During that time, our business has changed with the times: machine tool parts when the company was founded, aircraft parts during the war, reworked bicycles at the end of the war, sewing machine parts during the post-war reconstruction period, and automobile parts since the period of high economic growth.  We have inherited the DNA of our predecessors who, despite repeated challenges and failures, have transformed our business to meet the needs of society and developed the necessary technologies. With our spirit of establishment, "Aim even higher" in our mind, no matter how high the obstacles may be, each and every one of us will face the technology, take on challenges, and continue to challenge further, using our failures as a source of growth, with the desire to enhance the strength of the company.  Furthermore, in addition to contributing to society through businesses, companies are increasingly expected to address environmental and other social issues in their business activities, and we will play a solid role in this.  In line with this era of change, we will fulfill our social responsibilities by transforming our business, technology and work to meet the needs of society one by one with sincerity.
