Message from the President

Driving Transformation, Unlock the Future of Manufacturing

The AMADA Group stands at a critical turning point. Today, we are witnessing a convergence of complex factors unfolding at an unprecedented pace. These range from a declining and aging workforce to the radical evolution of AI-driven digital infrastructure, accelerating investment in GX (Green Transformation), as well as heightened geopolitical risks and increasing supply chain instability. In our customers' manufacturing sites, challenges such as labor shortages and the succession of technical expertise are becoming increasingly critical. At the same time, the technologies required to support green and digital transformations are growing more diverse and advanced. Amidst these uncertainties, we are committed to our long-term vision of 'Transforming manufacturing challenges into strategic advantages through production innovation and advanced technology'. We do not see customer challenges as merely issues to solve. We remain steadfast in elevating them into a competitive advantage for the future.

This Vision is deeply rooted in our identity, which has guided us since our founding in 1946. Over the past eight decades, the identity has been shaped through overcoming countless challenges and growing together with customers around the world. Today, as we reaffirm our founding spirit, we have defined our Mission: 'Pioneering new value to build a better future for humanity and the planet'. At the heart of this Mission are our Values, which we have upheld throughout our history: 'Innovation & the Spirit of Challenge,' 'Integrity & Fairness,' and 'Professional Growth.' The Mission and Values, derived from our Corporate Philosophy and Corporate Code of Conduct, embody the spirit inherited since our founding. I am proud to say that the Mission and Values will continue to represent the enduring passion and commitment of every member of the AMADA Group.

At the intersection of 'Vision: Responding to the era's demands' and 'Mission: Our unwavering ambition', we have defined three core values that the AMADA Group contributes to society:

Fostering a co-creation environment to jointly develop cutting-edge technologies with our customers
Providing world-class products and services aligned with each customer’s specific needs
Empowering manufacturing with automated and autonomous solutions to revitalize the shop floor

Grounded in these values and designed to drive the next stage of growth, our roadmap is the Medium-term Business Plan 2030. With our slogan 'Transform to AMADA 2030 >> For Growth Acceleration: Driving transformation toward a new stage of growth', we will complete our structural reforms to establish a solid foundation. While maintaining our core focus on product-based offerings, we will accelerate our transformation toward an integrated product and service model, and actively pursue the creation of new businesses.

Our Sustainability Strategy provides the foundation for accelerating value creation in realizing our Long-term Vision. We have identified 11 material issues (materiality) across five key areas: Reducing environmental footprint, Advancing human capital management, Enhancing total quality, Accelerating technological innovation, and Strengthening management foundations. By addressing these issues that underpin the core strategies of our Medium-term Business Plan, we aim to enhance fundamental corporate value and achieve our Long-term Vision. The targets we have set for fiscal 2030 – revenue of 520 billion yen, operating profit of 73 billion yen, and ROE of 10% or higher – represent ambitious goals. These reflect our strong commitment to building our future as a century-old company and to remain an indispensable presence in global manufacturing.

The AMADA Group will continue to address social challenges by driving innovation in manufacturing. Through close engagement with our stakeholders, we are committed to shaping a brighter future for people, society, and the planet.
