Purchasing policy and organization

1. Open purchasing: We select suppliers who are excellent in Q (Quality), C (Cost), D (Delivery) and technical development regardless of with or without past business dealings with us, or home or abroad.
2. Mutual development based on mutual trust: We quickly adopt suppliers' expertise-based proposals for improvement from product development phase through mass production for quality improvement and cost reduction to work on producing competitive products.
3. Promotion of localization: We promote expansion of local production to meet customers' needs. Upon local production, we prioritize local procurement of equipment, materials and components.
4. Compliance with the law: We comply with social norms, laws and regulations in our purchasing activities. Also, we pay adequate attention to handling confidential information of us and suppliers.
