Yokogawa Electric Corp has concluded an agreement with Degussa, a major chemical manufacturer in Germany, to be a global supplier of process-control systems for plant automation.
The Yokogawa products and services covered by this new agreement include the company's Centum CS 3000 integrated production control system hardware and software.
Degussa is a multinational company that provides a wide variety of specialty chemicals.
Major world-class chemical manufacturers have been facing the need for cost reductions owing to the current trend toward market globalisation and high-variety production.
To meet such needs while maintaining quality at a high level, there is an increasing tendency among such manufacturers to move away from treating key equipment suppliers as mere vendors, opting instead for an approach whereby these suppliers are designated in advance and work closely as a business partner.
It is this approach that Degussa is taking with the introduction of its process control systems.
Teruyoshi Minaki, Director and Executive Vice-President at Yokogawa's Industrial Automation Business Headquarters, says: "Yokogawa has provided Degussa with a total of 41 systems".
"Degussa has given an excellent rating to Yokogawa's general competence in such areas as product reliability, technology and global support systems, and this has been a key factor in the German company's choice of Yokogawa as a preferred supplier".
"This partnership agreement will be an important step in the improvement of the process automation activities of Degussa", stated Dr Joachim Dutschke, Degussa's Vice President of Technical Procurement: "Yokogawa's contribution by providing highly efficient products and full support from its global organisation to Degussa's worldwide facilities is strongly anticipated".
Yokogawa has already won similar contracts for control systems from leading international chemical, oil, pharmaceutical, and engineering companies.
This latest success with Degussa is another proof that Yokogawa occupies a key position in the international market for control systems, and this is leading to a succession of contracts with other European-based chemical manufacturers.
