Expansion into general water treatment and environmental-related fields

「The company also aims to achieve sustainability management by proposing water treatment equipment that meets customers’ increasingly stringent water-quality requirements while reducing environmental impact and energy consumption, and by working to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for newly delivered ultrapure water production systems.」

「The company is working to meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for newly delivered ultrapure water production systems by proposing water treatment equipment that meets customers’ increasingly stringent water-quality requirements while reducing environmental impact and energy consumption, as well as wastewater reuse systems. Together with efforts to meet targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the Group’s business activities, it aims to achieve sustainability management.」

「Under these business conditions, the Group is actively pursuing research and development in water treatment and improvements in its technical capabilities, contributing to the development and advancement of leading industries centered on semiconductors. It is also further strengthening the development of products that reduce environmental impact, based on technologies developed in the ultrapure water field, and applying its ultrapure water production technologies to equipment for producing water for injection and purified water for the pharmaceutical industry, thereby contributing to health support, as it pursues business activities as a unified group toward achieving its medium-term management objectives.」

「While using the ultrapure water production technologies it has developed over many years, the Company is working through collaboration with other companies and other initiatives to secure orders in areas outside its traditional market, such as factory wastewater treatment for companies other than semiconductor- and FPD-related companies.」

「While using the ultrapure water production technologies it has developed over many years, the Company is working with other companies, including materials manufacturers and trading companies, to secure orders in areas outside its traditional market, such as wastewater treatment at factories other than semiconductor- and FPD-related companies.」

「The Company recognizes the need to strengthen its competitiveness in Asia, particularly South Korea, China and Taiwan, where sustained growth is expected, strengthen general water treatment beyond ultrapure water, expand the Group's business domains, and secure long-term, stable earnings by developing peripheral businesses.」

「However, demand for ultrapure water systems, the core of the water treatment equipment business, inevitably fluctuates with capital investment trends among the Company's major customers, semiconductor and FPD-related companies. In addition, the deterioration in business profitability resulting from declines in semiconductor and FPD prices in recent years has made the relative strength of semiconductor and FPD manufacturers increasingly apparent as they select and concentrate on their businesses. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the need to strengthen its competitiveness in Asia, particularly South Korea, China and Taiwan, where sustained growth is expected, strengthen general water treatment beyond ultrapure water, expand the Group's business domains, and secure long-term, stable earnings through the development of peripheral businesses.」

「Under these business conditions, the Group is actively pursuing research and development in water treatment and improvements in its technical capabilities, contributing to the development and advancement of the world's leading industries, centered on semiconductors and LCDs. It is also strengthening environmental-related fields, where needs have grown in recent years, based on technologies developed in the ultrapure water field, and applying its ultrapure water technologies to equipment for producing water for injection and purified water for pharmaceutical applications, thereby contributing to health support, as it pursues management initiatives as a unified group toward achieving its medium-term management objectives.」
