Mitsubishi Electric Corp. announced that its sales subsidiary Mitsubishi Electric Turkey A.S. will establish a new factory automation (FA) center at its location in the Ümraniye district of Istanbul to provide enhanced services to locally operating manufacturers, especially Japanese automotive and component manufacturers, starting October 1.
The Turkey FA Center is expected to support the ongoing expansion of Mitsubishi Electric’s FA business in Turkey, where the company expects sales to reach 3 billion yen by the fiscal year ending in March 2016.
Services are open to all but are tailored particularly to Japanese manufacturers, according to a spokesman. They will include technical consultation, repairs, training and support for FA products. System proposals and engineering education will also be provided.
With the third largest population in Europe and a rapidly growing GDP, Turkey’s economy is expected to see robust growth, particularly in the automotive and food industries, and the FA market is forecast to expand 10 percent yearly. Major Japanese manufacturers will be increasing their activities, raising demand for FA products and related service support.
Mitsubishi Electric started its FA business in Turkey in June 2013 with five locations and 42 employees. FA product support has been provided up to now through local distributors and the Europe FA Center in Poland. The establishment of this new domestic center is expected to realize significantly faster and stronger FA product services throughout the country.
Turkey FA Center and Ümraniye office is on Asian side of Instanbul, while the Mitsubishi Electric Turkey A.S. head office is on European side. Additional sales offices are located in Bursa, Ankara, Izmir and Adana.
