Message from the President

AMADA will be steadfast in its efforts to achieve Long-term Vision 2030 and Medium-term Business Plan 2025.

Since our founding in 1946, we have continuously created and risen to challenges and have grown together with our customers in the metal processing industry.
As a global manufacturer of metalworking machinery supporting manufacturing around the world, we are committed not only to providing products and services but also delivering solutions. This means proposing new ways to deal with automation in response to global labor shortages and to help resolve social issues related to the environment and energy. I believe that strengthening the product lines incorporating these elements will be the driving force behind the growth of our Group. Having worked in the technology field and gained a global perspective through our overseas subsidiaries, I feel this is my responsibility.

Furthermore, in Long-term Vision 2030, which runs from fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2030, we have set management targets of ¥500 billion in revenue and 10% or more in return on equity (ROE) for the final year. We have also formulated the three-year Medium-term Business Plan 2025 covering the period from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2025, in which we have set key management indicators of ¥400 billion in revenue, ¥64 billion in operating profit (operating margin of 16%), and 8% or more in ROE. As for our strategic policy, we will work to increase our market share by expanding sales of new products that support automation and labor saving, and to improve our profit margin by developing an after-sales service business that meets customer needs. With a view to long-term growth, we also aim to expand into new business areas such as e-Mobility, medical, and semiconductors by applying the laser technology we have cultivated over the years.

In addition, we will further enhance our corporate value by focusing on non-financial targets related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
Our investments in growth will be paired with active return of profits to shareholders. In the three years of Medium-term Business Plan 2025, we will pay dividends targeting a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 50%, and maintain a dividend on equity (DOE) ratio within the range of approximately 3% to 4%.
We thank all of our stakeholders for their continued support of AMADA.
