摘要

Tokyo, December 27, 2011 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced that it will globally launch a new series of state-of-the-art elevators this month to strengthen its overseas elevator business. The company will also strengthen its global supply of parts and engineering services through the establishment of a parts-supply and engineering company in Thailand. Mitsubishi Electric's new, machine-room less NEXIEZ-MRL elevator offers a range of load capacities (450 to 1,050 kilograms) and rated speeds (60 to 105 meters per minute) to enable building owners to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through high energy efficiency. The models will be mainly manufactured in Thailand by Mitsubishi Elevator Asia Co., Ltd., which is a key player in Mitsubishi Electric's global elevator business. Mitsubishi Electric Building Techno-Service Co., Ltd., a wholly owned maintenance company, has established a parts-supply and engineering subsidiary, Meltec Parts & Engineering Co., Ltd., in Chon Buri, Thailand. Working in cooperation with Mitsubishi Elevator Asia, the new company will supply elevator parts worldwide on a highly efficient basis, taking over this role from Mitsubishi Electric's Inazawa Works in Japan. Utilizing its strong engineering capabilities, Meltec Parts & Engineering will also provide modernization and renovation services to building owners.
