Message from our President
Over 100 years have passed since the T-type Ford was created in the early 20th century, and the automobile industry is just entering an age of dramatic change every 100 years. We are very blessed with an environment where we can meet the challenges of this time of change.
AutoNetworks Technologies, Ltd (“ANTech”) has been developing wire harnesses, which equivalent to vascular and nervous systems, and related electronics products. In response to this revolution in automobiles, we are working to develop practical applications for automotive networks that create new value.
ANTech is a member of the Sumitomo Electric Group. It is a three-pronged business format based on the Sumitomo Business Spirit, which is founded on “Banji-nissei” “Do your sincere best in not only business but also every aspect of your life.”, “Shinyo-kakujitsu” “Place importance on integrity and sound management.”, “Fusu-furi” “Do not act rashly or carelessly in pursuit of immoral business.” It is comprised of SEl, which is in charge of business planning and sales, SWS, which is in charge of development, design, and manufacturing, and ANTech, which is in charge of research and development. We provide our customers with seamless new technologies and new products as one team, and we will expand our "connected" business as a "connected" partner in mobility.
In realizing the "connected" business, we will strive to match customer needs with the diverse seeds of the SEl Group, and maximize group synergies through comprehensive development, ranging from material development to collaboration with components, modules, electronics equipment, network architecture, and exterior parts.
Now what existence is the "partner" of development?
I am convinced that a company that has the following "Five Work" and "Three Attitudes" is appropriate for a "partner" in development and overlaps with our aspirations.
"Five Work"
(1) We think from the viewpoint of automotive manufacturers that we are happy when something is done by car.
(2) To accomplish it, we consider what products and technologies are needed without being constrained by the stereotype.
(3) We are able to consider the use of products and technologies with an awareness of commercialization in our unique products and strong technologies.
(4) In the case of a decision that we can do so, we will match the market and customer needs by embodying the idea and communicating with the customer.
(5) We work with our business divisions and take responsibility for delivering our customers’ desired products at the prices and delivery times they want.
"Three Attitudes"
- Attitude to listen closely to customers and colleagues
- Attitude of trying to know and understand more about automobiles
- Attitude of paying attention to trends in the mobility society
In order to accomplish this "five work" and "three attitudes," we would like to cherish the feeling of enjoying work with all of our partners, that is, "Let's enjoy!!"
With a sense of ownership, all of us will work together to tackle the challenges of research and development, which will lead our future growth. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people who support us, and we look forward to your continued support and encouragement.
Hiroki Hirai
President and CEO
