Since our company’s founding, we have contributed to the creation of a prosperous society by providing efficient and easy-to-use products to customers in mining development and other industries that are indispensable to the development of social infrastructure. We now face environmental issues at a global scale, and future challenges will be much more diverse, encompassing not only the global environment but also labor environments and knowledge transfer issues. We will continue to build upon the foundation we’ve established as a leader in drilling technology, developing new marketing perspectives and ideas while we continue to provide original products and services that take automation and the environment into consideration, and we will contribute to the creation of a sustainable society as we work together with customers to confront the challenges we face.
