Contributing to safe, reliable food production and environmental protection from the viewpoint of consumers and agricultural producers |
Based on our research and development capability in the field of life sciences, we, SDS Biotech K.K. strives to contribute to a more livable environment and protect useful plants and animals.
February 2010
I am honored to announce that I have just been passed the torch of office to act as President of SDS Biotech K.K., and to take over from my immediate predecessor Mr. Takashi Shirai.
Under my predecessor, SDS Biotech K.K. became an independent company when it separated from its former parent company, Showa Denko K.K. by way of a Management Buyout (MBO) in March 2005.
Since then, we have successfully established ourselves as a fully independent company. Our endeavors in this respect were justly rewarded in December 2008 and December 2009, when we were respectively listed on the Japanese Jasdaq Securities Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In the days and months ahead, in order to contribute towards further growth, we, as a company, intend to shake up the status quo within our industry, all the time keenly aware of our responsibilities as a publicly-traded company.
We judge the importance of a company not by its size but by its quality. I believe a company the size of SDS able to carry out its operation flexibly, quickly and appropriately in order to correspond to changing market circumstances.
So, how can we improve the quality of the company and yet remain competitive? Two important admonishments in our Company Action Guideline are "Be Close to Customers" and "Be More Creative".
In order to respect these credos we must first be open and receptive to the demands and wishes of our clients and customers; we must be able to anticipate and recognize future trends. More importantly, we must be able to enthusiastically convert these insights into new products and services that display our technological innovation and competence and then bring these items to market.
Our unrelenting advance towards an ever improving company will be the key, I believe, to enhance the company’s quality and reputation and will help us build up our unique attractiveness and preeminence among our peers.
In short, we will always endeavor to be a company that exceeds expectations.
On behalf of everyone at SDS Biotech, I look forward to your continued support and encouragement in the years to come.
