Lincoln Journal Star wrote:Morio Denki, a Japanese company that makes electronic components for rail transportation, will open its first U.S. operation in Lincoln by the end of the year, Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann and the company announced jointly in Tokyo. Heidemann is in Japan as part of his first Asian trade mission.
The company, which had $6 billion in revenue for its fiscal year that ended in March, has sold train component parts to Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing in Lincoln, and locating this operation near Kawasaki is a strategic move for Morio Denki, according to a news release from the office of Gov. Dave Heineman. Kawasaki makes passenger train cars in Lincoln.
Mike Boyle, Lincoln plant manager and a Kawasaki vice president, said he was pleased the company will be locating an office in Lincoln.
"Kawasaki and Morio Denki have had a long, successful business relationship. This move will further enhance inter-business communication and processes, which will greatly improve business efficiencies," Boyle said in an email.
