SEWS-CT started life in 1996 as a component division within Sumitomo Electric Wiring System (Thailand) Ltd. (SEWT). As the automobile industry’s demand for wiring harnesses increased, the need to produce wiring harness components also intensified. Thus, SEWS-Components (Thailand) Ltd. was established in May 2002 with the objective of supplying the growing market. The company’s objective was to manufacture and sell wiring harness components to its parent companies in Japan, as well as to other Sumitomo affiliated companies throughout the ASEAN region. After receiving invaluable technology transfers and technical assistance from the parent company, SEWT-CT was able to produce a complete range of wiring harness components via a highly sophisticated computerised production process.
