Will help to strengthen company’s growing
foothold in global satellite market
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.
