CEO's Message

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all stakeholders for your continued support and patronage. In recent years, industry, society and the lives of the public have been significantly affected by a series of challenges. These include natural disasters caused by climate change; geopolitical risks; trade frictions and the human rights issues they engender. On the other hand, in order to build a strong and resilient society in which economic activities do not stop under such circumstances, various efforts are underway, including the implementation of ICT(information and communication technology) and decarbonization to preserve the global environment. All of these efforts require semiconductor evolution.

Meanwhile, the transition to a data-driven society is progressing at an unprecedented speed, and digital technologies are now used furthermore: IoT, AI and 5G are becoming more widespread, industries are growing smarter, autonomous driving is evolving, and the much-hyped generative AI and VR (Virtual Reality) is seeing real-world applications. For semiconductors, which are supporting the core of this shift, expectations for technological innovations such as larger capacity, higher speed, superior reliability and lower power consumption are limitless. The size of the semiconductor market is expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2030, followed by continued growth over the next decade or two. And we expect the semiconductor production equipment market in which we operate to grow even further.

We celebrated the 60th anniversary of our founding last year, based on our vision “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 utilizing our expertise 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 our stakeholders.
