In this era of globalisation and vast technological change, Omron is reaffirming its dedication to offering added value to customers by developing innovative products and services. Omron intelligent components will be the building blocks for new consumer and industrial products. Control products, systems technologies and software will form the heart of flexible, networked manufacturing lines and automation systems. Omron?s global network covers five regions: Europe, North and South America, Japan, Greater China, and the Asia Pacific. Over a quarter of a century ago Omron founded its Asia Pacific operations in Singapore to meet the needs of the region?s rapidly expanding industrial markets. Operations that initially marketed products for Omron?s Industrial Business Group has expanded to also represent the company?s Social Systems Business Group and Healthcare Division. Today the company?s regional network consists of over 2,500 employees in sales, manufacturing, technical support and research and development activities. The regional headquarters located in Singapore manages and supports activities in the region.
