I am Yasuo Sakamoto, President of ETS Holdings Co., Ltd.

Thanks to the guidance and support from all of you, we have reached a significant milestone—our company’s centennial anniversary. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your continued encouragement.

Since our founding, we have strived to contribute to the stable supply of electricity as a collective of “essential workers,” under the guidance of various electric power companies. In addition, to adapt to the changing times and environment, we have actively engaged in social infrastructure projects related to electrical installation, telecommunications, and renewable energy.

One of the cornerstones of our company is the significant number of highly skilled linemen we employ, which is rare even on a national level. We will continue to actively pass on this expertise to the next generation in order to maintain and expand these exceptional technical skills.

Although we are a company with a long history, we must continue to embrace new challenges rather than rest on our laurels, lest we fall behind in the face of changing times. In addressing this, it is essential that we focus on a mindset of continuous improvement and harness the synergy gained through competition among the companies within our group.

With an unwavering sense of gratitude toward all of you, we will make every effort to further strengthen our competitiveness as a company.

 I humbly ask for your continued guidance and support in the years ahead.
