1. Background and Objectives
EBARA's Management Policy, formulated in 2015, states: 'We aim to continuously improve product performance by ensuring the highest technological development capabilities in each business area. Proactively incorporate the buds of technology that exist outside the company to bring to market products with technical characteristics that are not available to competitors. That's what I'm saying. As one of our growth strategies, we have entered into a technical business alliance agreement with Teikoku Electric, a leading company in "canned motor pumps," to provide safe and durable pumps that incorporate Teikoku's caned motors and accessories in EBARA's UCW type pumps to the global oil refining and petrochemical industry pump market.
