I. Expansion of existing businesses: We will deepen the domestic market through decarbonization-related products and higher value-added offerings, and strengthen our earnings base by enhancing our technical sales capabilities to address customer needs. II. Expansion into overseas markets: We will accelerate our global expansion centered on marine exhaust-system valves and LNG valves for which we have established a domestic base, and increase the overseas revenue ratio. III. Challenge in new fields: We will create new earnings pillars and diversify our business portfolio by expanding applications for valve technology, promoting DX, and commercializing services that use IoT.」

「Under the First Medium-Term Management Plan, we are working to establish a business platform based on the policy of establishing new product development and a sales structure capable of addressing growth markets, including the clean-energy market aimed at decarbonization.

「In addition, we developed the ExV MARK II, a redesigned version of the ExV series of valves for marine exhaust systems, which has the world's largest market share. By reviewing the structure of the existing product, we achieved a more compact and lightweight design without compromising performance.」

「In addition, we obtained certification under the self-inspection system for marine butterfly valves from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), the first domestic valve manufacturer to do so, and began full-scale operation in August 2021. We also obtained the same certification from Lloyd's Register (LR), becoming the second domestic valve manufacturer to do so, and began full-scale operation in September 2021. This enables us to conduct inspections in-house and deliver products after inspection, improving operational efficiency and enabling further reductions in lead times.」
