To Our Stakeholders

We pursue “human-centered automation” in order to create new value, achieve growth, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Yamatake has pursued “automation,” or measurement and control technologies, since its founding in 1906, developing its business on the strength of solutions unique to Yamatake. We have welcomed the changes that have occurred in the business environment in recent years, including transformation of the social structure, technological innovations, and growing calls for environmental preservation and energy efficiency, as new business opportunities in the building and industrial markets. In addition, we continue to respond to the needs of society through our activities in Life Automation, a new field.

Fiscal 2006—during which we celebrated the 100th anniversary of our founding—was the final year of our three-year, medium-term management plan. In the past fiscal year, we far outperformed the initial targets for the plan. We would like to offer our most sincere appreciation to our shareholders, customers, and all other stakeholders for their understanding and support.

As an even longer-term target, the Yamatake Group continues to pursue a 10-year business plan initiated in fiscal 2004, ended March 31, 2005. The goal of this plan is to achieve consolidated operating income of at least 30 billion yen in fiscal 2013, the final year of the plan. As part of our efforts to meet this target, we revised our Group philosophy. Our new philosophy is: “To realize safety, comfort and fulfillment in people’s lives and contribute to the global environment through ‘human-centered automation.” We also created a new Group symbol, azbil (Automation·Zone·Builder), which incorporates this meaning.


Everyone in the Yamatake Group will pull together as one with azbil as our watchword, utilizing the core measurement and control technologies and other resources we have garnered over the years to offer products and services that are safe and reliable, and of high quality and added value. We will also continue to look favorably on changes in demands from customers, communities, society and shareholders, and strive to provide new value. In this way, we will achieve sustainable growth for ourselves and also fulfill our role at the vanguard of creating a sustainable society through the pursuit of “human-centered automation.”
