Foundation Corporate Data
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to investors. I am the
Casio Group’s new President and Chief Operating Officer, Kazuhiro Kashio.
My challenges are to generate growth by complementing the timepiece
business that is driving our results with stronger growth in other businesses
while building a balanced management organization.
The key to enhancing the ability of our businesses to grow is putting our
corporate creed of “Creativity and Contribution” into practice when we
manufacture products. Casio has consistently created unique and completely original products. We have astonished
people, and that is why our products are a must-have fixture of their lives. One of our roles in society is to manufacture
products that create new lifestyle value, which I believe is crucial to our long-term development.
We will continue to exceed the expectations of the Casio fans who have supported the Group by delivering products
that are unique to Casio because only we can make them. I intend to devote myself to managing the Casio Group in
cooperation with Chairman Kazuo Kashio to drive growth higher. We are counting on your continued support.
