Factory Tours for Investors and Media Outlets

Upon request, we offer tours of the operating companies' plants at any time. In addition to visits to our battery testing laboratories and production lines for industrial explosives, signal flares, PET bottle and can beverages, and silicon wafers, we also let visitors try firing signal flares. While walking around the premises of one of our plants, not only are visitors able to deepen their understanding of the Group's businesses and products, but they can also see and feel first-hand the mindful attitude toward manufacturing, the careful approach to safety, and the attitudes of employees working on the manufacturing floor. This enables us to convey the Group's commitment to sustainable growth through manufacturing.
