「Through collaboration among the companies of the Yashima Denki Group, we will use our engineering capabilities to capture customers' green transformation (GX) investments, digital transformation (DX) investments and business transformation investments, resolve social and customer management challenges, and expand our business scale while contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.」

「We determined that concentrating our management resources on the engineering business in the Group's operations, which mainly serve the steel, oil and railway industries, would further strengthen our earnings power. Accordingly, we entered into an agreement to transfer all shares of 八洲電子ソリューションズ㈱, which operates the electronic devices and components business, to TACHIBANA ELETECH CO.,LTD. for ¥530 million, and completed the transfer on 1 April 2020.」

「As a result, sales in the electronic devices and components business amounted to ¥5,294 million, down 6.5% year on year, but operating profit rose 10.7% year on year to ¥195 million as a result of focusing on developing projects for display equipment and the software outsourcing business.」

「As a result, sales in the electronic devices and components business amounted to ¥3,601 million, down 0.3% year on year, but operating profit rose 24.7% year on year to ¥112 million as a result of focusing on IoT-related products.」

「In industrial equipment, sales remained firm as a result of focusing on investment projects related to labor saving and identifying latent customer demand, despite continued year-on-year declines in many fields amid weak demand and cautious production plans.」

「We provide semiconductor and embedded software development, EMS, and solutions for the predictive maintenance of production lines and equipment using IoT and AI.」

「We focused on investment projects related to labor saving and workforce reduction and IoT-related fields, and sales remained firm.」

「In addition to promoting technical sales to enhance engineering capabilities at each EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) phase, we have positioned the company-wide rollout of information technology and company-wide promotion of new energy as pillars of the 14th Medium-Term Management Plan, and will seek to improve our comprehensive technological capabilities.」
