Background and Purpose of Establishing the Joint Venture
In India, demand for wastewater treatment and sludge treatment is rapidly expanding due to economic growth and urbanization. Furthermore, driven by stricter environmental regulations and accelerated development of water and sewage infrastructure, the demand for high-performance and highly reliable sludge treatment technology is higher than ever before.
Until now, our company has sold sludge dehydrators through SBS, but we faced challenges in price competitiveness due to a supply system centered on imported products. Therefore, by merging our company's technological capabilities with SBS's production and sales network, we will:
- Establish a production and assembly system within India
- Significantly improve cost competitiveness
- Swiftly supply the expanding Indian market
Through these, we aim to strengthen our market presence.
Business Development and Medium-to-Long-Term Vision
In the new company, we will initially begin local assembly and production of our core product, the sludge dehydrator, under a system where all major components are procured from suppliers within India and finally assembled at the joint venture's local factory. In the future, we plan to gradually insource major components and expand our product lineup to include water treatment equipment other than sludge dehydrators, such as dissolved air flotation systems and sludge dryers.
Furthermore, we position this joint venture as a crucial base in the South Asia region to promote business development across sales, manufacturing, and R&D. We also expect it to play a role as an export hub to neighboring countries in the future, becoming a core base in our company's global strategy.
