True Solution 2028
(FY2026 - FY2028)

Through the realization of our corporate philosophy—comprising our Mission, "Opening the Future with Technology and Ingenuity," and our Vision, "Creating New Value for Society"—the KANADEN Group strives for the sustainable enhancement of its corporate value.
As a milestone for materializing this corporate philosophy, we have established a Long-Term Vision targeted for FY2035 (establishing a stable, highly profitable structure through value creation; FY2035 target: ROE of 12.0% or higher).
The new Medium-Term Management Plan, True Solution 2028, marks a highly critical execution phase toward achieving this Long-Term Vision. As an Electronics Solutions Company, we will pursue genuine problem-solving capabilities, aiming to shift toward growth areas and establish a robust management foundation.
