Kowa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. aims to improve the quality of life for elderly people and contribute to a sustainable society through the development, manufacturing, and sales of care products and welfare equipment. Under the medium-term management plan that began in February 2025, the company has established three strategic pillars to respond to changing external conditions.

First, the company is advancing transformation and expansion of its existing business. In response to the growing elderly population, it is strengthening product differentiation and proposal capabilities tailored to different use cases. The company is promoting comprehensive solutions through the launch of the new walker "Zista" and the expansion of related product lineups.

Second, the company is improving operational efficiency. It is standardizing operations and reviewing approval workflows to accelerate decision-making. Additionally, the company is focusing on creating a more comfortable workplace, achieving reductions in overtime hours and improvements in paid leave utilization rates.

Third, the company is redesigning brand value. It has launched a new brand "AURULA," developing products that combine emotional appeal with functionality. The company aims to create products that prioritize individuality regardless of age or physical condition.

Through these initiatives, Kowa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is working toward evolution as a "life value creation company" and striving to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term.
