Our employees in the United States embrace a philosophy of American Pride, said Mr. Takeshi Ebisu, President and CEO of Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. This is because employees are the driving force and a core value that allows us to continue as a leader in When more than 5,000 volunteers from around the world joined the 13st Annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project in October to help Habitat for Humanity build and/or repair over 100 homes in the D/FW area, Daikin North America LLC stepped up to bolster the cause.

7 DAIKIN HAS A FOCUS AND TRACK RECORD OF QUALITY Daikin s global experience is a key driver that reinforces the brand s product quality, from design to manufacturing. Product quality is enhanced through two channels: people and process controls. Daikin employees receive continuous training to ensure that they have the best skills to build outstanding heating and cooling systems. For instance, Daikin employees receive enhanced brazing training, it s the process of welding the joints for many of our heating and cooling products. This training is supported through frequent testing around skills to keep pace with current technology. Beyond training, Daikin employees use some of the most advanced manufacturing tools and technology, many developed exclusively for Daikin brand products. Another aspect of quality control is the manufacturing processes deployed. With the Daikin brand, manufacturing process controls include component scanning, sub-assembly scanning, automated controls, and many stages of in-line testing to provide the best products possible. Daikin s investments in manufacturing processes have been recognized by certification of select Daikin facilities as ISO compliant for production quality and energy management, the industry s highest distinctions for such investments. 7
