The first section contains info~mationon 260 automotive part and component assembly/manufacturing facilities. The second section presents information on 62 automotive material and capital tool facilities. Finally, section three contains background information on the eight U.S.-based, assembly and engine manufacturing facilities that have a Japanese interest. We gathered the information during the second quarter of 1991 by direct telephone and written contact. This directory includes only companies that we have directly contacted, so the actual number of manufacturing facilities having a Japanese investment interest is slightly higher than this directory indicates. Nevertheless, we feel the information presented accurately and realistically describes the inflow of Japanese direct investment into the U.S. supply base. Selected Highlights This section highlights general, summary statistics of this directory and additional information and insights we have gathered from other projects. Some of the 260 part and component supplier respondents were unable to answer some of our questions. However, this discussion is based on a substantial number of responses to each item and, in our judgement, represents an accurate description of this emerging part and component segment of the industry. Table 1 presents a profile of our Japanese Automotive Supplier Investment Directory Survey.

(See charts A and B, page vi.) Several factors have probably contributed to this slower growth. First, most Japanese assembly plants have reached planned production levels. This suggests that their supplier network objectives have been developed, and the mix between import and domestic sourcing has been established. Second, Japanese manufacturers may be responding to political pressure and changing their sourcing patterns to include more traditional domestic supplier capacity content. And third, the overall weak economic conditions of the last two years have made survival difficult for both the traditional supplier and the NAS. With the September 1991 ramp up of Toyota's compact pickup production at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI), all of the New American Manufacturers (NAMS~)have begun production on announced vehicle plans, Honda of America Manufacturing was the first NAM, of the NAMs still in production, to begin production in 1982. These NAMs, therefore, have a functioning supply base since they have produced vehicles for one to nine years. Therefore, except perhaps for the most recently established vehicle manufacturing activity-and future expansion of Toyota's Georgetown, KY operations-the window of opportunity for new suppliers-Japanese and American-is significantly limited, making it somewhat less attractive for Japanese suppliers to build new facilities in the United States. Beyond the expansion of current capacity or the manufacture of new models, sourcing opportunity exists only with a change of Japanese manufacturer corporate strategy and purchasing policy. Announced major increases in vehicle assembly capacity-such as Toyota's announced addition of 250,000 units at its Georgetown, KY assembly complex-and first tier engine and transmission production -such as Nissan's planned Decherd, TN engine plant-along with several other rumored expansions might open a new window of opportunity. However, much of this added assembly capacity will probably be supplied by Japanese suppliers already in place--either in North America or Japan. In fact, many present NASs have indicated intentions to fill this gap by expanding capacity. Nevertheless, business generated from new powertrain and vehicle control (such as suspension, steering, and brake) component facilities may offer the greatest opportunities for increased domestic sourcing, This domestic sourcing may arise through increased direct foreign investment or traditional domestic supplier contracts. We mention this because of the need to be concerned with profit repatriation, traditional domestic supplier capacity utilization, and regional economic impacts. NAM strategies have relied heavily on the traditional Japanese supply base for critical components. This may account for their reluctance to produce engines

    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

I joined MC in 1971 and was consistently involved with our machinery businesses, particularly ship-related business, from the early days of my career through the middle stages up to my promotion to division COO. From 2001, I resided in Singapore, the key hub for information in Asia, as general manager of our Singapore Branch, and witnessed firsthand the dynamism of the Asian economy, particularly the rapid growth of the Chinese economy. Following my appointment in 2007 as an executive vice president, I focused on creating a new business model of shosha-type industrial finance as CEO of the Industrial Finance, Logistics & Development Group under the guidance of our former president Yorihiko Kojima. Sogo-shosha have long used financing as a tool in their business activities. 1 Top Message However, under this business model we began to target Strengthening the Management Base, financing as a future nucleus of MC’s overall operations by Developing Future Growth Drivers coordinating and cooperating with internal departments.

  • Mitsubishi Materials Corp
    NEWS RELEASE Apr 14, 2021 R&I Affirms A-, Stable: Mitsubishi Materials Corp. Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has announced the following: ISSUER: Mitsubishi Materials Corp. Issuer Rating: A-, Affirmed Rating Outlook: Stable RATIONALE: Mitsubishi Materials Corp. (MMC) is a major non-ferrous materials company that develops a full range of businesses including the manufacture of materials such as metals and cement, as well as the processing of materials that offers copper & copper alloy, electronic materials & components, and cemented carbide products. The company as a whole has a relatively robust earnings base, partly because it offers many products through the integrated production system among group companies that encompasses upstream to downstream processes. MMC has well-diversified earnings sources. However, the earnings are susceptible to changes in the economic situation, market conditions, raw material prices and foreign exchange rates, because MMC's offerings are mainly capital goods. The company had to see a decline in earnings affected partly by decreased automobile production in the first half of 2020 in addition to the global economy having slowed down since 2019. From the second half of 2020 onward, its earning capacity is beginning to show an upward trend buoyed by a rise in metal prices and a clear trend toward product demand recovery but is still not satisfactory for the rating. While transferring the unprofitable sintered parts business, MMC is promoting its business structure improvement including acquisition of stakes in copper mines and restructuring of its cutting tools subsidiary, investment in a company engaged in the tungsten business, etc. in Vietnam.

IwayaNakamachi 4-chome,Nada, Hyogo,657,Japan Abstract Considering from a point of view of the recycling of resources that melting fly ash produced by melting the fly ash and incineration residue discharged from incinerators of municipal refuse is useful resources of concentrated heavy metals, this paper presents acid extraction processes developed for using the useful heavy metals and salts produced from the fly ash and melting fly ash as the resources. This paper reports the acid extraction processes from the fly ash in terms of the operational results of AES Processes operated at present and the problems to be solved in the future. This paper also reports the application of the acid extraction processes to the melting fly ash in terms of the description of the separating recovery process of heavy metals operated at present in a bench scale, the experimental results and the problems to be solved in the future. 1. INTRODUCTION Approximately 50 million tons of the municipal refuse is discharged every year in Japan and 78% of it is incinerated. The bottom ash and the fly ash are produced as the incineration residue in the incinerators and the fly ash containing low-boiling heavy metals are treated and landfilled by any of four techniques (melting-solidification, cementing-solidification, chemical stabilization and acid extraction) designated for "Specially Controlled Municipal Wastes" by "the Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Law".
