Welding Division was in operation for the manufacturing of welding consumables, welding equipment and machinery, etc.

Projects and Constructions Division, known as PCC (Projects, Construction and Contracts Division), was in operation for the installation of turn key projects, engineering, procurement and construction, and heavy fabrication.

Engineering Division (Tools Division) was in operation for the manufacturing of special purpose machine tools and tooling systems.

Automotive Division was initiated in 1996 in commemoration of the centenary of the automotive industry, marking Henry Ford’s completion of his first experimental car. That same year, in line production obtained an Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum license and converted the production facilities into assembling 10,000 units enhancing its shop floor from 67,000 square feet to 110,000 square feet for additional production and testing space. Due to political reasons, the license was withdrawn on the recommendation of the state government. This stalled operations and research, and development efforts toward automatic dynamic car parking stations were initiated. Upon successful research, a prototype was made and tests executed with satisfactory results; this led to the creation of the Infrastructure Development Division to further establish automatic dynamic car parking stations.

During the restructuring of operations, the Marketing and Trading Division was created.

While Egypt currently relies on thermal power plants for the majority of its power needs, demand for more renewable energy solutions is increasing.

“We won the first-ever wind power IPP (independent power producer) project in Egypt,” said Tokuji Koyama, general manager, TTC Cairo Representative Office.

“The $400 million Ras Ghareb Wind Energy project will improve the country’s ‘energy mix.’” Located on the Gulf of El Zayt, the site boasts excellent year-round wind conditions. Through a consortium, TTC will build, own and operate the 262.5 MW wind power plant. In December this year, TTC will begin to sell generated electricity under a 20-year contract.

“We construct power plants in a timely manner and offer the most advanced technologies,” said Koyama. “We have established strong political and business relationships in Egypt and have seen the Egypt-Japan relationship become more robust over the years.” As the chairing company for Japan-Egypt Business Council, TTC is continuing to contribute to the thriving business relationship between Egypt and Japan.

“Egypt’s economic growth is incredible,” concluded Koyama. “Exports are increasing, security is getting better and Egyptians are friendly and welcoming toward foreigners. As we look to the future, we will build on our reputation as a strong partner for Egypt.”

The company recently opened its first retail store in Singapore’s famous Takashimaya Shopping Centre on Orchard Road. Today, Meisei & Co.’s flagship store Healthy Port specializes in new product lines imported from Japan. “In Japan, stores such as Healthy Port are relatively common compared with Singapore where such products can only be purchased online,” said Meisei & Co. Managing Director Mike Kataoka.

“We found a niche in the market that we decided to explore and have successfully developed our business.” Japan is addressing issues related to its aging population.

“Japanese companies are developing a wide range of products to improve the quality of life of the elderly by making them more comfortable, mobile and flexible,” said Kataoka.

It is predicted by 2030, a quarter of Singapore’s population will be aged 65 and over — a figure very similar to that of Japan’s demographic today.

One of the leading products Kataoka has introduced to the market is the Geltron gel range of mattresses, pillows and cushions. These utilize the Japan-developed and patented Geltron ‘block-technology,’ which boasts functionality and superior support.

“We have supplied our Geltron mattresses to several hospitals and nursing homes in Singapore and have received very positive feedback,” said Kataoka.

The technology delivers support and breathability and encourages blood flow, which is essential for the elderly or infirm.

“Geltron products are available at Healthy Port and we are actively strengthening consumers’ brand-awareness of these exciting new products,” concluded Kataoka. “In the years to come, as Singapore faces the challenges of an aging population, we fully intend to supply our products to an increasing number of nursing homes and hospitals across Singapore to benefit people’s lives.”

Capricorn also has offices in Lima, Peru and Medellin, Colombia and will set up a new office in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the coming months.

Capricorn’s office in Guangzhou is dedicated to quality-control to ensure products are tested before they are shipped to Chile. “We support many large South American companies with offices in China who ask us to support them in monitoring suppliers from a quality and delivery perspective,” explains Argy. “We share our expertise and experience in China while connecting Chinese companies to partners in South America.”

As demand for Chinese products in South America continues to increase, Argy constantly evaluates suppliers looking to serve his customers in the region. “We are planning to establish joint venture projects with Chinese companies in Chile and are in discussion with large groups in China,” says Argy. “Today, Chinese companies are being encouraged to enter international markets and to import more foreign products into China. In both cases, they need international partners and we can fulfill that role for them.”

With a firm strategy in place Capricorn looks set to strengthen its relationship with China. Argy concludes, “The quality of Chinese made products continues to improve. In the beginning, we simply imported basic raw materials – today, we import high technology products. We will continue to grow in line with the reputation and quality of Chinese products.”
