- FY2025Specific expansion into the aircraft parts fieldAnnual report
「The company is also working to enter the fastener industry, which supplies parts used in aircraft, as a field outside the automotive industry.」
The policy of expanding into fields outside the automotive industry has been made more specific by identifying entry into the fastener industry, whose products are used in aircraft parts, as a target area. - FY2024RestatedAnnual report
「We will also focus on innovative technologies and R&D in fields outside the automotive industry, including medical devices and aircraft.」
In addition to addressing vehicle electrification, the company continues to pursue a policy of expanding research and development into fields outside the automotive industry, including medical equipment and aircraft. - FY2022RaisedAnnual report
「To address these issues, we will focus on R&D into innovative technologies and products that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, using as our core technology the technologies developed and refined through machine tool manufacturing. This will include responding to the electrification of automobiles toward carbon neutrality, as well as pursuing opportunities in fields outside the automotive industry, such as medical devices and aircraft.」
In addition to the existing expansion into medical devices and other fields, the company has specified aircraft, automotive electrification and carbon neutrality among its R&D targets, broadening the scope of its expansion into other fields. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「In July 2021, we obtained a license to manufacture and market Class II medical devices, and in August of the same year obtained certification to manufacture and market designated controlled medical devices. We also began selling our own-brand powered bone surgical instrument, "μSONiC-MkⅡ."」
Following the start of OEM production, the expansion of core technologies into other fields has progressed through the acquisition of medical device manufacturing and marketing licenses and certifications to the launch of sales of an own-brand product. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「In R&D outside the grinding machine field, we worked with the Faculty of Medicine at Yamagata University on medical-engineering collaboration to develop powered bone surgical instruments, and began OEM production of medical devices under the product name "ZAOSONiC" in July 2020.」
The expansion of core technologies into other fields has progressed to the commercialization stage, with the development of powered bone surgical instruments through medical-engineering collaboration and the start of medical device OEM production. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
「We intend to make the refinement of technologies developed through the manufacturing of machine tools our core technology and work to develop products in other fields as well.」
This continues to express the intention to expand into product development in other fields based on technologies developed through machine tool manufacturing. - FY2017RestatedAnnual report
「We intend to make the refinement of technologies developed through the manufacturing of machine tools our core technology and work to develop products in other fields as well.」
This continues to express the intention to expand into product development in other fields based on technologies developed through machine tool manufacturing. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「To respond flexibly to the needs of a diversifying era and build a stronger management base, we intend to make the refinement of technologies developed through the manufacturing of machine tools our core technology and work to develop products in other fields as well.」
This is the first explicit statement of the intention to expand into product development in other fields based on technologies developed through machine tool manufacturing.
