CEO Message

Beginning a transformation into a centennial company that embraces global challenges

This year, the SWCC Group celebrated a major milestone, the 90th anniversary of its founding. Since our foundation as SHOWA ELECTRIC WIRE AND CABLE CO., LTD. in the Showa period, we have supported electricity and communications that are safe and enable people to have peace of mind. In doing so, we have helped develop social infrastructure through our businesses centered on electrical wire and cable as a comprehensive electric wire manufacturer. In 2023, we adopted a new company name, SWCC Corporation. Our goal is to transform into a solution-oriented, value-creating company by expanding our business domains to new areas so that we are not confined to infrastructure or electric wire. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of our stakeholders for the support they have shown us to date.

Our 90th anniversary is a milestone on our way to becoming a centennial company that embraces global challenges. It marks the start of a new transformation. With a view toward becoming a global solutions company that develops future energy and digital technologies as mentioned in the SWCC Vision 2036, we kicked off the new Transformation for Growth SWCC 2030 Medium-term Management Plan. By continuing to advance our ROIC management, we will transform ourselves to reach a new stage of growth.

The reform of our business portfolio is focused on growth potential and profitability. In it, we have identified our power infrastructure and overseas communications businesses and our newly added semiconductor business as growth areas. We will accelerate the transformation of our business to expand growth on a global scale. We will also proactively seek opportunities for mergers and acquisitions, with a view toward achieving inorganic growth not swayed by the framework of our existing businesses to further increase our corporate value.

Innovating new ideas today. Becoming the norms of tomorrow.

The mission of the SWCC Group is to be a company that consistently creates new value today that becomes the norm for society tomorrow, supporting a better future that includes energy and digital technologies. We will meet the changes of the times. We believe that changes are opportunities for us to explore, and we are dedicated to sustainably increasing our corporate value.

I hope we can rely on your continuing support.

Tetsuo Komata, Executive President and Representative Director (CEO) of SWCC Corporation
