Investing for the Upswing RECESSION IS THE TIME FOR R&D

摘要

For Mori Seiki (www.moriseiki.com), orders for machine tools have fallen off slightly since 2007, but the company is optimistic and preparing for the economic upswing it predicts will happen sometime around mid 2010. "Now is a very good time for us to think about the future and to invest in it," said Dr. Masahiko Mori, CEO of Mori Seiki. "Companies that have been working hard up until the recession should have some reserve funds available for such investments and should be focusing on the upswing." For Mori Seiki, investing for the economic upswing includes a new state-of-the-art research and development center, several new and innovative machine designs, a new machine control system, and new pallet system software.
