One of Japan’s largest private
companies sets up base in Jafza
CBC, the world's largest producer of closed circuit
television (CCTV) lenses and the manufacturer of
CCTV cameras, celebrated the expansion of their
business in the region, through the opening of their
new office in Jafza (Jebel Ali Free Zone).
The inaugural celebration, that took place at Park
Hyatt Dubai recently, was attended by Ibrahim Al
Janahi, Senior Vice President, Sales, Jafza, Mr.
Kobayashi the Consul General of Japan, and Mr.
Masataro Doi, son of CBC President and heir
apparent.
By developing new projects and areas within the
company, Masataro Doi, has played a vital role in
CBC’s global expansion, particularly in the Middle
East. Speaking about the expansion, he said: "The
Dubai office is CBC’s newest branch. Currently, we
are in the CCTV sales and chemical trading business
in Dubai, but we are soon going to expand to other
products as well."
CBC started as a trading house for chemical products
in the 1925. It has broadened its spectrum and added
new products to its range of offerings. The company
also has manufacturing capabilities for several of
its different sectors.
CBC Group’s security products sector, represented
mainly by CCTV lenses and cameras enjoys a
predominant market share internationally with its
CCTV lens sales occupying a 30% share.
CBC, one of the biggest private companies in Japan,
has four manufacturing businesses, with eight
overseas factories, producing CCTV security and
surveillance products, Mobile & PC secondary
fabrication, medicine for Pfizer, Merck, Takeda.
Additionally, the Group also includes an automobile
business that provides interior parts to Toyota and
Honda.
In his comment on these facts, Mr. Kobayashi said:
"I feel genuine challenging spirits in CBC’s
development strategy. This fighting spirit together
with its long history is making the company very
competitive. This is the proof of a good company
with high potential in the future."
Speaking at the event, Ibrahim Al Janahi, said: “CBC
Group, with an annual turnover of $2 billion and
more than 80 years of international experience,
ranks among Japan’s leading business conglomerates.
The company has excelled in all its product
categories over the years in the countries it
operates in and has even been selling its products
in the Middle East, though on a smaller scale, for
over 10 years. Jafza is pleased to welcome such an
established company to its community. The opening of
this new office shows CBC’s commitment to this
region and also the confidence it has in Jafza as
the base for its operations in the region.”
Confirming his confidence in the capacity of the
Middle East markets, where the demand of security
cameras alone is estimated to be over US$100
million, Masataro Doi said: "We see the Middle East
as one of the world’s fastest growing markets for
security products, therefore, it is a highly
potential region for us." He added:" Security
products form one of our biggest business segments.
CBC has a direct presence in 23 countries across the
world. We are planning to introduce our entire range
of products and systems to the Middle Eastern
markets to satisfy customer needs across all
segments of security products."
Prior to the press conference, CBC held a product
seminar, where a presentation about its new product
range in 2008 was given to all their distributors
and key decision makers for security products in the
Middle East. During the seminar, CBC introduced its
latest advanced IP based Video Management System (VSoIP)
as well as its Thermal Imaging System & Radar
Detection System which are deployed in high security
areas such as airport, oil refinery, borders and so
on.
CBC systems help to monitor what is happening on the
premises efficiently minimizing the operators’ costs
drastically. CBC has a wide variety of models to
choose from, helping its customers customize
internal security and surveillance systems as per
their precise requirements.
Talking about CBC’s growth strategy Masataro Doi
revealed plans to bring Japanese Agriculture
technology into Dubai in the near future. He said:
"Food safety & traceability have been big issues all
over the world. Japanese foods such as vegetables
and fruits are of excellent quality." He added, "In
Dubai, there is a big demand for real Japanese food.
In collaboration with Japanese farms, CBC will
provide Japan-grown fresh vegetables and foods to
this market."
At the party marking the opening of the new office
of CBC in Jafza, Masataro Doi expressed his
appreciation for the support extended by Jafza
saying: "We wouldn’t have even thought of doing
business in Dubai and it would have been difficult
to operate the way we would like to, if Jafza was
not there to provide us with all the required
facilities and services." |
