Smiles abound when we can live a rich life with peace of mind.

Global climate change, natural disasters, and the trend toward a lower birthrate and aging society in Japan are just some of the elements that cause anxiety in our lives. In addition, the world economy is becoming even more globalized and the social environment around us is changing at an ever-increasing pace.

The Achilles Group has been striving to achieve sustainable growth and create and increase corporate value under its corporate philosophy of "Putting customers first" underpins our contribution to realizing an affluent society by creating products and providing excellent services that satisfy and inspire our customers, based on a customer-focused approach. In response to the ever-changing environment, we at the Achilles Group must accelerate our efforts to create new value under this corporate philosophy.

We must further advance the product development and commercialization technology that we have accumulated since our founding, pursuing resource conservation and energy savings as we utilize information processing technology to create smarter processes.
