New Opportunity for the New Millennium
In this era of globalisation and vast technological change, Omron is reaffirming its dedication to offering added value to customers by developing innovative products and services. Omron intelligent components will be the building blocks for new consumer and industrial products. Control products, systems technologies and software will form the heart of flexible, networked manufacturing lines and automation systems.
A Global Company
Omron's global network covers five regions: Europe, North and South America, Japan, Greater China, and the Asia Pacific. Over a quarter of a century ago Omron founded its Asia Pacific operations in Singapore to meet the needs of the regions rapidly expanding industrial markets.
Operations that initially marketed products for Omron's Industrial Business Group has expanded to also represent the company's Social Systems Business Group and Healthcare Division.
Today the company's regional network consists of over 2,500 employees in sales, manufacturing, technical support and research and development activities. The regional headquarters located in Singapore manages and supports activities in the region.
Supporting Your Needs
Omron sales offices in Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam provide customers with comprehensive service and support.
A major factor in Omron's rapid progress is that company personnel throughout the world adhere strongly to a basic policy of Quality First.
Strategically located throughout the region, these offices enable the company to quickly and efficiently meet customer needs by providing application support for created sophisticated automation systems, training on how to use Omron products to their full potential, and after sales service.
Components to Meet Your Needs
From micro-relays to advanced sensors, Omron Asia Pacific's Industrial Business Group offers the industry's most complete line of advanced, high-quality products to meet the needs of its customers. These products can be found in both consumer products and commercial applications. Omron relays and switches play an important role in the operation of household appliances, automobiles and machinery. Temperature control devices ensure the efficiency of heating and air-conditioning devices as well as monitor annealing ovens on manufacturing lines. Sensors and programmable controllers automate control on manufacturing lines. For all these products, Omron works with customers to create effective, cost-efficient solutions.
"Innovation is a key operational function at Omron"
Advanced Automation Solutions
The Industrial Business Group uniquely combines its full range of control components with the application know how and support necessary to build and maintain sophisticated automation systems. In manufacturing, benefits span all facets of the production process, including inventory and production control, communication networks, discrete manufacturing, quality control and integration, plant wide management and distributed information and control systems. From advanced products like machine vision systems to innovative fuzzy logic based temperature control, Omron supplies a wealth of technology and experience to factories in the Asia Pacific region and throughout the world.
Omron is also dedicated to meeting automation needs outside the manufacturing industry. In fields such as building control, waste management and automated baggage distribution in airports, Omron works closely with customers to create advanced automation systems.
Omron Contributing to Society
As reflected in its corporate motto, "At work for a better life, a better world for all," Omron strongly believes that in order to be a truly successful company, it must also be a responsible citizen in the local communities where it does business. The company works to achieve this in two ways ¨C first by offering innovative products and services that improve the quality of living and second by making direct contributions to society through volunteer activities and donations. As a result, offices in the Asia Pacific region and around the world are dedicated to taking an active role in their local communities.
In 1972 Omron and Japan Sun Industries established Omron Taiyo, a joint venture company with the mission to provide gainful employment to handicapped persons. The company manufactured power relays and was so successful that similar companies were established by companies such as Sony and Honda. Omron also established another such company, Omron Kyoto Taiyo, in 1981.
Supporting Educational Advancement
Internationally Omron supports events like the Oita International Wheelchair Marathon while in local communities the company supports cultural events, the arts, and education. In the Asia Pacific region Omron has dedicated itself to contributing to the advancement of regional economies. The company is contributing to the educational development of highly proficient engineers throughout the region through a series of donations of factory automation courses and equipment to prominent universities and technical institutions.
On 10th May, the anniversary of Omron's foundation, employees around the world volunteer their time to worthy causes. In the Asia Pacific region, activities range from spending time talking with residents at retirement homes to cleaning up parking parks and donating time to local charities.
Achieving ISO 14001 Certification
Recognizing that achieving ISO 14001 certification is a passport to becoming a global and "green" corporation, OMRON sees the certification as a manifestation of its environmental management attitude toward promoting continuous reductions in environmental burden. To-date, ISO 14001 certification has been achieved at all of OMRON's 30 manufacturing sites
