Our company was established in September 2005, and this year marks our 19th anniversary. Since its establishment, the General Manager has been appointed by the parent company Sumitomo Forestry as a resident in Dalian, China. With the organizational change effective from January 1, 2024, we have appointed a local employee, achieving the localization of management for the first time.

Considering this significant milestone, we conducted interviews with Chairman Hashizume and the newly appointed General Manager, Ms. Song.

Below are excerpts from the interviews with the Chairman and the General Manager:

Question :

The localization of management is a part of building a structure in which employees are motivated and committed to the company. With the localization of the General Manager, we are able to create our "ideal image". In the future, under the leadership of General Manager Song, we expect all employees to unite and work together for further growth and development of the company.
