Strategies & Mid-term Business Plan

In November 2020, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our founding. To make further leaps forward, we formulated a medium-term management plan (FY2021—FY2023) under the key phrase “Toward the Next 50 Years: Moving to a Solid Growth Stage.” During the previous medium-term period (FY2018—FY2020), our business environment underwent drastic changes due to the US-China trade friction and the spread of COVID-19. However, the outlook for the mechatronics products and precision speed reducers market, in which the Group is engaged, remains unchanged, as robust growth opportunities exist over the medium to long term. In emerging countries, we expect investments to be made in automation and labor saving in the manufacturing industry, while in developed countries, we expect further demand for industrial robots and collaborative robots to respond to labor shortages and to improve productivity.

To achieve a sustainable society and management even in the midst of changing circumstances, the HDS Group will continue to take on the challenge of developing technologies and skills that capture the changes in the environment and provide products and services that exceed customer expectation. Accordingly, while flexibly responding to short-term changes in the business environment, we will continue to implement strategies set forth in the long-term vision and medium-term management plan thereby striking a balance between proactive and defensive management strategies and enhancing our corporate value over the medium and long term.
