COMPANYGreetings from the President

Since its establishment in 1938, Kanto Denka Kogyo Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) has accumulated specialized knowledge and technologies on electrolysis, chiefly hydrofluoric acid electrolysis technologies for efficiently producing a large amount of high-purity fluorine, and fluorine-related technologies with an extensive range of applications, such as battery materials, pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.

The Group launched its new medium-term management plan, “Dominate 1000,”in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 with the goal of achieving \100 billion in consolidated net sales in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. However, taking into account the evolving business landscape and performance trends, we have reevaluated the plan and extended it by two years. We will implement new strategies and measures in addition to the initially planned key strategies to enhance corporate value. Specifically, we will expand business, predominantly in the Fine Chemicals Division, reform our business portfolio, pursue management leveraging return on invested capital (ROIC), strengthen investor relations (IR) activities, and reduce cross-shareholdings. These and other efforts seek to revitalize profitability while also prioritizing management mindful of capital costs.

As we look ahead to the society we envision in 2030, we are committed to providing a safe work environment that fosters job satisfaction and supporting technologies that are cutting-edge on a global stage with our superior, original products. By building on a stable management foundation, we aim to grow into an innovative, development-driven company that contributes to a sustainable society.

Your continued support would be greatly appreciated.

President Jun’ichi Hasegawa
