Profile
Since its establishment in 1957, Casio Computer
Co., Ltd., made its mission to pursue “Creativity
and Contribution.” Casio aims to spur corporate
growth, increase corporate value, and continue
to be a highly visible and attractive company to
shareholders and customers by using ingenious
concepts and state-of-the-art technologies to cre-
ate products and services that will make the lives
of people throughout the world more enjoyable
and comfortable.
In fiscal 2003, ended March 31, 2003, Casio
introduced radical measures to strengthen its cor-
porate structure, which helped to reverse losses
from the previous term. With bold determination
to achieving our management goals, we made a
full return to profitability through our single-
minded promotion and development of our three
strategic businesses: timepieces, digital cameras,
and Mobile Network Solutions (MNS). The
Company also redoubled efforts to bolster man-
agement efficiency through the rationalization of
capital and substantial cuts to expenses related
to fixed assets and other measures.
We will make maximum use of our expertise
in core areas and have designated timepieces,
digital cameras, electronic dictionaries, and TFT
LCDs as our strategic businesses. Casio will
continue to implement measures to strengthen
its management structure and to expand busi-
ness through the development of inventive
products and the promotion of stable long-
term profitability.
