Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) will establish an overseas incorporated entity and construct a new plant in Brazil. Previously, SHI has established plants for its power transmission business in three locations in Japan, three locations in China, one location in Vietnam, one location in Germany, and one location in the US. The medium to large scale power transmission equipment to be manufactured at the new plant has a wide variety of uses in products and areas such as cranes of all sizes, cement and coal milling facilities, power plants, and elevators. By establishing an overseas incorporated company in Brazil, SHI plans to become a stable supplier of power transmission equipment, increase sales in the country as well as neighboring countries, and ultimately expand its business presence in the region.
