Hitachi Metals, Ltd. will introduce harness assembly lines for rolling stock wire and cables at its operation base in the Czech Republic in order to strengthen its system for offering solutions in the rolling stock cable business in Europe. Mass production is planned to commence in October 2016.
Hitachi Metals has been working to increase the profitability of its Cable Materials Business based on its three growth drivers of rolling stock, medical products, and automotive electrical components. In June 2016, production lines for manufacturing cables for rolling stock and industrial applications using Hitachi Metals’ proprietary technologies were introduced at an operation base in China to enhance the competitiveness of its rolling stock cable business.
Against this backdrop, Hitachi Metals will introduce harness assembly lines for rolling stock wire and cables at Hitachi Cable Europe in the Czech Republic, a location that offers convenient access to other European countries. As a result, the system for offering solutions will be strengthened in the European market (including the UK, Germany, and France), where investments have actively been made to improve railway networks.
