Issues Being Tackled in Fiscal 2013
Concerning wire rods and magnet wires, we are focusing on
expanding sales in the growing Asian market.
We are also aiming to increase sales and boost
production capacity in the automotive-related field, including
scratch-resistant magnet wires for use in the motors of ecofriendly
vehicles and the metal porous material Celmet used
as the electrode material in batteries.
J-Power Systems Corporation, an affiliate accounted for
by the equity method, is seeking to capture energy infrastructure
demand in the Middle East, taking advantage of its base in Saudi
Arabia, as well as global demand for high-voltage power cables
in conjunction with its base in India.
Subsidiary Sumitomo Densetsu Co., Ltd. is looking
to expand and strengthen its overseas business in regions
such as Southeast Asia, and is also aggressively developing its
environmental business including energy-saving assessments.
We are focusing on expanding sales of products related
to energy supply, such as low-loss power transmission cables,
high-temperature superconducting wire, and power conditioners
(devices to convert DC current into AC current), which
contribute to the proactive use of renewable energy and help
enhance energy efficiency.
Strategic Topics
Establishment of Manufacturing Base for Copper Wire
Rods, Drawn Wires and Aluminum Bars
In April 2012, SEI Thai Electric Conductor Co., Ltd. (STEC) was established
in Rayong, Thailand to be engaged in the manufacturing and sale of copper
wire rods, drawn wires, and aluminum bars. STEC will become the largest
manufacturing plant for copper wire rods and drawn wires in the Southeast
Asian region. While meeting demand from Group companies, it will
aggressively market these products to customers outside of the Group.
The company is also due to manufacture aluminum bars, base
material to be cut into valve components of automatic transmissions used
in automobiles in order to quickly meeting growing demand in this area.
