MinebeaMitsumi to Participate in the 2017 Paris Air Show
MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. (MinebeaMitsumi) will participate in The 52nd Paris Air Show*1 scheduled for Monday, June 19 through Sunday, June 25, 2017 at Le Bourget Exhibition Centre in Paris, France to introduce MinebeaMitsumi Group’s global portfolio of aerospace products and solutions.
On Jan. 27, 2017, Minebea Co. Ltd., whose business focuses on machine processing such as bearings and electronic devices such as motors and sensors, etc., made Mitsumi Electric Co. Ltd., an electronic components manufacturer, a wholly-owned subsidiary to integrate our operations. We changed our company name to MinebeaMitsumi Inc. and embarked on a new start. This will be our first exhibition in the Paris Air Show as MinebeaMitsumi since this business integration. We will be exhibiting products of not only former Minebea and MITSUMI, but also from the Group sales companies in Europe (Germany, France, Italy)*2, the U.K. manufacturing subsidiary, NMB-Minebea UK Ltd. (Lincolnshire, U.K.), the North American manufacturing subsidiary, New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. (New Hampshire, USA. Hereinafter, NHBB), and German manufacturing operation, CEROBEAR GmbH (Herzogenrath, Germany), and appeal products and technologies that world-widely contribute to aircraft manufacturing industry as the MinebeaMitsumi Group.
MinebeaMitsumi Group is a one-of-a-kind bearing manufacturer which manufactures and provides such bearings products as rod-end bearings, spherical bearings and complex ball and roller bearings, etc. being used for aerospace industries at all of the three major aircraft markets in Europe, North America and Asia (Japan and Thailand)*3. In the circumstances where aircraft manufacturers have been accelerating their focus on the global purchasing strategies, MinebeaMitsumi Group is committed to strengthening its world-wide supply and delivery system to quickly respond to various needs and requests of our customers.
As a reference exhibit, we will also display a seatbelt sensor equipped with a battery-less wireless switch (under development) which enables to monitor passengers’ seatbelt state collectively on crew’s tablet. In addition, a proximity sensor which allows a lavatory waste bin-lid to open and close without having to touch it and its automatic open-close mechanism using a small sized motor power structure (under development) will be displayed. As a provider of Electro Mechanics Solutions™*4 which contributes to the IoT era, MinebeaMitsumi combines a broad range of advanced technologies—from high precision machine processing technologies such as bearings, to motors, sensors, semiconductors, and wireless technologies—to create new value with “difference” beyond the realm of common sense.
