(3) Realignment of Worldwide Bases, Including Closing Design and Manufacturing Bases

By the end of fiscal 2009, design, development and manufacturing bases both in Japan and overseas will be restructured, integrated or closed. This will see the integration of engine control system and power steering operations where manufacturing takes place at multiple bases. Some locations will also be closed as a result of the Company’s withdrawal from the surface treatment processing (plating) business. Furthermore, to strengthen cost competitiveness, more production of starters, suspension and other products will be transferred to subsidiaries in China, Thailand and elsewhere, and materials will increasingly be procured locally. With the aim of strengthening the business base in the sharply contracting North American market, UNISIA OF GEORGIA CORPORATION and TOKICO (USA) INC. will be brought under Kentucky-headquartered Hitachi Automotive Products (USA) Inc., which will oversee North American operations. This effective integration of three companies should improve the efficiency of business operations.
