I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support for our business practices.

 

Global economic uncertainty is rising with the outbreak of the new conflict in Iran driving concerns over energy prices and adding to the lingering impacts of U.S. tariffs and existing geopolitical risks such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.

 

In the automotive industry, the environment surrounding our business is rapidly changing as it becomes increasingly clear that hybrid models will be the mainstream for some time and EV sales by Chinese carmakers begin to decline even in their local market.

 

Even amid such turbulence, Ohashi Technica’s commitment remains unwavering as represented in our mission statement: “Delivering better parts to those making better cars, determined to be indispensable to the automotive industry.” We are determined, all the more because of the uncertainty we face, to stand close to automotive manufacturers and other customers together to tackle new challenges as they emerge, and be a global supplier of parts indispensable for making better cars.

 

We are currently implementing our Medium-Term Business Plan: Mission 2025+2, which has entered its fifth year. As stated in the plan, my mission is to expand our business through the pursuit of economic value, while at the same time promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management that contributes to the creation of social value, thereby aiming to enhance our corporate value and to realize a sustainable society.

 

We sincerely appreciate continued guidance and support from you as our valued stakeholders.
