Future Operation Policy and Investment Plan
With respect to our industrial motor business, in September 2010, we acquired Nidec Motor Corporation (formerly, Emerson Motors & Controls) and have strived to continually strengthen this business. In the future, we intend to realize the fullest effect of synergies with the Acquired Business, ASI, (in technology, production and sales), which has strength in Metals, Energy & Renewables, Oil & Gas, Marine, & General Industry sectors. We also intend to respond to a wide variety of customer needs by adding to our current product portfolio the Acquired Business’s large industrial motors, generators, low and medium voltage drives and industrial systems and automation, laying a foundation for Nidec to position itself in the market as a solution provider with a full range of industrial rotating equipment and automation products & services. Moreover, Nidec seeks to expand its business outside of the core applications of its products, which are currently in water and waste water, to metals, energy, and oil and gas, marine, & general industry where ASI has strong market positions, and seek further growth in our industrial business.
