Message from Top Management
JUKI traces its origins to the Tokyo Juki Manufacturers Association, established in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II, as Japan faced the challenges of reconstruction, JUKI launched its household sewing machine business, focusing on clothing self-sufficiency and home-based employment as a means of contributing to peace and economic recovery. Among the essentials of everyday life—clothing, food, and housing—we recognized the importance of supporting people's livelihoods through clothing.
Today, through our Sewing Machinery Business, encompassing industrial and household sewing machines, as well as our Electronics Assembly & Systems Businesses and Contract Business, JUKI leverages a broad range of technologies and expertise to expand the possibilities of manufacturing. Across 185 countries and regions with diverse histories and cultures, we continue to enrich people's lives—both economically and spiritually—and support their aspirations.
Since assuming the role of President in 2024, I have been committed to structural reforms aimed at enhancing JUKI’s corporate value and building the foundation of a sustainable business model that will enable us to continue leading the industry into the future. Through these reforms, we have reaffirmed two of JUKI’s greatest strengths: our unwavering commitment to quality and our strong relationships with customers. Leveraging these strengths, we are striving to deliver even greater value to customers who highly appreciate the unique value JUKI provides.
From a management perspective, JUKI has established its five-year medium-term management plan, “Building Sustainable JUKI,” with a clear growth story extending through 2029. We recognize that the initiatives undertaken during 2026 and 2027, the midpoint of this plan, will play a critical role in shaping our future growth. In our business operations, we will achieve sustainable growth by establishing three strong pillars: our core Sewing Machinery Business, complemented by our Electronics Assembly & Systems Businesses and Contract Business. As we move toward 2029, we will actively allocate management resources to each of these businesses and seize growth opportunities with determination.
JUKI is now entering a period of significant transformation. In this environment, speed, commitment, and execution are essential. Equally important is ensuring that this transformation does not remain solely the vision of the current management team, but becomes deeply embedded throughout the organization as part of JUKI’s corporate DNA. We believe that fostering an organization-wide ability to continuously adapt to change is fundamental to realizing a sustainable JUKI. With a strong determination to see this transformation through to completion, we will continue working to enhance our corporate value.
