Greetings from the President
The times are currently changing drastically.
Facing this transition period, to further refine our response capabilities, backed by our 120 year history since the company’s establishment, we aim to become a business that meets the needs of the times to satisfy our customers’ expectations.
Companies are required to be ambidextrous following the rapidly changing times, and in addition to On paper Contents, an appeal for On display Contents that support Accessibility is now prevalent in our market.
We are entering a phase that requires descriptions of “matters” in addition to “things” to both the media and the public.
During our 30 years of activities overseas, in addition to Japanese companies active abroad, we have provided various forms of services to many overseas businesses and government agencies.
We aim to continue establishing ourselves as a company that can contribute to customer growth through multi-directional proposal and response capabilities through streamlined multilingual information network establishment support.
