It’s a win-win deal for the two sides.
SANKEN SETSUBI KOGYO is one of the leaders in mechanical and electrical engineering in japan. It has experienced in the world’s mega projects such as Kansai International Airport, Ajinomoto Stadium, and Okura Hotel Tokyo. The two companies have come closer by forming a joint venture, called “SANKEN-EMC Co Ltd” , to play more aggressive role in ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). In early stage, it has an aim to keep more focus on Thai market, with Japanese as major customers.

Mr Chanachai Leenabunchong, president of EMC Plc, said that the company has formed a joint venture with SANKEN SETSUBI KOGYO Co Ltd or SANKEN, which is one of the leading system engineering expert from Japan, to set up ‘‘SANKEN-EMC Co’’. Under the operation, SANKEN holds a 49% of shares , while 48% by EMC. The rest of the shares are held by domestic investors.
The objective of setting up “SANKEN-EMC Co Ltd’’ is aimed at serving the rapidly-growing market, especially driven by the opening of the AEC in 2015.
