“The Company Is Its People, and The People Are What They Believe”
The current environment surrounding Japanese industry necessitates the con- tinuous creation of innovative technologies. It requires that companies transform themselves through those innovations in order to survive in the global economy. Amid this challenging environment, we at Yamamoto Manufacturing strive to maintain and improve our high standards of technology, quality and reliability based on unique production methods and know-how. Thus we adhere to the key principle that “quality is the life of manufacturing." The employees of Yamamoto Manufacturing make this principle part of their lives and devote their full effort to the pursuit of quality. As a company and corporate community, we strive always to exceed the limits of possibility.
People are the heart of any company, in any era. Moreover, people are what they believe. That is why I'm committed, under my philosophy that "The company is its people, and the people are what they believe," to the company's eternal progress and the happiness of employees by doing the best I can to encourage everyone to seek self- improvement and the highest purpose through dedication to excellence in their work.
