Machinery and Information Sector
Despite a decline in the number of large-scale public
sector projects, total domestic orders edged up 2.4%
デュエルビッツ プロモーションコードen;282.9 billion. This gain was underpinned by
favorable demand in the electronics and information
fields, due primarily to the establishment of the
Digital Visual Research Institute in Kobe as part of
earthquake reconstruction activities, as well as
healthy demand for industrial and construction
machinery. Overseas, although we secured orders
for a direct reduction plant in Egypt and a cement
plant in Vietnam, orders declined 3.5%, デュエルビッツ プロモーションコードen;77.8
billion. As a result, total orders rose 1.1%, デュエルビッツ プロモーションコードen;360.8
billion. The backlog of orders at March 31, 1996,
stood at ¥250.2 billion.
Even though overseas plant sales decreased,
smooth growth in domestic plant sales, together with
increases in sales of electronic and information-
related products, construction machinery, and
cutting tools, led to a 7.4% rise in sector sales, to
¥375.8 billion, in comparison with the previous fiscal
year. |
