  1. FY2024ReframedAnnual report

    「In April 2021, the Technical Sales Department was established within the Sales and Marketing Headquarters, and most Development Headquarters personnel were transferred to it. However, the structure did not become fully operational, partly because technical staff lacked the skills and adaptability needed to develop new customers. Following a change in strategy, the Development Headquarters and Sales and Marketing Headquarters are working together to strengthen new-customer development, pursue market needs and maintain thorough communication, while continuing to develop products with a customer-oriented focus that prioritizes customer requirements. In parallel with these activities, the Development Headquarters continues to promote product development for the future, aimed at the company's business several years from now.」
