Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. announced recently, in a press release, that it will rebuild part of the Shiga Plant, Japan, to allow the production of HIT Solar Cell Modules.
The company will also transfer part of the functions of environmental management, quality control, and customer satisfaction in the Sanyo Group, such as the Environmental Management Center, Product Inspection Center, and Customer Contact Center, to another section within the Shiga Plant.
 Through greater cooperation between the Environmental Management, Product Inspection, and Customer Satisfaction, Sanyo will be able to further strengthen these functions as well as promote the “Think GAIA” vision.
Until last year, Sanyo’s Shiga Plant was used for the development and production of washer/dryer, commercial laundry machines, and other commercial appliances (commercial microwave ovens and electromagnetic cookers). However, with the aim of effectively utilizing management resources and integrating commercial products, complete control will be transferred during the course of this fiscal year to the Tokyo Plant, Gunma, which currently serves as the base for HVAC/R and commercial business products.
In order to effectively utilize the Shiga Plant after the transfer of business control to the Tokyo Plant, and along with the establishment of the new HIT Solar Cell Module production facility at the Shiga Plant, a new center for Environmental Management, Quality Control, and Customer Service will be established on the same grounds as the Shiga Plant. Through these changes, the Shiga plant will be recreated as a face for Environmental Management, Quality Control, and Customer Satisfaction and as a new location to promote the "Think GAIA" vision. |
