Based on the outlook that the HDD market will remain flat, we have been stepping up our efforts, since January, to increase sales of ball bearings to markets we were unable to focus on when we were too busy supplying products to the HDD market.
These efforts paid off in April's record high external sales volume but we're not done yet since we still see room for further sales growth.
We will also continue to focus on what we at Minebea call A&A, our acquisition and alliance strategy, in the machined component business. The acquisition of APB's business assets, which we announced yesterday, is part of that A&A strategy.
After moving to our new Tokyo Head Office building, the Tokyo Research & Development Center, which was designed to boost sales of hybrid components, has gotten off to a running start and is now in full swing operation. I look forward to the Tokyo Research & Development Center playing a central role in developing hybrid components as it harnesses our technological strengths from across the organization to make inroads into markets for high value-added products.
In light of the changing market conditions I talked about earlier, we intend to focus on our unique motor products about which I will go into further detail later on.
