Hitachi Koki’s Power Tools Mounted New Type of High
Capacity Lithium-ion Battery
Hitachi Koki’s lithium-ion batteries-operated power tools also come
with highly effi cient, energy-saving brushless motors that offer an
increase in workload. Hitachi Koki will continue to bolster its lineup
of power tools with increasingly innovative and user friendly offer-
ings. For example, the company has developed a high-capacity
lithium-ion battery that boasts the same size and weight as existing
products.
Hitachi Kokusai Electric’s Advanced Batch Thermal Process System
Hitachi Kokusai Electric’s QUIXACE ULTIMATE is a new batch thermal processing
platform for 300mm wafers. This system offers high throughput by using
advanced technologies in such areas as temperature control and wafer handling
automation. In the semiconductor manufacturing fi lm deposition fi eld, the compa-
ny is harnessing its world-class technologies to address calls for increasingly pre-
cise semiconductors.
쎲 Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation
Sales decreased compared with the previous fi scal year.
Despite solid sales of etching systems and clinical analyzers,
this decrease was largely attributable to the downturn in
sales as a result of the drop in FPD manufacturing equip-
ment prices and weak trends in advanced industrial prod-
ucts refl ecting the impacts of Great East Japan Earthquake
and fl ooding in Thailand.
Earnings were similarly down year over year due to the
drop in sales.
쎲 Hitachi Medical Corporation
Sales increased year over year due to an increase in the
company’s lineup of diagnostic ultrasound systems resulting
from the conversion of Aloka Co., Ltd. (currently Hitachi-
Aloka Medical, Ltd.) to a consolidated subsidiary as well as
the signifi cant upswing in sales of general analysis systems
and medical analysis systems.
From a profi t perspective, earnings climbed year over year
owing mainly to the increase in sales.
쎲 Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc.
Sales surpassed the previous fi scal year. This favorable perfor-
mance refl ected higher sales of semiconductor manufacturing
systems as well as video and wireless network products focus-
ing mainly on public protection disaster-relief systems and sur-
veillance cameras systems. Buoyed by the increase in sales,
cost cutting and other factors, the company’s earnings
increased compared with the previous fi scal year.
쎲 Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.
Sales decreased compared with the previous fi scal year.
Despite a recovery in housing investment in Japan and an
upswing in restoration-related demand following the earth-
quake disaster, this negative result refl ected a slowdown in
economic growth rates in Europe, a slump in housing
investment in North America and the yen’s appreciation.
Earnings improved year over year despite the downturn in
sales. This was largely attributable to successful efforts to
promote cost reductions in line with such factors as the shift
of production overseas as well as sales growth in high-value-
added products.
