KITZ Corporation was founded in 1951 as Kitazawa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. KITZ founder Toshio Kitazawa believed that the mission of a manufacturer is to mass produce products and supply them at low cost based on unified standards and quality control. He was quick to establish a full-scale mass production system with the latest manufacturing facilities, and the company has grown as an all-round valve manufacturer to this day.

On the occasion of our 70th anniversary in 2021, we decided to revise our Corporate Philosophy, the KITZ’ Statement of Corporate Mission. The new KITZ’ Statement of Corporate Mission incorporates our strong desire to continue supporting social infrastructure by further refining the fluid control technologies and materials development that we have cultivated since our founding.

To realize our Long-term Management Vision “Beyond New Heights 2030—Change the Flow,” in the First Medium-term Management Plan 2024 (FY2022 to FY2024), the KITZ Group has been strengthening its business foundation in the Core Markets such as building & facilities, petrochemicals and general chemicals, while aggressively investing in the Growth Market such as semiconductors, hydrogen & clean energy. As a result, sales and profits for the three-year period of the Medium-term Management Plan have increased, and in the current fiscal year, we achieved record-high sales and profits at all levels.

In November 2023, we consolidated the offices of our domestic group companies, which had been dispersed throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area, into a single floor of the Tokyo Shiodome Building, creating an environment in which we can strive as One-Team while strengthening group synergies. In addition, through the promotion of DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and human capital development, we are working to create a work environment where each and every employee can work energetically.

To further accelerate these trends, under the Second Medium-term Management Plan “SHIN Global 2027 (FY2025-2027),” we will strive to maximize group synergies and further invest in the Growth Markets to achieve “both profitability and growth.” In addition, from FY2025, we have reorganized our internal organization into a Strategic Business Unit system by target market to accurately and swiftly identify market and customer needs and meet their expectations.

We will continue to aim to be an enterprise trusted by society through the realization of efficient, fair, and transparent management. To this end, we ask for the continued support of our shareholders.
