It is the culmination of intensive development efforts by our engineers based on decades of experience. A high standard, which we are implementing every day in production using the modern system of synchronised fl ow assembly. This gives each employee maximum responsibility. It is highly motivating to know the value, which each individual represents to the company as a result. It s not a secret: The future belongs to all-electric machines. The competence that Sumitomo Heavy Industries possesses in the area of direct drives for injection moulding machines especially ensures us a leading position. With our innovative machine features such as the switchable non-return valve activelock, we offer our customers an unbeatable competitive edge. To be a member of the team at the Centre of Competence for electric machines makes me very proud.

9 Ningbo Production centre for the Asian market 175 employees Chiba Production centre for the Asian and U.S. markets 800 employees Richard Chen Sales Director Takushi Kuriyama Key Account Manager The innovation capabilities and the multi-technology orientation that have come out of the merger between Sumitomo Heavy Industries and Demag are fascinating. The machines designed specifi cally for the Asian region and its requirements give us a competitive edge, which will allow us to penetrate the Chinese market even more effectively. No doubt we will be able to write another piece of global industry history there as well. What I fi nd particularly thrilling is the synergy effect involving cultural and human characteristics that the Japanese-German connection entails. The systematic ways and purposefulness that the German colleagues use to approach technical challenges meet our thirst for knowledge and our inventiveness. An excellent combination, which is of great advantage to us at our Japanese manufacturing location and whose benefi ts I realise every day in my contacts with customers. 9

The roots of all Sumitomo companies go back to the year And the group still adheres to the code of conduct of its founder Masatomo Sumitomo ( ) today. The basis for the company s success in the early years of the 20th century was the development of machines and equipment for the steel and transportation industries the beginning of an ongoing process of expansion into vastly diverse technology sectors. Currently, the Sumitomo Group comprises 37 companies, with its Plastics Machinery Division active both in injection moulding and blow moulding. It has played a signifi cant role in shaping both the quantitative and qualitative growth of the industry in Asia. With well over 4,200 machines sold per year, SHI is considered one of the leading manufacturers of injection moulding machines in Asia. In the area of electric machines, SHI is impressive with its worldwide dominance. Last but not least, this strong position results from the know-how transfer of key technologies from other business units in the group. The merger with Demag Plastics Group has produced the first company of the injection moulding sector that is not only represented globally, but also has international origins. 11

15 Look at everything from our customers viewpoint. From the Sumitomo Code of Conduct Special solutions and industry know-how To us, working in a solution-focused manner means understanding our clients requirements and getting to know their challenges and objectives. Therefore, it is not surprising that efficiency and productivity have always been decisive criteria for our machine technologies. We are currently offering an effective production efficiency programme with this in mind: activeecon, for instance, can be used to optimise energy consumption, activeq to provide sensitive protection to the mould, and activedrive to allow use of pressure and fl ow rate controlled pumps. Our customers from the medical, automotive, consumer goods, electronics and packaging sectors benefi t from our innovative process and application methods such as multicomponent, micro-injection, compression and LSR technologies. Equipment packages for in-mould labelling, in-mould decoration as well as screw cap production are other important additions to ensure high-quality production. We have also been involved for many years in building extensive competence in converting injection moulding machines into complete production cells. Using effective systems and intelligent automation modules, we not only ensure the greatest possible accuracy but also fast and economical solutions. We integrate a diverse range of storage and conveying equipment, powerful handling systems with SDR 3-axis linear robots or intelligent multi-axis robots, which perform the handling of the moulds, into guard housings to form a complete production system. One note worthy element is our NC5 plus central control, in which all control tasks for machine and periphery can be combined with activeremote. That way, we minimise our clients risks and maximise their productivity. You can only be successful if you are in tune with your customers, understand their business and are able to offer them tailormade solutions. Professionalism, therefore, means to specialise, to focus and to think holistically. Jens Löwe Head of Product and Cluster Management, Schwaig 15
