One of the major highlights of the first fiscal half was that ball bearing production increased to its full capacity level, with the monthly production volume reaching 221 million units in August. Once some of the machines transferred from our closed production plant in England are put into operation, monthly production capacity will reach 225 million units. This figure represents the maximum output when operating at full capacity. If we were to factor in limits on overtime hours and machine maintenance, we would come up with a more conservative estimate of 210 million plus units per month. However, we were able to confirm during the first fiscal half that we would in fact be able to bring monthly production capacity up to 225 million units if we really wanted to.
While internal sales of ball bearings for HDD pivot assemblies stalled after June, we expect sales to remain steady given the strong demand in emerging markets. Working against this backdrop, we will be moving on schedule to start construction on the new plant in Bang Pa-in, Thailand which we announced earlier in order to boost production.
