The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.三菱長崎機工 was selected because it is the only company in Japan capable of manufacturing ring rolling mills in the more-than-5-m class, has the engineering capabilities to optimize designs from the design stage in response to customer requirements, and maintains a high level of quality control. The equipment installation is part of an initiative selected under a JAXA public call for proposals, and is also intended to strengthen Japan's domestic supply chain in space-related fields.
