Health Check Event
A Health Check Event, sponsored by Sumitomo Life, was held in the cafeteria of the Fujioka Nishi Plant on Wednesday, June 11, and in the cafeteria of the Kamikawa Plant on Thursday, July 3.
The purpose of this event was to provide employees with an opportunity to better understand their current health status and to encourage a healthier lifestyle. A large number of employees participated in activities such as InBody body composition analysis and vascular age measurement.
In particular, the InBody analysis offered valuable insights into aspects not easily perceived in daily life—such as body water content, muscle-to-fat ratio, and muscle balance by body region—allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of their physical condition from the inside out.

New Face
Introduction of N.M.
Department: Quality Assurance Section
Nice to meet you.
I joined the company in April of this year and have been assigned to the
Quality Assurance Section. I
am originally from Honjo City.
My hobbies include reading and watching movies. I enjoy exploring new works in various genres—except horror—and take pleasure in discovering interesting titles that capture my attention.
Within the Quality Assurance Section, I am primarily engaged in incoming inspection tasks. My current goal is to perform inspections more efficiently for each product type and to reduce the required processing time.
I am very grateful for the many new discoveries and learning opportunities I encounter each
day. Although there is still
much for me to learn, I will continue to work diligently to become a dependable member of
the team as soon as
possible.
I sincerely appreciate your continued guidance and support.
Introduction of Y.M.
Department: Process Development Section
Nice to meet you.
I am very pleased to be working at this company, with which I have felt a sense of
familiarity since
childhood.
In my development work, I intend to make full use of both the experience I gained in development at my previous position and my innate perseverance, striving each day to become a person who can contribute to shaping the future of our company as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the company’s well-balanced work environment, I also plan to spend my days off enjoying drives and trips with my camera in hand, pursuing my passion for photography.
Although I still have much to learn, I will do my utmost to grow and contribute.
I sincerely
ask for your kind guidance
and support.
Introduction of H.M.
Department: Production Control Section
Nice to meet you. I have recently been assigned to the Production Control Section.
In my previous position at a manufacturing company, I was engaged in the development and design of financial-related equipment such as ATMs and cash registers. My responsibilities covered a wide range of areas, including mechanical and enclosure design as well as user interface planning. Throughout my work, I always placed importance on balancing specifications with on-site needs, and on optimizing quality, cost, and delivery schedules.
This new role marks a challenge for me as I transition from design to production control. However, I intend to leverage my past experience and strive to become a valuable contributor as quickly as possible. At the same time, I hope to actively pursue process improvements and system enhancements without being bound by conventional methods, thereby contributing to the overall advancement of the organization.
I am aware that there is still much for me to learn, but I will do my utmost to grow through
the guidance and support of
everyone around me, and to make meaningful contributions at the earliest opportunity.
I sincerely ask for your kind
guidance and encouragement.
