The decision is in keeping with IHI Group Management Policies 2016, which adopted a new portfolio management approach to reinforce IHI\u2019s earnings base. This share transfer was an outcome of construction machinery business deliberations as part of efforts to accelerate business concentration and selection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>IHI Construction Machinery was established in 1952 as Ishikawajima Koehring Co., a joint venture with Koehring of the United States. Over the years, the company has manufactured and sold mini\u2010excavators, cranes, crawler carriers, and other construction machinery, offering top\u2010notch products and services in Japan and abroad.<br \/>\nIn recent years, the construction machinery sector has experienced an increasingly adverse operating climate owing to slower growth in emerging nations and more uncertainty in the global economy. Construction machinery companies have endeavored to accommodate these dramatic changes and reinforce their business underpinnings by forming alliances or restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 1895, Kato Works is a leading construction machinery company. It is deploying measures to reach the global market, develop highly competitive products and expand its lineup. It was against this backdrop that IHI explored the optimal business structure to deploy IHI Construction Machinery\u2019s resources, centered on its strengths in mini excavators and large crawler cranes.<br \/>\nManagement concluded that integrating that subsidiary\u2019s operations with those of Kato Works as a specialized construction machinery player would reinforce competitiveness. It would also create a structure for products and services that deliver higher added value to customers by bolstering the lineup and leveraging IHI Construction Machinery\u2019s Italian and Chinese business units and sales networks.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Kato Works group, IHI Construction Machinery will continue to make and sell products that benefit customers by consolidating technological and manufacturing strengths. The Kato Works group will endeavor to broaden its lineup, expand its sales network, and reinforce development and design to boost its development capabilities, delivering even more attractive products and services in Japan and worldwide. The transfer is subject to regulatory approval, with a scheduled transfer date of November 25th, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IHI Corporation (IHI) announced that it has agreed to transfer all the shares in its wholly\u2010owned IHI Construction Machinery Limited to Kato Works Co., Ltd.
