration.
MHI will work closely with the new company and fully support the development of its business.
