President's Message

Moving Towards Further Progress in the Third Stage
While Strengthening the Basics
Tatsuyoshi Yoshiike HIOKI's corporate philosophy is summarized by our guiding principles of "Respect for Humanity" and "Contribution to Society", and it is these goals that form the backbone of all of our activities. Through our dedication to provide electrical measuring instruments as fundamental tools for every industrial sector, HIOKI has long contributed to the development of industry and society as a whole.

For the first 40 years since the founding of our company in 1935, HIOKI's core business was characterized by increasing mass production of electrical meters and testers, and symbolizes the first stage of our corporate life. Then, in the 30 years beginning in the 1970's, the second stage saw us focusing on further enhancing the quality of our products while at the same time modernizing our management structure and carrying out intensive R&D projects. As a result, the current four primary product categories were established.

HIOKI has now entered into the third stage of our corporate tenure, in which we are leveraging new fields of competencies. 2007 proved to be a banner year in this respect, as it was marked by new ventures that emerged from a business reorganization, and the establishment of our sales subsidiary in China in April. It was a year of new beginnings - and we intend to continue on this exciting course. Working together in unison to further improve our business performance, we are looking forward to taking on even more challenges while staying firmly rooted in our solid company philosophy.
