HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of electric wire business spun off from Sumitomo family’s rolled copper business.Core company of Sumitomo Group. World’s No.3 maker of wire harnesses for automobiles, and 4th ranked player in telecom infrastructure products including optical fiber.  Developing businesses expressed by three keywords of infrastructure (basic to society), mobility (facilitating information & product movement), and interface (linking differing items).  Special Metals turned into 100%-owned sub in Aug 2007 to strengthen automobile-related fields.  Planning to transfer automobile-relate brakes business to Aishin Seiki. Enhancing overseas plants, including Vietnam plant.
