“To meet increasing vehicle production by Japanese car manufacturers in the Tohoku and Kanto regions, as well as to establish a competitive production system in Japan, we have decided to set up [the new company] in Fukushima, Tohoku region,” said Denso executive Sojiro Tsuchiya.
The site ”is geographically most balanced” to supply components to the Toyota group’s member companies in the Tohoku region and other automakers in the northern Kanto region, Denso president Shinro Iwatsuki told Kyodo News.
