Message from the President

Greetings

Since our founding in 1912, TAKAKITA Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to the modernization of agriculture through the development and manufacture of agricultural machinery, guided by our corporate motto: “Loving the Soil, Living with the Soil.”

“Bringing the blessings of the Earth to everyone through innovation that shapes the future.” This is our Corporate Purpose, which we deeply cherish at Takakita. We aspire to be a company that protects agriculture, nurtured by the blessings of heaven and earth, and passes it on to the next generation.

Today, the social challenges surrounding agriculture are becoming increasingly complex, including the need to improve food self-sufficiency, conserve the global environment, and build a sustainable agricultural foundation. In realizing our Corporate Purpose, we believe that the role we must play as an agricultural machinery manufacturer is becoming more important than ever.

Our long-term management plan, “Offensive 120,” is a 10-year plan formulated to fulfill this mission. In Phase 1, which began in fiscal 2023, we achieved steady results, driven by strong sales growth in our core chopping-type series and soil-preparation machinery. At the same time, our response to subsequent changes in the business environment remains a work in progress, and we recognize that there were areas for improvement in both the speed of our transformation and our execution capabilities.

Starting in fiscal 2026, we are working on Phase 2, our Second Medium-Term Business Plan. Under the slogan “Accelerate the Speed of Transformation and Move onto a Solid Growth Trajectory: Offensive120,” we will promote structural earnings reforms and growth initiatives in an integrated manner. In Japan, in addition to further strengthening our presence in the livestock and dairy sectors, we will continue to expand into markets for dry-field farming, orchard farming, and paddy rice cultivation, while responding to the needs of smart agriculture. Overseas, we will expand our business in key regions while pursuing multifaceted global development. At our manufacturing sites, we will strengthen our production foundation through investments in automation and labor-saving measures.

The ability to translate challenges into concrete action is exactly what Phase 2 requires. Keeping our Corporate Purpose of “Bringing the blessings of the Earth to everyone” close to our hearts, and with sincere gratitude to our customers, shareholders, business partners, local communities, and each and every employee walking this path with us, we will devote our full efforts to returning to a solid growth trajectory.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and guidance.

Tatsuya Fujisawa
