「By integrating the products and technologies of both companies, the parties expect to contribute to technological innovation and the creation of new value across automotive doors, while enabling the provision of high-quality products and securing greater supply capacity. As one example from the technology and development perspective, the parties expect synergies such as function integration and shared development resources in developing electronic control technologies required for products supporting CASE and SDV, whose importance will continue to grow.」
The direction of advancing technological innovation across automotive doors, improving supply capacity and integrating electronic control technologies for CASE and SDV through the integration of products and technologies with Mitsui Kinzoku ACT Corporation has been made concrete. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「For window regulators, we will develop modular, packaged products that can flexibly respond to changes in vehicle production methods accompanying electrification. For system products, we will transform the business from product development into a “system supplier” capable of developing and producing complete systems that keep pace with changes in the environment surrounding vehicles and are combined with the ECU that serves as their brain.」
The Company specified the transition to modular and packaged products for electrification and to the development and production of complete systems combined with ECUs. In the medical field, it also reported the start of sales of artificial blood vessels, overseas approvals for microcatheters and other products, and completion of the design of a next-generation artificial heart. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「For guidewires, we reviewed the raw materials and processing technologies to significantly improve torque transmission and distal reachability, and established a water-repellent and antithrombotic coating technology to replace fluororesins, whose environmental impact is a concern. The technology received regulatory approval in Japan.」
For new product development in non-automotive fields, the Company progressed to reviewing the materials and processing technologies for guidewires, establishing a new coating technology and obtaining regulatory approval in Japan. In the automotive field, it is also advancing development toward the market introduction of power closure systems and other products. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「To respond to vehicle electrification and automated driving, we are also developing low-power, compact actuators and new products that combine them with controllers to control their operation.」
To respond to EVs and automated driving, the Company specified the development of new products combining low-power, compact actuators with controllers. In non-automotive fields, it also described expanding applications to medical, welfare, housing, marine and robotics markets. - FY2020Added electronic control and intelligent productsAnnual report
「We will optimize product materials and designs to achieve high quality at low cost, strengthen electronic control technologies and make products more intelligent, and quickly propose products with new value that exceeds customer expectations, delivering peace of mind and satisfaction to customers worldwide.」
In addition to the existing development of lightweight products, system products and products for non-automotive fields, the Company explicitly identified strengthening electronic control technologies and making products more intelligent as means of reinforcing development. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「We newly developed a bathing assistance device that reduces the burden of providing care and introduced it to the market ahead of schedule.」
For new product development in non-automotive fields, the Company reports the early market introduction of a bathing assistance device, the introduction of products related to artificial hearts, and progress in developing high-strength fiber materials and compact actuators. - FY2017First statedAnnual report
「In addition to reducing the weight of existing products by reviewing their materials and designs, we will propose new products that exceed customer expectations and deliver peace of mind and satisfaction to customers worldwide. We will also focus on developing system products such as power liftgates and electric parking brakes, as well as new products in non-automotive fields such as medical and housing-related equipment.」
In addition to reducing the weight of existing products, the Company identifies the development of new products such as power liftgates, electric parking brakes and medical and housing-related equipment as specific initiatives.
