Horiba Steps Up Production in China with Completion of Second Plant.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 28, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Horiba Instruments (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Horiba's production subsidiary in China, has announced the completion of a second plant in Shanghai's Jiading Industrial District. The new facility, which has been under construction since February of this year, comprises two factory buildings and a two-story office building and is 3.5 times larger than the existing factory. A ceremony to mark the commencement of full-scale operations is planned for September 29. Equipped with a facility for designing products and training engineers locally, the newly established plant is intended to function as Horiba's hub operation in China. In addition to producing consumables for automotive test systems and laboratory measuring systems, as well as sensors (electrode electrode, terminal through which electric current passes between metallic and nonmetallic parts of an electric circuit. In most familiar circuits current is carried by metallic conductors, but in some circuits the current passes for some distance through a ) for pH meters, the new facility will manufacture water quality-monitoring systems for the Chinese market and hematology hematology Branch of medicine concerned with the nature, function, and diseases of the blood. It covers the cellular and serum composition of blood, the coagulation process, blood-cell formation, hemoglobin synthesis, and disorders of all these. analyzers for the Japanese market. In the future, the new plant is expected to commence production of the reagent reagent /re·a·gent/ (re-a´jent) a substance used to produce a chemical reaction so as to detect, measure, produce, etc., other substances. re·a·gent n. for hematology analyzers geared to the Chinese market, as well as the manufacture of large-scale automotive test systems and ambient Surrounding. For example, ambient temperature and humidity are atmospheric conditions that exist at the moment. See ambient lighting. monitoring systems. Meanwhile, Horiba's existing production plant underwent renovation this month to triple the size of its clean room, to support increased production of sensors for mass flow controllers A mass flow controller (MFC) is a device used to measure and control the flow of gases. A mass flow controller is designed and calibrated to control a specific type of gas at a particular range of flow rates. (gas and liquid supply regulators for the semiconductor manufacturing system). Horiba also plans to establish a repair center, which will recycle major product parts such as the detectors of laboratory measuring systems, in the compound of the existing facility. Horiba aims to increase its business in China to 16.5 billion yen, or 11% of its entire sales, by 2010. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
