Starting with the rubber-coated fabric technology we have used since the company's foundation, we have organically combined design, composites, and processing technologies to produce goods that satisfy consumers and precisely match market demands. We will continue to accurately grasp fluctuating market needs and further explore combinations (composites) while proactively incorporating fresh ideas not seen in the past to create products with even greater added value. Our engineering center, located within the Iwatsuki Plant, brings together all our engineers across business divisions, from materials development to molding and processing, dissimilar material integration, and system devices. The center enables us to strengthen our comprehensive capabilities and share information across divisions to promote rapid market introduction, which benefits society.

We will review our organization and reallocate management resources to five growth areas: next-generation automobiles, semiconductors, medical, new energy, and safety (lifesaving).

Next-generation automobiles

[Boosting our approach to the vehicle electrification market]

Semiconductor

[Expansion of liquid crystal and semiconductor businesses]

We have renovated the Odaka Plant building and established a new plant for the control department.

< Precision machining and assembly lines have been set up.>

• The plant handles the processing and assembly of structural components, mainly for liquid crystal and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
• It has enabled precision machining in a constant temperature-controlled environment.

Medical

[Enhancing our medical businesses]

We have enhanced production in the clean room at the Haramachi Plant.

< Equipment > Oxygen concentrator industry, artificial heart-lung machine industry, dialysis machine industry
< Materials > Molded silicone rubber products, single-use products, check valves

New energy

[Enhancing the development of liquid detection sensors]

Safety (lifesaving)

[Development of an improved internal storage-type lifesaving buoyant apparatus]

We have developed an improved 25-seater lifesaving buoyant apparatus and fixed-type slider products ahead of time.

• The height when positioning the apparatus is 1.2 m–1.5 m, and the auxiliary rail functions as an escape slider.
• The apparatus is oval shaped, with an emphasis on its ability to move along the ship's side and ease of transfer.
• The apparatus is reversible and can be used as is, even when inverted.
• Thermal insulators are required to keep out water and the cold because the apparatus does not have a canopy.

We will actively allocate funds to other areas, work to transform our business portfolio, and extensively consider M&A and collaboration with startups and university research institutions to create synergies in the future.

As part of our corporate philosophy, we have established a "Quality Control Policy" and will strive to be a trusted company by providing products that satisfy our customers with all employees acting in accordance with this policy. Our policy extends beyond the quality of our products. We are working to improve the quality of all our operations, including better services, stable quality, faster technological development, and lower costs, to gain even greater trust from our customers.

1. We are committed to contributing to society by delivering superior products, adhering to our quality-first philosophy, and ensuring consumer-focused services and product safety.
2. We strive to provide products that satisfy our customers every time.
3. We maintain the effectiveness of our quality management system and drive continuous improvement through actions to achieve our goals.
