Message from Top Management

The foundation of our business activities is our corporate philosophy that “Everything starts with trust and honesty. We create new value for people and society as a whole.”

I would like to thank you all for your continued support of Ai Holdings Corporation.

Ai Holdings was established as a pure holding company through a management integration in April 2007, and since then, the Group has expanded its business performance steadily thanks to your valued support. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation once more.

The Japanese economy is demonstrating a downward trend overall due to the slowdown in economic activities resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Overseas as well, as the pandemic continues to spread throughout the world, economic activities have been subject to substantial restrictions, including the impact on supply chains, and the future remains unclear. Amid this economic environment, Ai Holdings will respond to changes in the environment in a timely and flexible manner and undertake management with an emphasis on profits, while maintaining and strengthening in-house structures with attention to efficiency and profitability.

Specifically, based on the corporate philosophy that “Everything starts with trust and honesty. We create new value for people and society as a whole,” we will steadily expand business performance in the future as well, with a focus on two major businesses: the Security Equipment business, which involves mainly security camera systems that have been installed in more than 40,000 condominiums in Japan, and the Peripheral Computer Equipment business, which involves mainly cutting machines for commercial and personal use, with particularly strong growth seen recently in compact cutting machines for hobby applications.
We will build an even more robust management base, in addition to the Card Equipment and Other Office Equipment business, which handles card issuing systems for hospitals and specialized CAD software for steel structures, and the Design business, which specializes in structural design. Aside from these, we will further strengthen the business foundations by launching the decarbonization system business, which focuses on energy saving and low power consumption systems, a field that was newly initiated to target a new era of decarbonization.

In addition to promoting growth and development through these core businesses, we will further strengthen and promote aggressive business operations, including business alliances and M&As, not only in Japan, but overseas as well. We will rapidly establish and implement initiatives to enable this aggressive style of management, while at the same time further strengthening compliance structures by leveraging the unique characteristics of a holding company, as well as by reexamining and enhancing internal control functions.

We look forward to your continued understanding and support.
