Thank you for your continued support.
Asahi Printing has reached the major milestone, the 150th anniversary.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone that has continued to support our company over the years.

Since Asahi Printing was founded in 1872, we have been developing and expanding our business as a top manufacturer of packaging materials for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, while facing and overcoming various troubles and trials in the turbulence of the times. I believe the longevity of Asahi Printing is a testament to our ability to continually innovate ourselves as the times require. We do this by not just preserving the history and credibility of our business, but by also proactively approaching occasional crises as turning points and opportunities for transformation and innovation that lead to further growth and development.

In the past several years, we have built a new manufacturing base in Kyoto, establishing a production system in the Toyama and Kyoto areas. We have also acquired the companies Harleigh (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and Shin-Nippon Industries Sdn. Bhd. as bases for developing our business in Malaysia. The initiatives will be a boost for the next stage of our business. We will continue to boldly take on new challenges ahead of our competitors to swiftly respond to the needs of our customers and society.

At the same time, it is also important to embrace the sprit of “continuity and change.” While it is extremely important to be able to innovate and change with the times, we must also value that which must remain constant. While I believe we should prioritize a customer-oriented approach, we should also strive for a management style that aligns the perpetual growth of our company with the happiness of our employees.
This is the enduring spirit of “valuing people” that has been passed down over generations, at Asahi Printing, which we should be steadfast in preserving, alongside the values of “corporate integrity” that we show to our valued partners. We will continue to build our legacy for the next 50 and 100 years based on the spirit of continuity and change.

In 2022, we have formulated the mid-term business plan AX2024 (Asahi Transformation 2024).
We will strive to leverage the strengths of Asahi Printing while continuing to innovate and create new value.
I would like us to achieve AX2024 as we provide our customers with inspiring service that creates an impact, and build a stronger management structure.
