On My Appointment as President

I am honored to announce that, as of today, I, Koji Masuda, have officially assumed the role of President and CEO of Fujitsu General.

Our core business of air conditioning plays a pivotal role as essential infrastructure in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. I am confident that this business holds immense potential through our rigorous commitment to advancing a decarbonized society, enhancing global warming countermeasures, and pioneering innovations in heat pump technology. Our information and communication systems and electronic devices businesses likewise remain integral in contributing to the safety and security of our society's future.

Nevertheless, the environment in which our company operates is characterized by intensified global competition, rapid advancements in digital technology, and profound shifts in societal and market dynamics. To achieve sustained growth amid this rapidly transforming landscape, driven by technological evolution, we are resolutely committed to embodying our purpose of "Bringing Smiles to People through Trust and Imagination." With this guiding principle, I pledge to champion our management reforms towards realizing the following “Aspired Vision”:
