1.Background

 FE continues to strengthen its core power electronics systems business, which accounts for 60% of the entire company’s sales, and has set a policy of focusing on expanding its systems business overseas.
 China is one such region set as a focus area for expanding its overseas business. FE has continued to expand its business for products such as inverters, motors, measuring instruments, power distribution systems, and control equipment in China, and has been working with Dalian Bingshan since 2003 to manufacture and sell vending machines. Dalian Bingshan is a major manufacturer of refrigerators and A/C equipment in China. It is involved in manufacturing and selling commercial refrigeration/cold storage equipment and A/C equipment, and offers advantages in cold/heat energy equipment and technology.
 Energy consumption has been rapidly increasing following economic growth in China, and the market for energy saving products/solutions has been expanding. FE and Dalian Bingshan have recently agreed to establish a new engineering company, with the goal of combining Fuji Electric’s energy saving technology with Dalian Bingshan’s A/C cold/heat technology in order to provide systems that can help resolve energy and environmental issues facing customers in China.
