NABCO Company, a Nabtesco Corporation was awarded one of the most prestigious projects from the ITO Joint Venture (comprising of Italian Thai Development PLC. Takenaka Corporation, and Obayashi Corporation.) NABCO will install the "CircleStar Duo" Revolving Door Systems and their peripheral accessories at Suvarnabhumi (Bangkok) International Airport. The new airport buildings are being constructed by New Bangkok International Airport Co., Ltd., and are scheduled to open in July of 2005.

The "CircleStar Duo" is a combination of sophisticated look, safety and state-of-the-art control technology. There is no better system available in the marketplace other than these revolving door systems for the prevention of "draft" caused by external wind and air pressure. "CircleStar Duo" is the ultimate solution to energy conservation. The "CircleStar Duo" can be used safely and conveniently in any public place. Twenty-six sets of "CircleStar Duo" are going to be installed in these buildings at a total estimated value of 400 plus million yen. The shipments of these products are in progress since 2004 and the installation will be completed soon for the opening of the new airport.

The new airport is located 25 km east of Bangkok and has an area of 3,200 hectares. It is expected to accommodate 30 million passengers annually. Following future expansion, passengers are expected to rise to 100 million. The expanded airport will be the largest in Southeast Asia. The airport buildings have been designed by Murphy/Jahn, Inc. (U.S.A.), bearing the concept of artistic integration of modern technology and Thai traditional culture. In accordance with the demands for function, reliability, and advanced designs of the "CircleStar Duo" we strongly believe that it is our past performances that have given us the edge against major competitors.

As a leading manufacturer of automatic door systems in Japan, NABCO enjoys about 50% of the market share. To date, we have successfully participated in other large-scale overseas projects, including Beijing Airport, Pudong Airport, and Incheon Airport. The new Suvarnabhumi (Bangkok) International Airport has now offered us the opportunity to aim for further expansion of our overseas markets.
