Communications; Electronics; <strong>Electric</strong> Wire & Cable, Energy; and Industrial Materials.<br />
<strong>Electric</strong> Wire &<br />
Cable, Energy<br />
Ever since its founding, the Group has contributed to the stable supply<br />
of energy in various fields with products such as electric power cables for<br />
electricity transmission and distribution, trolley wires for railways, and magnet<br />
wires used in home appliances, automobiles and other products. With the need<br />
for ever greater use of renewable energy and energy conservation, the Group<br />
is aggressively developing high-temperature superconducting cables and smart<br />
grid technology.<br />
Industrial Materials &<br />
Others<br />
The products of this segment consist of special steel wires that evolved from<br />
copper wire drawing technology and includes prestressed concrete steel, steel<br />
wires for springs, and steel tire cords. Other products include cemented carbide<br />
tools essential for machine processing, crystal boron nitride (CBN) and diamond<br />
cutting tools, sintered machine parts used in automotive and other industries.<br />
These products are based on the Group’s powder metallurgy and super highpressure<br />
press technologies derived from the development of cemented<br />
carbide for copper wire drawing dies. The <strong>Sumitomo</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Group’s advanced<br />
materials play an active role in a wide range of industries.<br />
