Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation is making strides as a creative enterprise that integrates design and manufacturing based on cutting-edge technologies with the global solutions capability of an established trading company.

Our specialization, nanotechnology, is slated to be the leading technology of the 21st century, and promises to become the focus of ever increasing interest. In pursuit of our goal of becoming the global leading company in the field of nanotechnology, we are developing our business across a variety of segments, including Electronic Device Systems, Life Science, Information Systems & Electronic Components, and Advanced Industrial Products. We are working to achieve our goal by providing customers with added value based on the most advanced technologies in these fields.

Our proposal to adopt the "Company with Committees System" management structure was approved at the General Shareholder's Meeting on June 24, 2003. This new organization will enable us to strengthen corporate governance by enhancing the speed, efficiency, and transparency of management, with the aim of increasing the confidence we are entrusted by our customers and our stakeholders.

In the competitive field of high technology we are constantly working to stay one step ahead of market needs and to provide timely, well-conceived solutions for each and every one of our valued customers. We look forward to your continued encouragement and support.
