Message from the CEO

We are committed to helping create
a sustainable society through our business
in line with our management philosophy,
“Automation that Inspires.”

Based on our management philosophy, “Automation that Inspires,” the Daifuku Group believes that our mission is to enrich society and people's well-being through our core competence—automated material handling technology.

In May 2024, the Group announced our long-term vision, entitled Driving Innovative Impact 2030, and our four-year business plan for 2027. Our business plays a vital role in supporting social infrastructure and directly contributes to solving key societal challenges such as labor shortages and productivity improvement. We have therefore set integrated goals that encompass both economic and social value, and we aim to build a sustainable society and enhance our long-term corporate value through our business activities.

Recently, with the development of advanced technologies such as AI, the business environment is undergoing a period of major transformation. As such, there is a growing need to develop markets and technologies from a more long-term perspective. The Group has consistently provided solutions to needs for automation and unmanned operations across a wide range of industries through our material handling technologies. Going forward, we will proactively pursue the development of new domains and the creation of next-generation businesses by investing not only in the research and development of advanced technologies, but also in human capital, such as by cultivating personnel skilled in DX (digital transformation) and AI. Furthermore, we will accelerate our initiatives for environmental issues through measures such as addressing climate change and conserving biodiversity.

We at the Group, based on our management philosophy and long-term vision, aim to achieve further growth through flexible and creative ideas that defy convention and the ability to reform existing frameworks in order to remain a company that society truly needs. We will continue to remain united in our efforts to meet the challenges of the future.

June 2025

President and CEO
