Greeting from YUKEN

Motohiro Katagiri

Mission Statement:
Be invaluable in the protection of the global environment and the creation of new products.

Management Goal:
Move ahead confidently facing new challenges while generating innovations to improve society.

This year marks the 73rd anniversary of the founding of our company, and we truly appreciate your continued support and patronage.

Covid is finally getting under control after it raged around the world. That said, we now face a harsh market environment with inconsistent supplies of parts and raw materials and impacts from rising resource costs. Confronting these challenges, we are keenly aware of our responsibilities as a corporation in society. We continue to improve our unique and innovative surface treatment technologies, and strive to reinvent the business structures that will propel us to our 100-year mark. Our foremost priority is protection of the environment, and in so doing, we hope to improve the overall image of the surface treatment industry. In particular, we remain committed to sustainability and the development of products friendly to people and the environment. We also promote 5R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, Repair) activities in our efforts to become carbon negative.

In the automotive industry, a sector we are deeply involved with, we are witnessing a once-in-a-century transformation called CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, & Electric) play out. As the industry faces the challenges of decarbonization, we are observing rapid shifts toward electric vehicles and the change from internal combustion engines (fossil fuels) to motors (electricity). In addition, we expect to see the innovations of related technologies begin to impact all aspects of our lives. In this new world, it is essential for us to consider how we can move forward with our surface treatment technologies. We need to be aware of the changes going on, without focusing too much on the conventional automobile sector. Our agility in creating innovative products using our surface treatment technologies will help to ensure a secure place for us in future society.

Major societal changes confront us all. We want to promote harmony between society and the environment, and to play a part in solving global-scale environmental issues. To this end, our work to reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency are crucial. Furthermore, we need to respond to our stakeholders and continue to earn their trust by promoting diversity and strengthening corporate governance. And we continue promoting ESG management (Environment, Social and Governance) to fulfill our responsibilities and improve our corporate value.

Working toward a sustainable future, we strive through our business activities to realize our corporate mission and achieve our management goal. In so doing, we hope to contribute to society and fulfill our stakeholders’ expectations. We look forward to working with you, to serving your needs, and to your support of our endeavors.
