Promoting research and development with due consideration for the future.

At SEWS-E we believe that technology is the engine of the future and the very source of business growth.  From its origins as a copper business, our parent company Sumitomo Electric Industries has developed a wide range of technological bases.  We aim to continue to create new technologies and products with due consideration to our customers future needs.
