This performance was thanks to each operations’ efforts to advance measures steadily in accordance with the plan and rigorously discover what customers really need. In the current fiscal year, the plan’s second year, we will proactively advance measures to tackle several tasks that we were unable to finish in the first fiscal year. At the same time, we will accelerate efforts to develop and offer new products.First of all, we view rebuilding overseas subsidiaries that are unprofitable as urgent task. Last year, we began radically rationalizing the management of MADICO, INC., and its figures are beginning to reflect the benefits of this effort. Further, PT. LINTEC INDONESIA has been recovering since a labor issue lowered its production volume, and we will con-tinue improving the company’s profitability. Also, we are taking various steps to rapidly create synergy benefits with MACTAC AMERICAS, LLC, acquired in 2016. These steps include introducing personnel to the subsidiary.Meanwhile, markets in Japan in which we offer adhesive products for labels and products related to construction materials and automobiles do not have high growth rates. Nonetheless, these are still large markets. We will heighten the profitability of products—even if they are existing prod-ucts—by thoroughly analyzing how to increase profit based on the ways we sell, manufacture, or handle them. Further, with our sights set on the plan’s final year and beyond, we will plan and offer new products and ideas to unearth demand.Other new initiatives include our launch of the SDGs Committee in February this year with the aim of helping address social issues through mainstay operations. Naturally, environmental measures are an important focus for us as a manufacturer. In my capacity as the officer in charge, I also intend to create new businesses that contrib-ute to the realization of non-environmental SDGs.A Message from the Executive General Manager, Business Administration Div.Makoto Hattori Director, Managing Executive Officer,Executive General Manager, Business Administration Div.
