For over 70 years since our establishment in 1951, we always receive continuous patronage from many customers and suppliers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I would also like to express my appreciation to our employees for being with us in this long journey. Every year, the world continues to evolve. It makes it more difficult to predict the future, even in our industry. We are required to change the conventional business model. In order to clarify our wish and path forward, I have established our new mission and vision. In contrast to a more digitized future, we place greater value on human connections and their power, in addition to the utilization of technology. We contribute to achievements that cannot be accomplished by individuals and the realization of an affluent society. We believe the challenges that arose from changes can be regarded as opportunities for new businesses and new value creation. Moreover, we will fulfill our corporate social responsibility for the present and future society through the contribution to SDGs by Eco action 21 and the eco-related business. We look forward to see the smile of our stakeholders such as our beloved customers and suppliers in our 80th anniversary, centennial anniversary and beyond. We want to continue to aspire in the future together with all employees as we strive for continuous success. Create the future with our abilities.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Representative Director, President 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　TAKAHASHI Yuichiro
