Global Network Coordination and Strengthening

CBC has established a basic policy that takes its global strategy and manufacturing as its two main pillars and has been steadily implementing this. However, our single most defining characteristic lies in our global distribution network and the sales power that makes full use of this network.
Within the matrix formed by our trading company and maker functions, we have attempted to diversify our business by making use of the CBC Group's network, information gathering, and cooperation power to forge links organically with various companies. CBC's great strength is that we are able to develop our area strategy and product strategy in a multilayered way.

CBC first began to make overseas advances half a century ago. In 1960 and 61, we set up representative offices in the United States (New York) and the United Kingdom (London) in rapid succession, and a decade later in 1970, we established a local affiliate in Hong Kong. Since then we have attempted to steadily expand our overseas developments by, for example, establishing local affiliates in Germany in 1982 and in Italy in 1988.
Moreover, we have reinforced our sales bases in the developing world, including by opening a representative office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), establishing local affiliates in India (Mumbai) and China (Beijing), and expanding our sales bases in Russia (Moscow) and Poland (Warsaw).
We are continuing to expand our operational bases, by giving positive investment to the rising nations, recently through the establishment of local affiliates in Thailand (Amata Nakorn), Indonesia (Jakarta), etc.
