Contributing to global manufacturing and pursuing sustainable corporate value improvement under a new management structure
Founded in 1948 as a trading company specializing in machinery, the Company’s pioneering spirit of discovering value in various things and creating new value has been passed down to the present day. In keeping with this spirit, we have expanded our business by delivering value to manufacturing sites worldwide. In industrial machinery sales, which we have handled since our founding, we have earned solid market recognition as a reliable industrial machinery supplier through our extensive achievements, expertise, and credibility built over many years.
Meanwhile, with the evolution of manufacturing and the resulting shifts in customer needs, our business has significantly expanded to offer total solutions, including engineering. In a rapidly changing business environment, we set new growth goals in 2022 and established a vision to become a “next-generation engineering trading firm” that aims to grow alongside our customers and contribute to creating a sustainable society.
While our performance has consistently improved under this vision, we have made changes to our management structure to accelerate this progress. Starting in fiscal 2025, we will operate under a company with an Audit & Supervisory Committee to enhance management transparency, while also strengthening management with a Chairman (CEO) and President (COO) structure. Additionally, we have appointed two officers responsible for business operations and one officer in the Corporate Division as newly established CSOs. In this framework, the President oversees general business execution, supported by three CSOs and one CFO, while I, as Chairman, guide the company’s direction from a broader perspective.
This is a first for DJK; however, the division of roles and the course we should take are both clear. I am confident that we can effectively advance corporate growth and contribute to solving social issues through our business activities.
Reflecting on my time as President, what stands out most is the honor of being invited to groundbreaking and completion ceremonies for plants by numerous customers. While there is joy in witnessing the fruits of our employees’ efforts, what resonated with me anew on such occasions is that our development stems from our customers’ business development. Our mission is: “Connecting People, Connecting Technology and Enriching the World.” With this firmly in mind, we strive to contribute to global manufacturing and enhance our corporate value sustainably.
