President’s Message

Akira Kishimoto, President

Since our founding in 1949, Nippon Electric Glass has contributed to social development by creating and delivering glass that meets the evolving needs of the times, all in line with our founding spirit of contributing to society through the creation of "products of civilization." Starting with glass for radio vacuum tubes, our products now extend across a wide range of fields that support modern society, including automobiles, energy, medical care, semiconductors, displays, information and communication, social infrastructure, home appliances, and housing equipment.

Today, companies are increasingly expected to address pressing social issues, such as climate change and human rights, through their business activities in pursuit of sustainability. At Nippon Electric Glass, we leverage our cutting-edge research and development capabilities to produce a diverse array of glass products that not only meet market demands but also contribute to a sustainable future. Our corporate philosophy—bringing out the infinite possibilities of glass to pioneer a brighter future through manufacturing—drives us to achieve sustainable growth for both society and our company. We are committed to addressing social needs, including reducing environmental impact, advancing healthcare, enhancing safety and comfort in daily life, and strengthening social infrastructure.

With operational bases in Japan, Asia, North America, and Europe, our global team is enriched by diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We recognize that our employees are the cornerstone of long-term value creation. To continue our contributions to social development and achieve sustainable growth, it is vital that every member of our team remains motivated and embraces new challenges. As president, I am committed to fostering an environment that encourages this spirit of innovation and engagement.

As we look to the future, the Nippon Electric Glass Group will continue to explore the infinite possibilities of glass, working to create a more comfortable and prosperous society. We sincerely appreciate your continued support as we strive to achieve these goals.
