Message from the President
We have entered the second half of 2025. Global interest in economic security is greater than ever as the world faces increasing geopolitical uncertainty due to the prolonged Ukraine conflict and conditions in the Middle East.
As US tariff policies and other factors contribute to complexity on the international stage, factors such as the rising cost of living and labor shortages continue to create uncertainty in the operating environments impacting business.At the same time, semiconductor demand is increasing thanks to advancements in information communications technology, the accelerating adoption of autonomous driving technology, and the growing implementation of DX/GX in society. As a result, the markets in which we operate are projected to see medium- to long-term growth.
We have started our Medium-Term Management Plan (for FY2025 to FY2027), which represents Phase 2 of our 2030 Vision. As an R&D-drive enterprise, we are guided values centered on the concept of Create and Transform, and the Vision of becoming the world’s best creator of interfaces and connecting them to the world. Under this philosophy, we will strive to become a truly global company by creating visionary technology and achieving sustainable growth. During the first year of this Plan, we will implement various measures to address the challenges we face while appropriately responding to the rapid advancements in information communications technology we are now seeing in our industry.
Today, increasing demand for generative AI is driving increased need for semiconductor mounting technology that achieves higher performance and lower energy consumption. We provide global markets with the chemical product processes that are essential to such advancements in leading-edge technology. By further enhancing our technology, we will achieve our 2030 Vision and, together with our customers, contribute to the development of global industry.
Amid a paradigm shift in society, we will work to provide sustainable resolutions to social issues by engaging in fair and honest business management. The technology we create, our corporate value, and the social contributions we make are all linked to our human capital. We will continue to position enhancing human capital as one of our highest priority management themes as we address the operational issues we must overcome to thrive in these changing times.
We will work together with our various stakeholders on repeated efforts towards what we can accomplish for the development and future of industry, and to achieve mutual growth.
We will continue to demonstrate our sincere gratitude to everyone involved in our operations and ask for your continued support and guidance.
