message from President / management philosophy

‘‘Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the driving force of the Japanese economy and central players in society’’, as emphasized in the preface of Small and Medium Enterprise Charter being approved by the Cabinet Meeting dated 16th June, 2010. On the other hand, ‘‘unless we change our society so that it may encourage people to redouble their efforts to start up businesses, to develop new businesses, and to make full use of creativeness and ingenuity, we will fall into a grave situation in the future. The Government hereby declares that it greatly expects leadership by SMEs in implementing change, and that it strengthens its determination to endeavor to the realization of an economic society that enables SMEs to resolutely challenge’’ as mentioned in the conclusion.

The traditional lighting industry, which used to be our main business, is getting into the growth and expansion of new light sources such as LED and organic EL with the perspective of energy saving and eco-friendly. The business environment becomes increasingly severe and we sense a crisis of ‘‘No revolution, No tomorrow’’. To be a company truly needed by the society, we aim for regrowth and thus the management philosophy and the management mission were reviewed as below.
