New Cosmos Electric Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, President: Yoshinori Takahashi) announces the following organizational and personnel changes effective April 1, 2026.
1. Organizational Changes
1) Establish a 'Certification Department' within the Technology Development Division.
2) Split the Product Development Department 1 of the Technology Development Division into 'Product Development Department 1' and 'Product Development Department 4'.
3) Split the Product Development Department 2 of the Technology Development Division into 'Product Development Department 2' and 'Product Development Department 3'.
4) Establish a 'Global Sales Headquarters', which will include the Sales Planning Promotion Department, Living Sales Division, Industry Sales Division, Maintenance Department, East Japan Branch, Chubu Branch, West Japan Branch, and Overseas Division.
Key Points of Organizational Changes
(1) Establishment of the Global Sales Headquarters
Background: In recent years, the New Cosmos Electric Group has been actively expanding its business activities overseas, establishing bases and expanding local sales networks in multiple regions including Europe, the Americas, and Asia. There is an increasing need to respond fluidly to customers without distinguishing between domestic and overseas operations, such as for 'overseas investment projects by domestic companies' and 'domestic investment projects by overseas group companies'.
Purpose: To remove the barriers between domestic and overseas operations and conduct sales activities in a unified and agile manner, a 'Global Sales Headquarters' will be newly established.
(2) Establishment of the Certification Department
Background: The burden of dealing with certifications for products destined for overseas markets has been increasing, making it difficult to respond stably and quickly under the conventional system. In addition, the importance of compliance with certifications and standards is growing due to the expansion of the product lineup for North America and the progress of hydrogen-related fields in the European market.
Purpose: By professionally managing and promoting certification operations as an independent department, quality and compliance will be strengthened, and reliability in overseas markets will be improved.
