Daido Corporation, originally Meisei Trade Co., Ltd., was founded in August 1949 for the purpose of exporting machined metal processed products from Japan. In celebration of our 70th anniversary in August of 2019, we would like to take this opportunity to bestow our sincerest thanks and appreciation to all of our stakeholders throughout the years.
The role of a trading company has continued to evolve during our long history and we have strived to meet these challenges through the expansion of our global network by establishing subsidiaries in the United States, Taiwan, China, Germany and Vietnam.
Our most recent expansion is the establishment of a quality control center in Shanghai, China, that performs 100% inspection of tools and consolidates products for export. With the addition of the quality control center, we can now provide customers with more reliable products at reduced cost. We anticipate this value-added service will be appreciated by our customers.
Another recent development is initiating an automotive and motorcycle sales & marketing group in China for import from our core manufacturers in Japan. From experience gained with successful Tier 1 sales and service that was cultivated in the North American market, this endeavor will further evolve our viability as a trading company.
Looking forward, we foresee expanding our existing business groups by continuing to identify the latest trends in technologies and supply chain and the resourcing those opportunities to expand our global reach.
The pace of global business continues to accelerate and change rapidly. A global strategy is a prerequisite to a company's sustainability. Our management philosophy is to continue to contribute to the development of our society by challenging our global outreach and to continue to uncover the latest technologies that assure our customers' market leadership.
Daido's near-term corporate philosophy and strategic plan consists of the following objectives. We hope the accomplishment of these objectives leads to a positive contribution to society:
To be a unique global development and trading company that provides the latest market information and trends to all stakeholders.
To develop and market quality merchandise that differentiates our value from the competition.
To strengthen the relationship with all stakeholders alike that have been founded on trust with the goal of sustaining mutual growth.
This corporate philosophy and strategic plan has been developed to leverage our global branch networks, providing market information and support services. This mission is based on a foundation of experience in the joint development of products and international trading expertise.
To expand the traditional trading company role through the creation of new value-added marketing and logistic services is our goal and is supported by our corporate philosophy and objectives.
With the aim of enhancing our value as a trading company, we have obtained ISO9001 certification as a cornerstone towards the continual improvement of our services.
It is our belief that the quality policy and quality objectives set, supported by our corporate philosophy and strategic plans will achieve our ultimate goal of customer satisfaction.
