- Calsonic Kansei to Be Real “Partner” for All Customers -

Calsonic Kansei Corporation, a leading Japanese automotive parts supplier, will participate in “Auto Shanghai 2019” -- the 18th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition -- to be held in Shanghai, China, from April 18 to 25, 2019. Details of the company’s exhibits for the automobile fair are introduced here.

Prior to the exhibition, Calsonic Kansei pledges to continue to be a real “partner” for all customers in order to further enrich people’s “mobility life” as an independent Tier 1 supplier with a worldwide network.

At Auto Shanghai 2019, Calsonic Kansei will showcase solutions centering on two spheres -- cabin innovation and energy management -- and propose them as a real “partner.”

In the cabin innovation area, Calsonic Kansei will present solutions as a comprehensive cabin system integrator, including “Human-Max Cabin,” a concept model designed to maximize the empirical value of each travel by car.

In the energy management area, the company will show images to explain the concept of energy management that Calsonic Kansei conceives of, as well as specific solutions.

Furthermore, a McLaren Racing Formula One car for which Calsonic Kansei is an official supplier will be exhibited at the Shanghai automobile fair. Calsonic Kansei will present its dedicated passion for motorsport activities while showing images.

Content of exhibits at Auto Shanghai 2019 (The 18th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition):

Cabin Innovation
“Human-Max Cabin,” the cabin of the future which Calsonic Kansei is aiming for, considers persons to a maximum extent and offers empirical value exceeding expectations. “Cabin of my own,” the most comfortable space provided for the driver, will be realized by improving personalization functions. This is achieved by integrating Calsonic Kansei’s interior, electronic and air-conditioning units.

Energy Management
Calsonic Kansei is aiming for comprehensive energy management by using a wide range of heat-related technologies and products such as air-conditioning systems, heat exchangers and exhaust systems centering on the heat-exchange technology developed by the company over the years, as well as power electronics technology based on the company’s status as the world’s largest inverter producer. At the exhibition, Calsonic Kansei will use images to introduce the concept of energy management envisioned by the company and four specific solutions in an easy-to-understand manner.

Motorsports
In the development of motorsport products, Calsonic Kansei has been pursuing the highest performance under grueling race conditions, paving the way for creating product value of mass-produced items. At the forthcoming exhibition, a McLaren Racing Formula One car for which Calsonic Kansei has been supplying heat exchangers since 1992, will be displayed. Calsonic Kansei will use images to show visitors the technologies it has developed as well as loftier challenges it is to take on.

On assuming the post of CEO
I was born and grew up in Germany, but I consider myself a global citizen. I have more than 30 years of experience in the world’s automotive industry and I am excited to continue this career now with Calsonic Kansei.

I am deeply honored to have been appointed such a big role as CEO, and at the same time I feel a heavy responsibility. To fulfill the responsibility, I intend to develop our business by making use of my own experience, personal connections spreading throughout the world and technological expertise on future developments. I am proud to be able to pull the company toward a wonderful future as head of the team.

Future vision and strategy
Calsonic Kansei already has a lineup of world-class products. It is important to determine in what fields we want to compete based on the product lineup. Currently, the automotive industry is going through a crucial period of change. There are a broad range of fields which Calsonic Kansei should enter using new technologies such as autonomous driving, electrification, connected cars and car sharing. To do this, we need to think about new products that can be used for various applications. In all fields where we are providing world-class products, new technologies, new generations and new values…I would like to concentrate on what we can provide to this industry.

What Calsonic Kansei has achieved over the last 10 years has certainly been based on our great people whose culture and know-how were brought into the growth of the company. I would like to set out to make Calsonic Kansei a truly global company by hiring people who will help us to build a diversified team that can really act on a global scale while leveraging our strength of excellent employees who have deep knowledge of the automotive business.

Life in Japan from now on
I know Japan from many trips. So I know it’s a great, beautiful country. I’m really looking forward to getting a little bit more insights into the culture, meeting a lot of people and admiring the nature of this country. I’ll be pretty busy with my business, but I’m really looking forward to enjoying the part of the new adventure as well.
