Message from the President

NGK Fine Molds views the VUCA* era as an opportunity and will continue to move forward by embracing challenge and transformation, thereby contributing to society, and realizing the happiness and well-being of its employees.

The Reiwa era is often described as an era of diversity, in which business environments and people’s values are undergoing profound change. At the same time, as it is frequently referred to as the “VUCA era,” identifying clear answers when advancing business initiatives has become increasingly difficult, while complexity continues to intensify.

As a mold manufacturer that provides plastic injection molds for automotive interior components, tire molding dies, and a wide range of mold-related parts, NGK Fine Molds has contributed to social development for many years.In this era of diversity, customer values—as well as the quality and services they demand—are becoming increasingly sophisticated and varied, and there is no single absolute solution for corporate activities. However, from another perspective, this environment also represents an expansion of opportunities to create new value.

Molds, which are indispensable to all industrial products, have a wide range of applications, and we believe there remains significant potential to give shape to new initiatives and steadily build upon them. With strict adherence to laws, regulations, and compliance as our foundation, we will fully leverage the expertise we have cultivated in both technological capabilities and sales strength to deepen our market presence and create new business opportunities. We believe that this unwavering commitment to challenge and transformation will drive corporate growth and lead to the happiness of each and every employee.

Guided by the NGK Group philosophy of “Enriching Human Life by Adding New Value to Society,” all employees share a powerful sense of purpose and move forward together, united by a common commitment to challenge and transformation. By enabling everyone to experience a sense of contribution to society through their work, we will continue to grow as a company in which all stakeholders—including employees, local communities, business partners, and customers—can find happiness.

VUCA: Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity
