We are pleased to present Wacom’s Annual Report for our 25th fiscal year, representing results
from April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008.
Our corporate vision is “creating harmony between people and technology.” We achieve this by
providing tools and inspiration to help make our world a more creative place. We’ve designed our
interface solutions to be natural to use and people-friendly, and we are proud that our pen
tablets are used throughout the world on some of the most amazing digital art, films, special
effects, fashion designs and industry projects.
As digital technology becomes an integral part of our lives, we know that intuitive, simple-to-use
interface solutions will play an increasingly crucial role. Wacom is standing on the threshold of an
exciting and rapid expansion, which will take us into dynamic new consumer markets and areas
of technology.
Today’s world is changing rapidly and dramatically. We want to take a fresh new look at this
brave new world and create solutions to enhance and enrich lives – to enable you to realize your
dreams of success and creativity. To help reach this goal, we’ve launched a new brand concept
”Open up. Sense more.“ along with the introduction of a new mid-term business plan (WP1018).
Join us and be part of this exciting stage in our development, and support us as the new Wacom
takes its first steps forward.
