As a result, the company currently directly manage 22 EMS factories in 10 countries.
Kaga Electronics Co., Ltd. has manufactured in-car products in Xiangyang, Hubei Province since 2014, and has now constructed a new factory in Xiaogan due to active demand from customers.
Xiaogan is located near Wuhan, which is an automotive manufacturing hub, and is thus an ideal location to build closer relationships with existing customers and cultivate new ones. In addition to manufacturing for existing customers, the company also aims to secure new orders from local Chinese companies and achieve net sales of 10 billion yen within five years of operation. It also plans to incorporate the functions of the Xiangyang factory into the new Xiaogan factory.
The company will work to expand the scale and improve the quality of the group’s operations, with the aim of forming “Japan’s No. 1 corporate group in the industry” by achieving sales in the region of 500 billion yen, becoming a competitive “World Class Company” that will survive even in global competition when competing against foreign rivals with sales in the region of 1 trillion yen. This is the vision of the company's medium-term management plan, by leveraging the increased competitiveness of the EMS business.
