Message from the President
At a corporate workshop, I was once told “To guarantee continued growth and existence, a company president only has to worry about two things. One is to create and maintain an appropriate set of management strategies. The other is to create a corporate culture in which the employees can enjoy the work and want to do a good job.” I have never forgotten this lesson.
The foundation of my management strategies will be summed up as “Thoughtful Management.” Thoughtful management means contributing to the society. I was once told by a Japanese customer about “The Three Good Fors.” Merchants of this customer’s region in Japan have been taught that “If it is good for the seller and it is good for the buyer, then it is good for the society.” I love this statement because it plainly sums up the “Thoughtful Management” that I strive for.
“Supplying a dream in a corrugated box.”
“A Dream Box made by the Box Dream”
The Box Dream, which we are trying to introduce to the market right now, is the world’s first high-speed digital printer for the wide-width corrugated sheet. Our mission is rather large: We are trying to start a revolution in the corrugated industry by changing the conventional flexo printing to digital printing.
First of all, by using the Box Dream Digital Printer, a company can run a zero-emission printing operation because waste ink, wash water and cleaning solutions can be eliminated. This will lead to production of eco-friendly corrugated products. The corrugated sheet can then establish itself as environmentally responsible product.
Digital printing is faster and easier with a lot clearer results than flexographic. These advantages of digital printing will also allow us to introduce ways to change the corrugated sheet from being just a packaging material to a medium to convey messages, a way to convey dreams, if you will. Using corrugated this way will also increase its value.
You hear people talk about how big this company is or how small that company is. It is not the physical size of a company that matters, but it is the size of the company’s tangible and intangible resources that the company holds that matters. In that sense, I hope to make ISOWA a giant corporation.
Our Mission Statement is:
"Quickness and Interaction"
(1)Initiative → Accepting challenges is the highest virtues
(2)Cooperation → Nurturing trust and communication among people
(3)Environment → We value your opinion and expression
Our collective aim is to truly understand this statement and eventually realize them. I do see that we are getting closer everyday. As stated in the title, we want to have the best corporate culture in the world where everyone can have thoughtful discussions frankly.”
I know I still have much to learn. I will continue to stay humble and listen to everyone’s advice.
I would like to thank you for visiting our web site and hope that we can serve you.
