MHI to add gear cutting at Chinese rubber machinery factory

ERJ staff report (DS)

Tokyo, Japan -- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) is planning to launch production of gear cutting machines in China at an existing local production base for the company's rubber tyre machinery.

The new facility will serve both for production of gear manufacturing equipment and for expanded production of rubber tyre machinery. Adoption of this "shared factory" scheme will enable the company's gear machinery business to launch local production swiftly and cost-effectively.

MHI sees production of gear manufacturing equipment at CRM as a pilot case of its shared factory scheme. Going forward the company intends to apply the scheme to promote further enhancement and expansion of its overseas production plants.
