Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We possess crimping equipment for high-mix wire harness terminal production to enable production even in small lots. This is based on our experience in high-mix low-volume production for the automobile industry. Our company has many years of experience in manufacturing urethane and epoxy resins for potting (waterproofing and dustproofing using resin). We have a production system based on in-house molding lines and tie-ups with group member companies for integrated processing. This includes manufacturing casings necessary for potting (waterproofing and dustproofing using resin).

[Business description]
Our businesses involve automotive wire sub-harness assembly consignment manufacturing, automotive push switch assembly, and dissimilar material forming. We perform potting or encapsulation molding in harness assembly. Potting is a kind of waterproofing and dustproofing treatment using resin. Encapsulation molding does not damage elements because low pressure is used. Encapsulation molding can reduce the processing time and the number of parts compared to potting. We aim to provide comprehensive, thorough processing by using 100-ton synthetic and two-color resin injection molding machines for resin molding and combining in-house jigs, tools, and inspection devices.

[Industry]
Automotive wire sub-harness assembly; automotive push switch manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have been doing business in the field of wire sub-harness assembly for over 40 years, with automobile industry customers who are very strict about quality, cost, and delivery. This experience makes it possible for us to manufacture high-quality products with quick turnarounds and at a low cost even in small-lot production. We add extra value by potting (waterproofing and dustproofing using resin) or encapsulation molding (optimal for waterproofing and dustproofing board elements). This is how we contribute to manufacturing products for outdoor use.

[Representative's message]
Our company is advancing unique product development combining the forming and switching technologies of Matsuda Denki, our group member company, with harness and potting (waterproofing and dustproofing using resin) processing. We have successfully implemented some of these products. We launched our factory in Thailand in 2013. We expanded our business of manufacturing automotive switches and started to supply them to Japanese companies in the local area. Harness production was scheduled to begin in 2016. We will promote sales channel development in the ASEAN region with our factory in Thailand as the starting point.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our sales engineering or production technology department will provide technical consulting. We established Matsuda Denki Thailand (MDT) for overseas expansion as a joint venture with a group member company in 2014. We started to manufacture automotive push switches in June 2013 and the harness assembling business (automotive sub-harnesses) was scheduled to begin in 2016.

[Market share/Ranking]
We have a 25% share of the Japanese market for fuel pump sub-harnesses, and a 25% share of the Japanese market for pressure sensor harnesses.
