2022 New Year's Day Greeting
Happy New Year.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your continued support and patronage of Nissei Group companies last year.
It has been two years since the COVID-19 pandemic began in January 2020.
Despite the discovery of new variants, the pandemic is still affecting global production and trade, causing delays and price increases.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers and appreciate their understanding and cooperation.
The current economic situation is characterized by stagflation, with rising prices and declining demand.
Experts compare it to the second oil shock, with rising gasoline prices and shortages of raw materials, including plastics and minerals.
While the pandemic is expected to end eventually, it is uncertain when the economy will recover.
The global trend is shifting towards environmental sustainability, with the automotive industry accelerating its transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
Our company must also adapt to this change and develop new products for EVs.
However, this shift will also increase competition from Chinese and other foreign manufacturers.
To stay competitive, we must not only develop EV-related products but also diversify into other areas, such as housing, infrastructure, and healthcare.
As the Chinese proverb says, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cub."
We must take bold action and make courageous decisions to achieve success.
Last year, our company underwent a significant change in leadership, with a new president and five new executive officers.
Our goal is to achieve rapid and accurate management and business improvement.
We will focus on developing young talent and increasing the number of executive officers to create a strong leadership team.
The concept of "ikigai" (finding purpose and meaning in life) is essential for our employees' growth and development.
We will continue to prioritize our customers' needs and strive to create a harmonious and sustainable business environment.
This year's slogan is "Harmony," and we will work together to achieve our goals and overcome challenges.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
