Aiming to strengthen global business base centering on Europe

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has agreed to acquire additional shares of MEDCOM Sp. z o. o., a Polish manufacturer of electrical equipment for railcars, via its wholly owned subsidiary Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. The acquisition will result in the Mitsubishi Electric Group holding all of MEDCOM’s shares.

MEDCOM designs, manufactures, sells and maintains electrical equipment for railcars and electric urban transportation, including auxiliary power supply systems, propulsion control systems and industrial power electronics equipment.
