샌즈 카지노vy Industries, Ltd. (Yoshio Hinoh, President) announced today that the manufacturing plant of the company's local subsidiary in Hanoi, Vietnam, will soon be completed and commence operations. The subsidiary was established in August 2005 to produce power transmission motors.


The new subsidiary will perform all aspects of the production of power transmission motors, including procurement of materials, assembly, and completion of the finished product. Demand for power transmission motors is expanding worldwide, and SHI anticipates substantial growth in overseas markets for such products in the years ahead. This trend has necessitated the strengthening of the company's motor supply system to ensure a stable flow to facilities overseas. Bringing the new production plant into operation will enable SHI to reduce costs associated with power transmission motors while at the same time assuring customers of even higher levels of quality and reliable delivery.

The new motor plant will be SHI's sixth offshore production facility for power transmission business, joining two in China and one each in the United States, Germany, and Britain. SHI plans to continue its efforts to improve sales and service capabilities on a global scale.
