President's Message

The environment surrounding the Company is a mixture of both positive and negative elements, including companies’ advancement of AI-driven transformation (AX), the impacts of climate change, geopolitical risks, and fluctuations in the global economy. Even amid such changes in the environment, under our management philosophy of “Developing original products and creating a new culture to contribute to society,” we view changes as opportunities for growth and are working to deliver new value to our customers.
In the fiscal year ended June 20, 2026, the second year of our 11th Medium-Term Management Plan, we have worked to strengthen our existing businesses, while steadily pursuing three fundamental policies, namely “expansion into the service business,” “expansion of the lifestyle field,” and “strengthening of overseas business.” In the service business, we entered the online printing services market, which continues to grow, with the launch of our internet-based printing service “TEPLABO.” In the lifestyle field, we advanced initiatives aimed at driving growth across our Group companies, including rebranding efforts and the expansion of our year-round merchandise. In the overseas business, with a focus on China and ASEAN, we advanced market-driven product development tailored to local needs and achieved approximately 10% growth in overseas sales compared with the fiscal year ended June 20, 2024.
The fiscal year ending June 20, 2027, as well as being the final year of the 11th Medium-Term Management Plan, is a milestone year marking the 100th anniversary of the Company’s founding. By steadily executing our various initiatives around the theme of “Taking the wave of social change as an opportunity to move toward new growth,” we will build the foundation for sustainable growth toward the next 100 years.
