Because YAMASHIN will change its
financial term from Oct-Sep to Apr-Mar, we are very busy
creating a new strategic business
plan. When making a business plan, it's very important to make
our company’s "Dreams and
Ambitions" clear.
Even though some feel that big dreams
for business are sometimes ludicrous, I believe "Dreams
and Ambitions" are part of a
propulsive force that proactively achieves business goals.
Below I have explained what my
“Dreams and Ambitions” are for YAMASHIN.
"Contribution towards society through Filter Business"
is our corporate philosophy.
Yamashin started in 1948 and since then we have satisfied our
customer's requirements faithfully
under this philosophy. In this period
we have improved our filtration technology,
production, and engineering steadfastly and efficiently, and we
have risen to achieve a top market
share of hydraulic filters in the global construction machinery
market.
Although we are proud to have
achieved this, we must always continually put our focus on the
future and strive to expand our
business.
The best filtration technology and quality required in the
hydraulic filter market are found in the
fields of aerospace, nuclear energy,
space development etc.
Quality is very strictly controlled in these industries.
To my deep regret, the main bulk of these industries are found in
the USA and Europe.
They won't use Yamashin Filter or any filters made in Japan, due
to the status and position of
Japanese manufacturers in these industries are not held as highly
in esteem as manufacturers in
America and Europe are.
In the near future Yamashin will be a filter manufacturer not only
in construction machinery
market but also in the fields of aerospace, nuclear energy and
space development.
Furthermore, we will improve our filtration technology and
production engineering, and we will
be a filter manufacturer to be relied
on in all industries. "Contribution towards society through
Filter Business" means being the
top manufacturer in the world.
The other day a "Kick-off-Meeting" toward the public
offering of Yamashin stocks was held
at Yamashin’s head office with Nomura and Pricewaterhouse
Coopers Japan.
I think a public offering is one of the key steps of the growth to
moving forward.
We will improve our administration system, make the public
offering, and invest in new facilities
and R&D, with the goal of becoming the #1 filter
manufacturer in the world.
I ask for your special support and cooperation during this time.
Though our filter market is not too big, we will make an earnest
effort to be the #1 filter
manufacturer in the world.
I will incorporate this "Dreams and Ambitions" into the
new business plan.
I hope for your continued patronage and support for YAMASHIN-FILTER
Group.
Thank you.
Atsuhiko Yamazaki
President
YAMASHIN-FILTER Corp.
