The Brother Group strives to ensure quick delivery of products that meet regional needs within the global management framework. This mission can be efficiently fulfilled through the ability to modify specifications and develop/manufacture derivative models on production lines. To embody this concept, P&H Company, which deals in home sewing machines and embroidery machines among others, set up the Product Development Branch Office at Taiwan Brother Industries, Ltd. (a manufacturing facility) to invest resources in training product development engineers in collaboration with the Product Development Department in Japan.

Specifically, design engineers recruited by Taiwan Brother Industries, Ltd. are sent to the Product Development Department of P&H Company (which is part of Brother Industries, Ltd.) for product project training via the international trainee program. Meanwhile, at Taiwan Brother Industries, Ltd., the Product Development Branch Office hosts on a weekly basis (i) education programs for engineers and (ii) workshops to learn about sewing machine mechanisms.

Other efforts include twice-a-week Chinese lessons given by Taiwan Brother Industries, Ltd.'s trainees (serving as instructors) to help Brother Industries, Ltd.'s young engineers communicate better with each other.

P&H Company remains committed to helping local engineers improve their product development abilities, thus reinforcing the global product development framework.
