As we welcome the new year, I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings for the season.
I deeply appreciate your support throughout the past year and sincerely wish you health
and success in the year ahead.
In 2025, amid major shifts in the global economy and the rapid advancement of AI
technologies, the Komori Group has continued to embrace change and take on new
challenges, steadily generating tangible results. Centered on strengthening our core
businesses and expanding growth areas, we advanced initiatives such as productivity
enhancement through Smart Factory pilot programs, reinforcement of our service
framework in Japan and overseas, and organizational transformation through global talent
development. At China Print 2025, an international trade show, we presented solutions
that integrate productivity improvements through automation and labor savings, earning
an outstanding response from visitors.
This year, under our corporate purpose — Delivering Kando “beyond expectations” by
contributing to society with print technology — we will unite to advance our four business
domains, further enhance our competitiveness in the global market, and contribute to
improving our customers’ profitability.
In the offset printing business, we will continue to advance environmentally friendly
technologies and drive productivity innovation through our Smart Factory concept,
strengthening our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions. In the service division, we
are enhancing customer support capabilities by launching a new contact center in Japan
and beginning operation of a global help desk overseas.
In the digital printing business, demand for solutions that deliver both speed and quality
continues to grow. To meet these needs, global deliveries have begun for the J-throne 29,
our state-of-the-art B2-size UV inkjet digital printing press. We will continue working to
expand sales worldwide.
In the security printing business, we are increasing our market share in banknote printing
systems, including orders received from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing for
U.S. dollar banknotes. Leveraging KGC-S (Komori Global Center – Security) located at
the Tsukuba Plant, we will expand beyond banknotes into new security printing fields,
delivering safety, security, and trust to countries around the world.
In the PE (Printed Electronics) business, we are advancing the development of thin-film
coating technologies that enable higher productivity in next-generation devices
manufacturing, including perovskite solar cells, while also building an environment that
promotes open innovation.
As we enter the final year of our 7th Medium-Term Management Plan, we will pursue
further growth guided by three pillars:
sustainable growth and improved profitability, strengthened competitiveness in the global
market, and the creation of a self-directed organization built on diversity and autonomy.
By embracing diverse cultures and values, and by ensuring that each employee thinks,
learns, and acts proactively, we will navigate an era of rapid agile change and deliver new
value to both our customers and society. We kindly ask for your continued guidance and
support throughout the year.
