Sanyo President Ille Toshiaki Comments Haier's Power And Sanyo's Surprise
An article, "Studying Chinese Company Experience and Developing Business Strategy" based upon the interview of Sanyo president Ille Toshiaki, was published on Forbes Japan issue April 1 and following are some comments on Haier:
¡ñWhen I visited Dubai, UAE, in 2000, I saw Haier products everywhere and was surprised. Later, I was shocked when I knew that Haier exported appliances to the United States and became a powerful competitor of Sanyo. Since then, I have paid close attention to Haier's development.
¡ñI visited Haier's mould factory and was deeply impressed by the advanced machines operated there. Haier does not only have the wide channel for production machinery information, but also high level management and capability in product R&D and efficient delivery.
