Our Activities All of the Sanden Group’s Business Operations Including Core Activities Put Emphasis on Caring for the Environment. Automotive Systems Sanden has taken a long and careful look at the evolution of the automobile and is pursuing the development of next-generation, air-conditioning systems that are friendly to both people and the environment. Sanden’s compressors for use in car air-conditioning systems have been adopted by many automotive manufacturers around the world, and Sanden is continuing to contribute as a leader in this field. Commercial Store Systems Sanden develops, manufactures, and markets refrigerated and freezer showcases used in convenience stores and other kinds of stores as well as vending machines for products including beverages and foods. The Company’s global market share in the field of vending machines is approximately 30%. We offer vending machines and refrigerated showcases that employ environment-friendly CO2 refrigerant. In 2011, we launched a non-freon, heat-pump vending machine with LED illumination, and it is now the industry’s top product with respect to energy conservation. Sanden has also been an industry leader in providing equipment maintenance and renovation services that customers require in connection with their store network expansion and store rebuilding strategies. Eco Systems and Other Products Sanden develops, manufactures, and markets Eco Cute* CO 2 refrigerant heat-pump hot-water- supply-system products as well as wireless communication modems and other IT-related products for our services. Since 2010, the Company has been providing the Eco Cute technologies it has accumulated in Japan, Australia, and European markets, and plans call for progressively expanding this business to encompass global markets for hot-water-supply-system products. * “Eco Cute” is the nickname given to CO2 natural refrigerant heat-pump hot-water-supply systems that have been promoted by electric power companies and by companies manufacturing and marketing these units.
