Business Segments

From the mid-1990’s, strategic M&A activities improved the sales and profit balance among business segments. However, in 2009, when the global crisis hit us, we were unable to grow earnings. Our challenge going forward is to create stable growth in the Medical-Diagnostic Instruments & Systems segment that will generate profit and support the entire corporate group when downturns in the highly volatile Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segment and the Automotive Test Systems segment may occur at the same time. We will continue to grow all five businesses and make them into thick pillars to support our business base.
