Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is looking to strengthen the factory robot supply chain in China, Chief Financial Officer Kuniaki Masuda told Nikkei on Tuesday.
According to Masuda, Mitsubishi Electric wants to work more with local businesses and is considering partnering up with some Chinese firms. The deals are envisioned to be closed by March 2026.
The move comes as United States President Donald Trump aims to boost the US' position on the global scene by resorting to protectionist policies.
