In order to further strengthen its global competitiveness and improve efficiency, Mitsubishi Electric has decided to consolidate its management structure by transferring its building systems business, which is mainly responsible for new installations of elevators and escalators, to a wholly-owned subsidiary primarily responsible for the maintenance and renewal of elevators and escalators.
