Management Message

We will ensure the satisfaction of our customers by providing them with maximum value. This is the Kyocera Mita philosophy of "Customers First". All of our employees give their all. Regardless of the product or service, it is our people that make it happen. For this, Kyocera Mita must be the kind of company in which all employees possess dreams, work hard, and realize all of the talent they possess. Our people are the heart of our company. By thinking sincerely about the customer, being diligent in one's work, and creating high-quality products and solutions, all employees grow as people and offer new values to customers. In repeating this process, customers, employees and shareholders grow along with the company. It is my wish that we continue to be this kind of company.

As a company that provides document imaging devices to the world, we often ask ourselves, how do we address our responsibilities to the world as manufacturers? Advanced technology is bringing great changes not only to business but also to the lives of individuals. However, through this evolutionary process human beings have come to place a great burden on the global environment. In present times, ecology has become well established into the global consciousness, but Kyocera Mita has been placing heavy emphasis on the global environment for some time now, and views this issue as a matter of social responsibility. In 1992, the first ECOSYS printer was released for sale. This printer did not require replacement of the drum or image developing parts during its lifetime and under normal operating conditions required only toner replacement. The word "ECOSYS" itself was coined to represent a three dimensional fusion of economy, ecology, and system. Kyocera Mita's unique ECOSYS long-life technology is utilized in both our printers and multifunctional products. Through the reduction of the disposal of interchangeable parts, economic value is realized by utilizing the benefits of minimized total cost and at the same time reducing the burden on the global environment. We are working diligently to reduce environmental burden by developing these ideas not only through the entire product life cycle, but also in enterprise activities as a whole. In addition, Kyocera Mita is positively advancing CSR management. Strict adherence to laws, ordinances and transparent management is a matter of fact. We strive to become a company respected by the world through our efforts to contribute to the relentless progress and development of society.

Society is always changing, and often society presents unforeseen variables that interfere with enterprise operations. In order to respond rapidly to changes in the societal environment, and create solutions to problems quickly, it is especially important for enterprise management to be conducted though clear decision making and the speedy relay of information.
There is a great diversification occurring in office document-related types of work. In January 2009, we launched a new brand of multifunctional products under the name of "TASKalfa" in order to meet the needs of diversified document work. TASKalfa uses hardware based on our ECOSYS long-life technology that reduces burden on the environment, as well as software that offers the best solutions for increasing office efficiency. Through this innovation, we are able to offer customers the most beneficial document environment possible. Our goal is not simply to make the products more functional, but also to provide the kind of problem solving capabilities required by our customers. We chose "TASK" (meaning for business), and "alfa" (meaning the most useful) to be the name of this new brand to reflect this thinking. TASKalfa will provide products and services beneficial to the customer by providing multifunctional products that support enterprise management.
Through our printer brand "ECOSYS" and our multifunctional product brand "TASKalfa", we have achieved a position that will allow us to provide customers with the best design for document environment problem resolutions, regardless of the office type. By following our philosophy of putting the customer first, it goes without saying that Kyocera Mita puts a great effort into being a good partner and always pleasing our customers.
