There is now strong demand for hydrogen
peroxide in China and other parts of Asia and this demand is expected to continue
growing in step with the expansion of paper manufacturing and chemical and
electronic industries. Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC), which is already among
Asia’s top producers of hydrogen peroxide, is poised to meet this growing
demand. The latest addition to MGC’s lineup of production facilities
is the Suzhou MGC Suhua Peroxide Co., Ltd. located in China’s Jiangsu
Province. The new company, which is 60% financed by MGC, is targeting annual
production of 30,000 tons, after having initiated full-scale operations of
its hydrogen peroxide facilities in December 2009.

For decades, Mitsubishi
Electric has made significant contributions to Japanese space research and development
while simultaneously cultivating a strong international reputation for its
space technologies. In October 2009, the company concluded a landmark deal
with Orbital Sciences Corporation to provide Proximity Link System (PLS) components
to guide the Cygnus Spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) on
nine re-supply missions for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA). Valued at approximately US$66 million, the deal represents one of the
largest contracts tying a Japanese company to NASA’s space exploration
program. The PLS components are essential for rendezvous control between re-supply
spacecraft and the ISS.

Mitsubishi
Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) continues to make headway with efforts to
expand its hybrid truck business as the company seeks to make inroads
overseas by building on the success of the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid
in Japan. In October 2009, MFTBC received its first international
order for Fuso Hybrid trucks—an order for 10 Fuso Canter Eco
Hybrid trucks from a customer in Ireland. Then in February 2010,
the company announced it would deliver 25 hybrid trucks to a customer
in Australia. Later in February, MFTBC’s hybrid truck business
continued to gain momentum as sales of Canter Eco Hybrid light-duty
trucks were launched in Hong Kong.
