「By developing global personnel, we improved the level of sales, production and service delivery at overseas sites, promoted the “outsourcing of production engineering” to accurately capture users’ needs and wants, and advanced collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers.」

「As a result of globally promoting the “Blue Lake Strategy,” which responds swiftly to the unique needs and wants generated by each user and promotes collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers through open innovation, the company has advanced the deepening of its existing business areas and the exploration of adjacent business areas, and orders and sales are trending upward, particularly in the mobility industry.」

「In addition, through the “Blue Lake Strategy,” which promotes collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers through open innovation, the company is advancing the deepening of its existing business areas and the exploration of adjacent business areas.」

「Because this involves acting on behalf of users in their production engineering, the company must respond swiftly to the needs and wants continually generated by each user in pursuit of sustainable growth, as well as to overseas expansion. Through the “Blue Lake Strategy,” which promotes collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers through open innovation, the company advanced the deepening of its existing business areas and the exploration of adjacent business areas.」

「Going forward, we will continue investing resources in materials and device research, basic technology development, control and technology development, inspection technology development, open innovation, alliances with standalone equipment manufacturers, M&A, industry-academia collaboration and the development of global talent, while working to contribute to society and enhance corporate value.」

「We are expanding our business so that we can provide users with numerous total precision FA lines as one-of-a-kind products under the NITTOKU brand by using M&A and open innovation as needed.」

「Going forward, we will invest resources in materials and device research, elemental technology development, control and technology development, inspection technology development, open innovation, alliances with standalone equipment manufacturers, M&A, industry-academia collaboration and global human capital development, thereby contributing to society and enhancing corporate value.」

「Building on the technologies cultivated through the production of coil and motor equipment, we actively invested resources in research and development of diverse FA production lines for the core devices and modules of the aforementioned markets, human capital development, capacity expansion and the use of open innovation.」

「We are also actively pursuing the expansion of factory buildings, reinforcement of our business partner base and stronger alliances.」

「We are also strengthening open innovation and alliances with small and midsize domestic production-equipment manufacturers to expand capabilities and broaden our FA operations.」

「During the second quarter of the fiscal year, we continued to pursue strategic open innovation, including by establishing a joint research program with Nagasaki University related to control and measurement, jointly developing a small dicing wire saw with リード社, a materials manufacturer, and jointly developing multicoil production equipment for fully digital speakers with Trigence Semiconductor社, a software developer.」

「We will also use industry-academia-government collaboration and open innovation as appropriate to develop total systems encompassing equipment, production lines and global services, incorporating new technologies and ideas beyond our existing technologies and know-how.」
