Management Message

The JVCKENWOOD Group, guided by our corporate philosophy, "Creating excitement and peace of mind for the people of the world," delivers products and services that enrich people's lives to customers all across the world. We do this by leveraging the three areas of technology we have cultivated over many years — communication, visual, and audio — together with our strength in design management driven by customer needs, thereby creating new value.

In 2008, Victor Company of Japan, Limited and Kenwood Corporation merged to form JVCKENWOOD. By overcoming the series of hardships that arose after the management integration and driving a business transformation that leverages our strengths, we have built a robust management foundation that allows us to adapt to a rapidly changing business environment and established a stable revenue base.

In our newly formulated medium-term management plan "VISION 2030", we have adopted "Move Forward" as the theme, embodying our determination to turn change into strength and continue taking on new challenges. We will continue to actively invest in the Communications Systems Business — a growth area — to build a solid business foundation, while also striving to improve profitability across all our business areas. Furthermore, in pursuit of sustainable value creation, we will advance our business portfolio strategy and evolving management practices with an awareness of capital costs and share prices, while also accelerating our growth strategy by strengthening supply chain management, evolving to AI-driven management, and further enhancing sustainability management.

2026 marks the 80th anniversary of Kenwood's founding, 2027 marks the 100th anniversary of Victor Company of Japan's founding, and 2028 marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of JVCKENWOOD. We will be rolling out anniversary initiatives over these three years under the banner of "JVCKENWOOD Anniversary." We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of our stakeholders, including our customers, business partners, shareholders, and investors, who have supported the Group over the years.

We will continue to work toward the realization of a sustainable society, strive to maximize corporate value, and make the leap toward becoming an excellent company with strength and resilience.
