Will help to strengthen company’s growing foothold in global
satellite market
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it has
completed construction of a facility that will double the satellite
component production capacity of its Kamakura Works’ Sagami Factory in
Sagamihara, Japan. The new facility, Mitsubishi Electric’s core
production and testing site for solar array panels, structural panels
and other satellite components, is expected to help grow Mitsubishi
Electric’s share of the global satellite market once production starts
this October.
Mitsubishi Electric is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of
satellite components, most notably structures made with advanced
composite materials for the global market. The company has a rich
history of providing global satellite manufacturers with solar array
panels, structural panels and antennas produced at its Kamakura Works.
Over the years, Mitsubishi Electric has developed a substantial share of
this market.
The new facility will introduce a number of advanced manufacturing
machines, such as high-precision machining equipment and automated
welding machines, which will help the factory to double its production
capacity. Existing machines currently dispersed throughout the factory
will be concentrated in the new facility. The realization of seamlessly
integrated production processes — from component and panel production to
final testing — will further increase production efficiency, shorten
production time, reduce costs and elevate product quality. This advanced
new facility is expected to strengthen Mitsubishi Electric’s flexibility
and speed in adapting to global market demands.
