Factors
1)
- In Thailand, the Company started preparation work for production of components for remodeled pickup trucks, while starting operations at Thai Summit PK Corporation Ltd. in September 2010. In North America, it started producing panels for commercial vans in January 2011, which is a new business the Company won from Nissan.

- Sales of heavy-duty commercial vehicle products increased from the previous year’s result, thanks to growth in demand in Japan and strong exports. Sales of light-duty vehicle products were supported by bumper exports from Japan, a rise in demand for pickup truck components made in Thailand, and a mild market recovery in the U.S.

- Sales revenue from the finished vehicle business decreased due to a fall in the number of vehicles assembled.

Awards

-The Company eceived the Volvo Supplier Award for 2009. The award was given by Volvo to nine companies in recognition of the high marks they achieved in such areas as product quality, safety, and delivery. (From a press release on September 30, 2010)

- The Company launched a new team consisting of the plant technology division, the product design division, and the production method development division to establish and enhance its proprietary technologies. The integrated development team has also been working on studies to introduce new production technologies that contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation and development of next generation products.
- The company established advanced testing and evaluation methods leveraging its superior designing and testing capabilities, and database for strength levels. It also developed more sophisticated finite element method (FEM) analysis technology. The Company has thereby enhanced its assessment technologies and reduced development lead-time, improving its capabilities to design and propose new technologies.
 
<Automotive parts division>
- Under the theme of offering environmentally responsive products, the Company worked on developing forming technologies for high strength materials and optimum product designs to achieve weight reduction. It has also worked on establishing crash analysis technologies to enhance the safety of its products.
- The Company is trying to respond to diversifying product specifications by combining common parts with other parts, without sticking to the conventional idea about how products should be designed. It is also developing elemental technology that can be used to reduce costs.
