“I’m truly excited to work alongside such a committed and capable team. My goal is to drive continuous improvement and sustainable growth across the entire organization. To do so, I believe in applying the 5-gen principle—genbutsu (actual object), gemba (actual place), genjitsu (reality), genri (principles), and gensoku (rules)—not only in our manufacturing sites but also across all business operations. This approach encourages us to face challenges directly, make informed decisions based on facts, and stay grounded in our values. Together, let’s build a stronger, more agile Tokai COBEX.”
