Manufacturing in the age of change. How are we able to offer value today? Taitsu is presently entering an age that sets forth a new challenge for us.
We believe that our major themes are business transition to "electronics" and to "energy conservation." The spread of electronics, spearheaded by information technology and networking, is being felt in our homes and in our cars. At the same time, efficient energy use and selection of suitable materials have become important factors in the area of environmental protection and curbing global warming. Facing such social needs, we are backed by extensive experience and expertise as a manufacturer specialized in plastic film capacitors since our establishment in 1951. In addition, we possess cutting-edge knowledge and technology we have cultivated in the area of audiovisual equipment and household appliances -- an industry that demands the latest in performance, as well as in quality and reliability. Spurred by these strengths, we are presenting new proposals in car electronics and industry applications such as IH. We intend to provide our customers with powerful support for manufacturing with greater value. Also, we believe that an important point in our services is to deliver products that are required in the required quantity and timing. We possess a global network that has been created over the years, with a fully equipped supply system covering not only Japan but also China, other Asian countries and North America. We are taking steps to upgrade our system for greater versatility in meeting the needs in each region, such as catering to the demand for custom products in Japan where leading-edge product development is taking place, in addition to upgrading the functions of centers in the network.
By taking on these new challenges, Taitsu is determined to take solid steps forward together with our customers and with society and to open new venues for the future.
