Started producing in Bangladesh.
We started to assemble both products, the Bicycle Water Purification System Cycloclean and the Mobile Purification System Cycloaqua at Bangladesh.
As one of our overseas strategies, we have been aiming for local assembly of products for a long time, and Bangladesh has our partner companies and good bicycle manufacturers, so we were able to establish assembly technology early with their cooperation. We supplied the core parts for both products from Japan, which were the filtration filters and the pumping device. Large reduction of cost was achieved by suppling other parts from local areas in Bangladesh, which led us to be able to supply a cost effective product to the overseas market.
