My approach to the management of Yokowo has been to make it a good company.
In my mind, a good company is a business that is appreciated by its customers, business partners and local communities and an organization where every employee is happy to work for it and wants to work harder to make it better.

In the future, markets and society will change more rapidly and dramatically than ever before.
To keep Yokowo an ever-evolving company in this situation, I believe it is important to always have a broader perspective and continually take on challenges for new things while cherishing the traditions we have cultivated.

Yokowo has achieved growth by accumulating technologies internally and establishing self-sufficient manufacturing systems. To adapt quickly to changes in society and markets, we must flexibly respond to the needs of society while keeping open a wide range of options, including collaboration with external parties regarding things that we do not have.
I believe that repeatedly doing this will lead to the next phase of Yokowo's growth.

We will think about what Yokowo should be like in the future from a perspective that is different from the day-to-day execution of business. Making decisions from a long-term perspective, we will work to lay a foundation for our next growth phase.

From a good company to an even better company.

Supporting the initiatives that enable us to evolve, we will endeavor to ensure that Yokowo stays a company that is needed by society.

We kindly ask for your continued support and guidance.

Yokowo has been improving original core technologies in line with the spirit of creating what has never existed, which it has had since its foundation. In doing this, we have flexibly responded to the needs of the times and the changes in technologies, and we have provided new value to society. Today, we are centered on four businesses: Vehicle Communication Comfort and Safety, Circuit Testing Connector, Fine Connector, and Medical Device. At the same time, we are striving to cultivate new businesses at our Incubation Center to establish a multi-layered business structure enabling us to expand our business in multiple ways.

In this process, we have constructed our production and sales structures mainly in overseas locations based on technological strengths that have been developed in Japan, and we have expanded globally.

At the same time, the social environment is changing significantly. We are entering an era of high uncertainty. In this situation, I realize that it is important to fully grasp the urgency of the situation properly, and to take a stance of continually moving forward without fear of change.

In this era of change, people are the engine for progress. We will develop an environment where diverse cultures are respected and every employee can display their potential to the fullest degree. We will foster a corporate culture of taking on challenges for new things without fear of failure to further increase our operational and manufacturing strengths.

Our Purpose reads, "Be a good company by employing people and technologies that work for the benefit of society today and tomorrow." This attitude is Yokowo's foundation. It has not changed, and it will not change.

As an ever-evolving company, we will work to ensure that we continue to be trusted by our stakeholders through our continuous growth and our creation of new value.

We kindly ask for your continued support and guidance.
