Tokyo, November 30, 2011 - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has decided to transfer its mechatronics system product business of the Transportation System & Advanced Technology Division, such as the high-level control system and some general machinery, to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Mechatronics Systems, Ltd. (MHI-MS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MHI in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, effective April 1, 2012. The initiative aims to enhance efficiency of operation and strengthen the capability to respond to customers by establishing a structure to handle the entire process from installation of equipment to after-sale services by integrating the various functions into MHI-MS.
Concerning the mechatronics-system product business, MHI has been handling the new installations while MHI-MS has been providing after-sale service work, respectively. Each company has established a solid track record by handling a multitude of projects. However, as the domestic market matures, further strengthening of competitiveness and dynamic business development are required. Under these conditions, MHI decided to establish a structure capable of responding to changes in business circumstances by integrating functions such as marketing, design and construction for both new installations and after-sale services.
MHI-MS has been handling development, design, manufacturing and after-sale services for water treatment and dust collecting systems, urban development related products, toll-collection machinery and test/inspection systems. The company was established in October 2009 through the merger of five companies, all wholly-owned by MHI.
MHI will closely liaise with MHI-MS and fully support its business development.
