New Facility Will Produce Safety System Sensors and Ceramic Components
DENSO Corporation announced today that it will build a new facility on the premises of its Daian Plant located in Inabe, Mie prefecture, Japan. By 2010, the total investment in the new facility will be approximately 26 billion yen* (approximately US$220 million).
With the construction of the new facility, the Daian plant will manufacture ceramic components - ceramic substrates and DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters) - for exhaust emission purification, in addition to its current products such as ignition devices, safety-related equipment, ignition plugs, oxygen sensors, and various actuators and sensors. The plant’s current production lines for airbag sensing systems will also move to the new facility to accommodate an increase in production volume.
Construction of the new facility is scheduled to begin in July and be completed by June 2007. Production is scheduled to start in August 2007.
"We are building the new facility to enhance our production capability in response to the growing need for safety system sensors and ceramic components for exhaust gas purification," said Hiromi Tokuda, managing officer in charge of DENSO’s Powertrain Control Systems Business Group.
