As society evolves, so do the products it demands. SMK has continuously adapted its technologies to creatively address customer challenges. Our manufacturing approach is driven by a commitment to contribute to creating a better society and future by solving social and customer challenges through connecting people to people, people to products, and products to products creatively. As digitalization accelerates, unforeseen changes will emerge. We remain dedicated to understanding social challenges and leveraging our manufacturing expertise to drive solutions for a more sustainable world.

With the rapid advancement of digitalization and IoT, the role of manufacturers is shifting from producing goods to delivering solutions and services. At SMK, we integrate sensing, high-frequency, and algorithm technologies into our existing business to develop new products and services. We also drive open innovation through partnerships to expand into new business fields.
As society evolves, we will continue identifying emerging needs and creating new value.

SMK Group operates with a transnational management approach, expanding its business worldwide. We have 35 locations across 16 regions, including R&D locations, works, and sales offices. With overseas production and sales each accounting for approximately 70% and 77% of our 4,104 employees based outside Japan (as of FY2023), our workforce is increasingly global. To further expand our international business, employee growth is key. SMK is committed to fostering talent through tailored development programs, ensuring a diverse and capable workforce.

SMK celebrated its 100th anniversary in April 2025. Looking ahead to the next 100 years, we set our Long-Term Vision for 2035: "We will contribute to the next 100 years with our Manufacturing Capabilities that realize all kinds of needs." As digitalization expands, the application of electronics is growing rapidly. By providing high-value products and services based on our proven manufacturing strengths to solve the challenges of customers aiming for future electronics, we will contribute to creating a richer society and future.

SMK differentiates its products and services by combining core technologies—connection, wireless, and input technologies—and integrating them with software and algorithms. A key factor in this is our marketing efforts. In April 2024, we integrated the Sales Division into our Product Divisions to strengthen both our sales and marketing capabilities. Additionally, we established an Innovation Center to boost our efforts in new business creation.
Moving forward, we will evolve into a company that makes proposals one step ahead of customer expectations by further strengthening our marketing activities.

To strengthen human capital, our main goals are creating challenging and rewarding workplaces and developing self-directed employees. We are working on HR system reforms, revising performance evaluation systems, actively recruiting and training talent, implementing reskilling plans, and exploring job-based employment models. From the perspective of diversity, equity & inclusion, we are also focused on fostering female leadership.
Furthermore, we are working on initiatives such as improving engagement survey scores and creating opportunities for young employees to experience growth, including through offering manufacturing site training programs.
