Ube Machinery Shanghai: Shanghai Plant Launched


On April 26 the opening ceremony was held at the new production site of Ube Machinery (Shanghai), Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ube Machinery.

In June 2001 Ube Machinery (Shanghai) was established in the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, where it imports and sells manufacturing equipment such as die-casting machines, injection molding machines, extrusion presses, and vertical mills, in addition to providing after-sales service. The newly-opened plant will produce midsize die-casting machines, completing the development of an integrated Chinese business network with production, marketing, and support services.

Ube's die-casting machines, extrusion presses, injection molding machines, and vertical mills command a leading share of the world market. Around the globe, American subsidiary Ube Machinery Inc. (UMI) has manufactured die casting machines and injection molding machines since 1996. Ube Machinery (Shanghai) joins UMI to complete the second stage of our three-part corporate strategy for a worldwide stance. The company forecasts sales in the range of 2.3 billion yen in 2002.

Present to celebrate at the commencement ceremony were 120 Shanghai business leaders and representative officers of industrial equipment users, as well as Chairman Kaoru Hirotsu, and Director of Accounting Yamamoto of Ube Industrial Machines (Shanghai) and President Wakabayashi. The opening coincided with an international die-cast expo held in Shanghai from April 25 to 28, with many participants visiting the Ube die-casting machines showcased.
