100 Years of History
While we are a well-established company celebrating our centenary, we are poised to continue to grow by expanding beyond Japan and engaging in larger businesses with overseas partners, mainly based in Asia. The growth of a company is proportional to the growth of its employees. Based on this, we place the utmost importance on flexibility as we seek to achieve continued growth.
