Let me begin by expressing my deep appreciation for the continued support and exceptional kindness we have received, thanks to which HAMA Corporation has reached the 60th anniversary of its founding in April 2017. Throughout these 60 years, though we faced adverse market conditions, we have been able to continue operating with relative stability. I offer my earnest and heartfelt thanks to everyone including those whom we have worked with for their warm support. Our company will continue to push forward as a united body for the next half-century as well. Treasuring the harmony between our contributions to society, the permanence of our corporation, and the happiness of our employees, HAMA Corporation will proceed to lay a framework which allows us to proactively foster excellent human resources, develop new products, and invest in start-up businesses. In addition, we will make every possible effort to streamline and rationalize our operations, improve the efficiency of our assets management, and strengthen our financial standing. We will continue to thoroughly enforce the basics of the industry and honest business operations within our company. Additionally we will face this critical juncture marked by our 60th anniversary as a new starting point with our company management and employees diligently endeavouring to expand the value of our company. I hope that we continue to receive your support and patronage in the future as well.

President Kyoko Ozaki
