Located on the premises of Mitsubishi Electric Automation (China) Ltd., a China-based FA sales company wholly owned by the Mitsubishi Electric Group, the new center creates a centralized location for the management of sales and technical support in China.

Rising wages in Shanghai and other areas of east China are prompting manufacturers to accelerate their introduction of automated production. The new center, which is expected to attract some 5,000 visitors per year, strengthens Mitsubishi Electric's ability to meet China's need for efficient, multifunctional factories.
