Message from the President
Undergoing transformative growth to achieve 'Our Vision 2030'
Kurimoto, Ltd. President
Kazutaka Kikumoto
In February 2025, we celebrated Kurimoto's 116th anniversary.
To all our stakeholders, who encompass our customers, shareholders, partnering financial institutions, suppliers, and employees, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your unwavering support.
Against the backdrop of weak yen and inflation, the business environment remains challenging, with rising costs for raw materials, energy prices and transportation. Regardless of the era, in order to continue business and generate profits, I believe it is vital to go beyond "adapting to environmental changes" and take the next step by "changing the environment ourselves".
2024 marked the start of a new three-year medium-term management plan. We have designated these three years to be a time of transformative growth preparation period towards achieving 'Our Vision 2030'. We will unite as Team Kurimoto to foster knowledge, raise awareness and actively address management challenges.
This fiscal year, we will promote business optimization by reviewing business portfolios and make steady progress in the initiatives that we started in the previous fiscal year, such as diversity, improved functionality of back-office departments, and efforts towards digital transformation (DX).
In the spirit of "four-way satisfaction" adding "good for the future" to the Omi merchants' management philosophy of "three-way satisfaction" ("good for the seller" "good for the buyer" and "good for the society"), we continue to build a Kurimoto Group that contributes to society. Please look forward to a Kurimoto Group that pushes into new areas, both now and in the future.
