President message
Alliances among companies regardless of their nationalities and their core businesses have led us to the era of global competition.
The automotive industry faces drastic changes in the future due to the increasing role of information fuelled by the IT revolution and the competition to develop zero - emission vehicles to protect the global environment. What is required in this dynamic era is a new level of paradigm and quick decision making. We are determined to continue to create new values in customer satisfaction based on our two philosophies: "Everything starts from now" and "The future is here".
Thank you for being a part of the winning team.
Sincerely,
Noritada Ito
President
Taiyo Corporation
