Investor Meeting Presentation regarding the Sartorius Intec Acquisition held on December 24, 2014

This slide illustrates the kind of synergy that will develop as a result of the acquisition of Sartorius Intec. In the area of technology and R&D, we will combine our expertise in high-precision machining with Sartorius Intec's advanced precision machining technology for scales to move on to the next stage. While Sartorius Intec now buys scale sensors called beam-type load cells from external suppliers, it can switch to Minebea load cells to create further synergy. Sartorius Intec's equipment and systems use bearings, fan motors, and many other parts and components. We can cut procurement costs by internally supplying these parts and components. We can also leverage the outstanding production capability we have gained over the years to create synergy in production and manufacturing. Finally, I'd like to touch on sales and marketing capabilities. Sartorius Intec is planning to market its products to China. We will harness the strength of our sales force to help the company make new inroads there with an eye to fulfilling the needs of the Chinese market. I noted earlier that our measuring components have not been sold extensively outside Japan. Sartorius Intec has a team that can harness its sales network to obtain the right compliance certifications for different standards. We will take advantage of this ability to get the compliance certifications Minebea needs to expand sales of its products further across the global market.
