The business growth strategy is divided into two categories: core businesses and priority businesses. In core businesses, the company is expanding sales of high-value-added A-brand series taps, its founding product, targeting a 40% global market share.

It is promoting integrated and labor-efficient production systems through the introduction of proprietary machinery and equipment, building a flexible and resilient business foundation in response to labor shortages.

In strengthening its management foundation, the company positions sustainability as a key strategic pillar. The company aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% compared to fiscal 2024 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, pursuing a resource-circular society through reduced electricity consumption via operational improvements and increased use of renewable energy. On the financial and capital policy front, in addition to growth strategies for existing businesses, the company will continue aggressive growth investments including M&A, reduce the cost of shareholder capital through shareholder returns and investor relations activities, and enhance capital efficiency to achieve ROE exceeding 10%.
