Achilles' share of the market isn't limited to Japan but also extends throughout the world. To develop our businesses on a global scale, we've established sales and manufacturing bases in the United States and China. Our products, which utilize the technology and know-how cultivated mainly in Japan, are exported to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions around the world, and are well-received. Going forward, in order to provide more peace of mind and joy to the world than ever before, we aim to expand our markets and discover new businesses, and further strengthen our global expansion by utilizing M&A and alliances. We aim to expand the fanbase of Achilles on a global scale by proposing solutions to global issues such as environmental problems, as well as developing products that meet the needs of each country and region, such as disaster prevention measures and support for medical fields.
