2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE
Large disc grinders are the markets where Europe is main, and HITACHI products have obtained high evaluation
in power, durability and quality. However, C has supplied the low-price series of 2000 W disc grinders since 1998
posing a challenge to HITACHI's share. To compete with them, we have introduced the Model G 23SF2 series
that are far more powerful and durable than C's low-price series in 2001. However, we have a hard time with C's
more competitively priced products. To cope with this severe situation, we introduce the new G 23SR series that
are comparably priced and superior in power and durability to B and C's low-price series.
