Apr. 22, 2014

News Release

Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd.
ADVICS CO., LTD.


Two companies in the Aisin Group, Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. and ADVICS CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Kariya, Aichi; President: Takeshi Kawata), have each established new subsidiaries in Indonesia, and will work to strengthen their business operations in the country, enhancing auto body parts business operations while also newly launching local production of engine and brake parts.

Aisin Seiki has established its second manufacturing company in Indonesia, PT. Aisin Indonesia Automotive, in Karawang International Industrial City. This will enable us to expand local production of auto body parts, as well as introducing new die casting facilities to commence production of engine parts. Together with existing manufacturing company PT. Aisin Indonesia, established in 1996, the company aims to firm up the operating base of Aisin's business in Indonesia, a country where dramatic market growth is predicted.

ADVICS will establish PT. ADVICS MANUFACTURING INDONESIA, the Aisin Group's first brake parts manufacturing company in Indonesia. The new company will launch local production with the goal of expanding business operations in the rapidly growing Indonesian market, strengthening its existing operating base and moving to capture new market share.

The new ADVICS affiliate will occupy space on the premises of PT. Aisin Indonesia Automotive, where the two companies will share resources for efficient intra-Group operation and development of the Group's supply framework in Indonesia.

In the coming days, the Aisin Group will continue expanding business operations overseas, particularly in emerging economies, as we move toward realization of the AISIN Group Vision 2020.
