We also have our own warehouses overseas and are working to enhance our logistics functions. By improving our overseas bases in this way, we can provide meticulous support to clients who wish to move factories overseas or begin production abroad. In addition to plastic compounds, we will also engage in joint ventures and cross-industry collaborations while further strengthening and expanding our manufacturing bases and processing technologies in Japan and overseas, taking advantage of the Group's strengths in excellent development capabilities and unique technology.
