<Sales in the Japanese auto industry>
The number of vehicle units produced in the first half of the year significantly increased year-on-year because of the tax reductions and sales incentives offered for eco-car purchases. As a result, the Company’s sales grew. In spite of the fact that export volume was strong during the second half of the year, sales volume in Japan decreased as a result of the eco-car sales incentives coming to an end. In addition, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused production slowdowns at its major customers, so the Company’s sales toward the very end of the fiscal year dramatically decreased. Nevertheless, for the entire fiscal year as the whole, both sales and profit were up year-on-year.

<Sales in the auto industry outside Japan>
After the economic recession, the underlying elements leading to a market recovery became more pronounced, so overall sales and operating profit grew significantly higher year-on-year.

New Companies

China
The Company has set up a new company to manufacture and sell synthetic resin molded components in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, China. Nifco currently operates eight facilities in China, supplying its products mainly to Japanese and Korean automakers. The new entity, which is its ninth location in China, will target non-Japanese automakers in China. The 7 million USD (approx. 600 million Japanese yen) entity was fully invested by Nifco (HK) Ltd., based in Hong Kong. (From a press release on January 27, 2011)

The Company announced that it will establish a new company for manufacture and sales of synthetic plastic products in Ezhou, Hubei Province, China in December. A new company capitalized at approximately 600 million yen will be 100 percent invested by Nifco (HK) Limited, Nifco's subsidiary in Hong Kong. The local production facility, which is expected to employ 110 workers at the end of 2011, will allow Nifco to provide expanded service to automakers operating in the midland of China.

India
The Company announced that it has established two wholly-owned subsidiaries in the north and south regions of India to supply fasteners to Japanese and Korean automakers operating in the country. The company, which has been serving the Indian market by exporting the products from its nearby Asian facilities to local automakers, will respond to growing demand in the future by making inroads to the market. It is the first time for the fastener supplier to set up more than one firms simultaneously in one country. This is in response to the demand divided in the north and south in India. While production will get started in the north by the end of the year, demand will be met by imports for the time being in the south. The northern company is "Nifco India Private Limited" located in Manesar, Gurgaon, Haryana and capitalized at about 570 million yen. The southern company is "Nifco South India Manufacturing Private Limited" located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and capitalized at about 77 million yen.
