  • Mid-Term '21 Plan Beginning with Our Forecast for the Company’S Future Operating Environment
    TOYO TIRE Corporation New Medium-Term Business Plan “Mid-Term ’21 Plan” (Presentation scripts) Table Greetings everyone. My name is Takashi Shimizu, the President of Toyo Tire Corporation. I am pleased to share with you today our Mid-Term ’21 plan. In the past, we would estimate the likely size of our company at the end of the next mid-term period, and base our plan on that scenario. This time, we began by reaffirming our strengths and the ideal state of our business, and confronting possible changes and challenges unique to us. From there, we discussed what transformation was necessary for the company to reach a higher stage of development. In the limited time available, I will provide you with key highlights of our new mid- term business plan. Page 2 : The TOYO TIRE Philosophy One year ago, COVID-19 began its full-scale spread across the world. Since then, each of us has had to live through this uncharted "life with Covid." And we won’t be returning to that life before the pandemic. We must instead face this irreversible paradigm shift and find a way to maintain and grow our business in a sustainable manner. We do this by reaffirming a future vision for our company. That includes our relationship with different stakeholders such as our employees. In the U.S., we did not suspend our operations. Rather, we were designated an “essential business”, which allowed us to continue to do business. It made us realize the critical role of the tire business there. We included our Corporate Philosophy on the first slide of this presentation because we want the world to know why we exist, and our plan to live up to those words.

  • Message from the President
    Top Message Message from the President We shall aspire to support the “now” and “future” of the mobility society, and to be a company that is a welcomed presence in society. We have put “mobility-related business” in tires and automotive parts at the core of our business portfolio, and play our role as a key support of the auto industry on a global scale. With pride and determination to fulfill these responsibilities in both word and deed, we are going to change our name to Toyo Tire Corporation in January 2019. We established ourselves in August 1945 as a manufacturer of tires and other rubber products to meet the needs of the times. Over more than 70 years since then, we have constantly made technical innovations and delivered products reflecting social changes and advances to customers around the world. Besides polishing performance and quality, we continue to be particular about producing designs that are brimming with creativity and ingenuity. The generation of differentiated, high-level added value is the company philosophy driving our activities. How can we make effective use of not only our intangible assets in the form of our store of technology but also our resources represented by equipment and locations, and maximize their value? To do so, each and every one of our employees must pool their wisdom and join together in agile action. As I see it, this is our distinctive strength and the source of the meaning in our existence. As many of you already know, the auto industry is now at a critical crossroads of the sort that comes along only once a century.
