Kobelco Construction Machinery are of course engaged in the business of creating and manufacturing high-quality construction machinery. But in addition to these tangible products, we are also in the business of providing intangibles: solutions and services that address the abovementioned changes and themes. Let us continue to be a company that stands by our customers with offerings both tangible and intangible.
In order to do this, it is essential that we respond to emerging fields in manufacturing. This will involve not only optimizing our investments of limited management resources, but also working to bring about even greater innovation by actively promoting cooperation among industry, academia, and government as well as collaboration with various partners, instead of doing everything within the company.
