KURODA GROUP CO., LTD
Representative Director, President and CEO
Koichi Hosokawa

We are pleased to announce that Kuroda Group Co., Ltd. has been listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on December 17, 2024.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our stakeholders for their continued support and patronage.

Kuroda Group started its business in 1945 by selling bakelite boards and other products, and later developed into a specialized trading company dealing in various electrical materials and electronic components. In response to our customers' requirements, we gradually began engaging in the manufacturing and processing businesses, which have become the basis of our Group’s trading and manufacturing businesses to this day.

While both businesses have continued to grow since our establishment, the business environment, as well as the business policies of our trading partners have changed significantly. It was against this backdrop that we decided to privatize Kuroda Electric Co., Ltd. in March 2018, in order to expeditiously revise our underlying management structure. After going private, we reorganized into a holding company structure headed by Kuroda Group Co., Ltd. and clarified and speeded up the decision-making process, and promoted various measures such as strengthening our business foundation and improving profitability. Since then, we largely achieved the management goals we set when we went private, and will now be newly listed on the stock exchange as “Kuroda Group Co., Ltd.”

On this occasion, we will strive to fulfill our accountability as a listed company and further improve governance, while realizing sustainable growth under transparent business management. We, the executives and employees, are committed to working diligently as a team to become a company that is trusted and appreciated with by all our stakeholders. Through business activities with our trading partners, the Group hopes to contribute as much as possible to solving various challenges facing society in order to realize a more prosperous future.

We look forward to your continued support.
