ビットバンク Aiming to Be a Sound and Dynamic Corporation

The Ryobi Group strives to embody a corporate philosophy of “Create a Sound and Dynamic Corporation through Technology, Trust and Challenge.” In other words, by responding to the needs of customers and society in general with innovative top-quality products and services, we seek to establish ourselves as an indispensable corporate citizen.

The Ryobi Group confronted ongoing difficulties in formulating the future outlook due mainly to the current business environment, including the impact of trade policies in various countries, anxiety over a decelerating global economy, instability in foreign exchange rates, and persistently high resource and energy prices. At the same time, demand for lightweight and exceptionally recyclable aluminum die-casting is rising in the automotive industry due to an accelerating transformation against the backdrop of a global trend toward decarbonization. Viewing the trends such market changes bring as growth opportunities, we are working proactively to address needs.

As a part of these efforts, we established a new large-scale prototype manufacturing plant on the grounds of the Kikugawa Plant in Shizuoka Prefecture and introduced an ultra-large die casting machine with a clamping force of 6,500 tons. This machine is the first of its kind among domestic manufacturers specializing in die casting, and we began providing prototyping services from March 2025 with the aim of expanding the practical applications of ultra-large die-casting technology, which has the potential to enhance auto parts manufacturing efficiency and thereby reduce our environmental burden.

In addition to these efforts, the Company will continue to take on new challenges in a wide range of fields, such as developing sustainable materials and revolutionizing new manufacturing processes. As a foundation undergirding next-generation manufacturing, we will continue striving to strengthen our development and proposal capabilities going forward.

In addition, under the MMP starting in 2025 and ending 2027, we aim to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value and have outlined three basic policies: Enhancing market presence; Creating a safe, sound and dynamic workplace; and Addressing environmental and social challenges. In line with these policies, we are striving to enhance shareholder returns while acquiring treasury shares and expanding dividends based on steady and continuous profit returns.

Looking ahead, the Ryobi Group will continue to step up and enhance its initiatives to create a “Sound and Dynamic Corporation.” We ask for your ongoing support for our endeavors.
