CEO's Message

I would like to start by thanking all our stakeholders for their constant support.

Over recent years, the arrival of generative AI has led to a dramatic increase in the utilization of artificial intelligence, with the relationships between digital technologies and our daily lives and every industry now closer than ever. Going forward, we can expect the emergence of new technologies such as agentic AI and physical AI and further developments in digital technology while the role and importance of semiconductors continue to expand. On the other hand, the spread of AI is driving demand for data centers and creating issues with increasing power consumption and CO₂ emissions. Data centers are now an important part of society’s infrastructure, so further action to mitigate global warming is increasingly required while pursuing performance improvements.

Against this backdrop, the “Digital & Green” approach, which consists of achieving both the digitalization of society and decarbonization for the preservation of the global environment, has become a global movement and a shared value. Technological innovation in semiconductors is vital to realizing this approach. In turn, the role and importance of semiconductor production equipment are increasing, so the semiconductor production equipment market in which we operate is also expected to grow considerably going forward.

Based on our Vision of “A company filled with dreams and vitality that contributes to technological innovation in semiconductors,” we aim for medium- to long-term profit expansion and continuous corporate value enhancement by leveraging our expertise as a semiconductor production equipment manufacturer to continuously create high-value-added leading-edge equipment and technical services. Our corporate growth is enabled by people, and our employees both create and fulfill company values. We work to realize this Vision through engagement with all of our stakeholders.

We look forward to your continued support and patronage.
