Philosophy
Message
Corporate vision
At Misawa, we want each and every one of our employees to connect with “personal growth” and “who they want to be” through their work.
The environment in which you grew up, your career to date, your reasons for working... A company is a gathering of people from diverse backgrounds.
In an organization that brings together a wide range of people, we believe it is important to set goals for the company and to demonstrate the means and methods of achieving those goals so that everyone is on the same page.
For employees who share and sympathize with Misawa’s goals, we will provide financial happiness and satisfaction commensurate with their contribution and hard work and aim to be a company where all employees can feel excited and fulfilled.
Thoughts on our products
We value not only the products themselves but also the broad “product strengths” encompassing everything surrounding the products.
Such product strengths include, for example, in-store styling, graphic design of promotional materials, and knowledge and proposal skills of sales staff.
We believe that the strength of our brand lies in creativity and customer service, which further enhances the uniqueness and characteristics of our products, allowing us to express the essence of Unico even more effectively.
Future outlook
We will continue to uphold this attitude of “constantly changing, never staying in one place” as our vision for Misawa.
In the future, our challenge will be how to adapt to the rapid changes in social conditions since the COVID-19 pandemic, such as inflation, depreciation of the yen, and soaring energy prices.
We will start by implementing an omnichannel strategy that fits our company, as well as expanding our product categories and corporate business areas, and integrating our strengths in sensibilities and digital technology. We will flexibly address all these themes while building our strategy.
