We would like to extend our best wishes for the New Year.
Last year was a year of changes that directly affected our daily lives, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the sudden fall in the value of the yen. In these turbulent times, the world is expected to require even greater change. Amid these changes in the world, last year was also a year of major change for our company, as we became independent from Bridgestone Corporation and launched as a new company specializing in urethane products.
Our company's purpose and vision is to "spread comfort in every situation around the world," and we are determined to achieve our mission of "exploring the possibilities of chemical materials to create memorable comfort," and all employees have worked together to build a solid foundation for company operations.
This year will be a year of further evolution based on the foundation that has been built since the company was founded last year. By leveraging our strengths, "evaluation technology that can quantify customer feedback" and "a consistent supply chain from design to processing and sales," we hope to continue to meet the needs of our customers and society this year.
Furthermore, in order to ensure that the value of the services we provide can be provided more permanently, we will also focus on contributing to the SDGs as part of our environmental efforts.
Our group places the utmost importance on building relationships of trust with our customers, and by facing challenges head-on with sincerity, we will grow together with society and our customers.
We look forward to your continued guidance and support this year.
