Expanded use of local materials and development of specifications catering to the local needs are becoming crucial to reinforcing overseas operations. H-ONE will put in place capabilities to develop and design parts in China and Asia, following North America, in a bid to increase a competitive edge by conducting efficient and optimal development activities worldwide. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on August 31, 2011)

- The Company a body structure parts supplier in the Honda group, drafted a long-term vision to raise its consolidated sales 60 percent to 200 billion yen and consolidated profit margin 2.2 percentage points to 7.5 percent respectively in fiscal 2020 from the base year of 2010. The long-tem business plan calls for efforts to boost production and enhance cost competitiveness in Asia focused on China, to make inroads into Latin American markets and to absorb new needs in emerging countries. The company aims to enhance productivity in the U.S. where the market is recovering. Meanwhile, in Japan and Europe where the market is bound to shrink or level off, H-one will narrow down investment to make efficient use of management resources in order to accomplish goals. Based on this vision, the company foresees the global market in fiscal 2020: 29 million vehicles in China an increase of 61 percent from fiscal 2010, 15.3 million in Asia by 77 percent, 7 million in Latin America primarily in Brazil by 35 percent, 17.7 million in North America by 33 percent counting on a slow but steady recovery in the market. On the contrary, it forecasts 4.4 million in Japan down by 12 percent and 18.1 million in Europe down only slightly. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on May 30, 2011)

-The Company's capital investment was mainly directed towards the automotive business.
-Also, 4,744 million yen was spent on installing special manufacturing equipment to support mass production of components for new vehicle models; the remaining 8,678 million yen was spent in installing general production equipment and expanding production facilities.
- WH Auto Parts Industries Inc. started construction of its second production facility, where it plans to install a welding line requiring less space but providing greater usability. This is the first of several installations of this new type of production line, which will be gradually installed in plants in other regions.
-Commercial production was launched in the summer of 2011 at H-one Parts Sriracha Co., Ltd. in Chonburi Province, Thailand, where the Company had been making preparations to launch production since the fall of 2010; and at the Nakatsu Plant in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture.
-In Mexico, where the Company has been increasing its production volume, the Company formed a joint venture with another supplier in the industry, establishing a new production facility.

- The Company will double the daily production capacity of its Kameyama Nakatsu Factory, Nakatsu, Oita Pref., Japan, which manufactures structural parts of the Daihatsu Mira e: S, to 1,000-vehicle worth of parts by March 2012. Although its original plan was 500-vehicle worth of parts per day, it has already raised production to 1.5 times as many. It will add some welding facilities by next spring in order to address requests for even larger production. The Kameyama Nakatsu Factory is H-one's first plant in Kyushu, which was built to manufacture structural body parts of the Mira e: S. Its operation started in August this year. The parts are made from high-tensile steel sheet, which helps reduce the autobody weight. As the major operation at the new plant is the welding process of stamped parts, H-one will add some welding equipment in order to increase the production capacity next spring. It will try to hold down new investment by various efforts including transferring existing equipment. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on November 15, 2011)

- The Company  which manufactures automotive structural components, will raise the ratio of automated operation on the welding lines at its plants in both China and Thailand to more than 80 percent. The move is intended to slash labor cost and improve product quality. WH Auto Parts Industries, its subsidiary in China, is aiming to increase automatic operation by 60 percent to 94 percent during fiscal year 2012. H-one Parts (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in Thailand will introduce a robot system, which is expected to hike the ratio of automatic work from below 10 percent to 80 percent by fiscal year 2013. H-one Parts Sriracha Co., Ltd., a new subsidiary in Thailand scheduled for production launch at the end of fiscal year 2011, is also planning to ensure the same level of automation ratio as H-one Parts (Thailand). The automation project is expected to reduce labor costs at each facility by 40 to a little over 70 percent, which will contribute to increasing efficiency and enhancing competitiveness.
