Since its foundation in 1967, Asahi Group has been a leading-edge company in the electronics industry in Japan. Starting with the electric cable processing, this group has created various technologies to satisfy the needs of the age, and supported the development of products relating to image processing, telecommunications and automobiles by providing key components. In this 21st century, the electronics industry is expected to develop further in a more wide rang of fields, including medical, nursing-care service, and environmental protection. To encourage this development I have tried my best as chairman to foster a pleasant working environment in which employees will always produce high-quality products and promote a spirit of innovation , with the motto,“Be strict to oneself and kind to others.”
We will keep aiming for a company management which responds to the changing global economy and industrial structures, and is conscious of the global environment and increasing global warming. We always bear in mind our group philosophy, “We should contribute to society through the integration of wisdom and sensitivity and through development of new technologies.”
