Recently, we were notified of fraudulent facsimiles sent using the Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. name. The fraudulent facsimile provides the recipient an invitation to advertise in the “Industrial World Business” magazine. Please note that these facsimiles have not been sent by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. and they are in no way connected to the Group. If you do receive a facsimile of this nature, please do not respond and immediately dispose of such communication. Thank you.
