Message from the President

Thank you for visiting the web-site of Yamagata Casio.

We, YAMAGATA CASIO, as the only manufacturing base in Japan of CASIO group, hold up “creativity and contribution” as a corporate creed. As represented by timepiece production, we always strive to improve “Made in Japan quality” by pursuing highly reliable manufacturing.
Based on the cultivated production technology and ability of digitalization and cost reformation, we have pursued integrated production system which has ability to produce CASIO brand production, and we play an important role of the “mother factory” which presides production bases in overseas, launches the new products constantly, and executes the best QCD (Quality, Cost, and Delivery) .

After Corona disaster, our environment surrounding society has changed significantly.
With the rapid evolution of digital technology, we in the manufacturing industry also must follow the changes and evolve our technology. In recent years, we are working together to transform all CASIO production bases into smart factory. By developing in-house production system that makes full use of digital technology from upstream to downstream of production, we realized innovative production system which is different from conventional.

To maximize “quality” and “production efficiency”, all our employees are aware of their own control limits and continue to push through it. Therefore, our company’s purpose of “manufacture the best products and bring the greatest joy to those who use them” will continue to evolve without end. What does not change is our passion for manufacturing, and what must change is the evolution of technology. We emphasize the compliance with law and ordinance to execute high quality corporate management, and maximize the satisfaction of stakeholders. By achieving this, we contribute to the further development of the society.
We will continue to deliver the “best products” to everyone around the world.

President
Shinichi Kimura
