Increase earnings through new products and activities
and thoroughly strengthening the management foundation

Four basic strategy policies

1. Achievement of the medium-term goal of 400 billion yen sales
1. Expansion of market share and Profit through New Products

In February 2023, we launched new products in approximately 80% of the main sheet metal products. Given the current environment surrounding our customers, new models are focused on increasing productivity, improving processing accuracy, and contributing to the environment. The new products have high profit margins, which is key to increasing revenue and improving profitability.

2. After-sales Service Business Enhancement

The after-sales service business is one of our strengths that is resilient to economic fluctuations and ensures stable earnings.
In the after-sales service business, we will expand the business based on five services that support customer production.

  • Customer support system

    Reconstruction of direct
    service system using DX

  • Production technology support business

    Japan and overseas

  • Factory automation

    Upgrade automation equipment and
    management functions

  • Cloud business

    Use the Cloud to provide
    support for customer
    activities

3. AGIC Utilization Strategy

We established the new AMADA Global Innovation Center (AGIC), which is our new facility for attracting customers. It is a place where customers can work with AMADA engineers to solve their current processing problems or develop a technology to enter new markets.

AGIC Utilization Strategy Solve
the Current Issues and Create the Future

  • Innovation SITE

    Experience the value that customers expect with the latest technology of the “present”Penetration of new product effects

  • Innovation LABO

    Verify the customer’s manufacturing and take on the challenge of the processing technology of the “future”Expansion of new markets

2. Starting of activities for long-term growth strategy
1. Expansion in New Areas through Laser Technology

The AMADA Group adopted and commercialized laser technology early on. In the past, our mainstay sheet metal business was focused on iron and stainless steel processing. However, going forward, we will take on the challenge of expanding our business areas targeting highly reflective materials such as copper and aluminum, as well as non-metallic materials and micro processing to be used in growth industries.

2. Strategy for Overseas Market Expansion

Our current distribution of sales is 40% in Japan and 60% overseas, but this is expected to be 35% in Japan and 65% overseas in Long-term Vision 2030. To establish the overseas supply structure to support this, we will improve costs, lead time, and inventory through local production for local consumption, while improving profitability at the same time.

Global manufacturing reform to strengthen our supply structure and improve profitability

Quick delivery system through local production for local consumption, common quality globally, cost competitiveness reinforcement, and appropriate inventory (SCM strategy) reinforcement
