CEO Message
Thank you for your visiting KYOWA’s website.
Our corporate vision at KYOWA is “providing safety to people and society, together with our customers, and creating a secure future through our measurement technologies.” For over 75 years since our founding in 1949, we have been tackling technical challenges and requests from a wide range of customers both in Japan and around the world through measurements, with “strain gages,” the first commercialized strain gage in Japan, as one of our core technologies. Through this, we recognize that working alongside our customers in achieving safety in our daily lives and across society is our raison d’être; accordingly, our Group companies work together to continually refine our reliable measurement technologies, providing these to our customers as a variety of measuring instruments, sensors, measurement systems, and services.
Society is transforming at an unprecedented pace and its values are growing more diverse. Amid these changes, the corporate and management philosophies that we have valued and kept consistent since our founding include the company creed, “The best company, rather than a big company,” and the principles of “modesty, integrity, and endeavor.”
In 2021, we established the “KYOWA WAY,” which summarizes, as common values, attitudes and behaviors that should be familiar to and shared by all of us at the KYOWA Group. This will enable us to keep aspiring toward embodying our company creed and principles as an ideal, as well as deepening our understanding of them and practicing them as more familiar concepts.
Through mutual dialogue (conversations that help us understand each other) with each and every one of our employees, we can connect even more strongly with others and share and agree with the significance, purpose, and goals of our work. By doing so, we recognize the raison d’être of the KYOWA Group, and accordingly, will continue to refine our reliable measurement technologies, increase job satisfaction among employees, and further enhance our corporate value in future. At the same time, we will continue to work with our customers to achieve the safety of people and society and contribute to the creation of a secure and sustainable future through our measurement technologies.
