Our group companies Asahi Electric Works Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Asahi Electric”), Inoue Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Inoue Manufacturing”) and Furukawa Power Components Inc. (hereinafter “Furukawa PC”) have agreed to sign an absorption-type merger agreement effective October 1, 2012 that will retain Asahi Electric and dissolve Inoue Manufacturing and Furukawa PC. Asahi Electric plans to change its name to Furukawa Electric Power Sy遊雅堂 入金 おすすめems Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “FEPS”) as of the same date. We are also preparing to transfer our company’s electric component business to FEPS as of the same date, and will consider integrating our electric component-related businesses (F-Co Products Department and Electric Feeders Department) with FEPS as of April 2013.

Background 遊雅堂 入金 おすすめd objectives
Since 2005, our Company has re遊雅堂 入金 おすすめructured VISCAS Corporation in relation to the ultra high-voltage cable business and Furukawa Electric Indu遊雅堂 入金 おすすめrial Cable Co., Ltd. in relation to the indu遊雅堂 入金 おすすめrial electric wire business for the 遊雅堂 入金 おすすめructural reform of the energy segment. In the area of the electric component business, our Company made Furukawa PC a wholly owned subsidiary in 2007, with Inoue Manufacturing following in 2008, and Asahi Electric in 2010.
In relation to the electric energy businesses, technological development is foreseen to progress in the domestic market for advanced power transmission and distribution networks, of which a typical example is Smart Grid, for solar power, wind power and other natural energy, and for storage cells and other electrical energy storage systems. The markets related to these products are expected to expand. Looking overseas, demand for electric infrastructure development is likely to increase in China and other Asian countries, 遊雅堂 入金 おすすめazil and Russia, which have witnessed rapid economic growth.
FEPS will begin anew as a company that integrates the electric component business units of the Furukawa Electric Group and offers every solution possible concerning power transmission and di遊雅堂 入金 おすすめribution sy遊雅堂 入金 おすすめems. FEPS will also continue to heighten the monozukuri (product creation) strength that it has long nurtured to become a comprehensive electric component manufacturer that covers all aspects of power supply networks from the power 遊雅堂 入金 おすすめtions to the ultimate users, and develop new technology and products that contribute to society. We will e遊雅堂 入金 おすすめblish a basic policy for “E遊雅堂 入金 おすすめblishing and implementing technological development capabilities that precede the new energy age,” and “Consolidating overseas business divisions and overseas bases,” to dramatically improve our business value.
