Greeting from Maxell
Thank you very much for visiting Maxell website.
Maxell Group's strength lies in its unique Analog Core Technologies of "Mixing & Dispersion", "Fine Coating", and "High Precision Molding & Forming" cultivated since its foundation. Through these technologies, we aim to enhance both social and economic value, by solving customers' issues and being recognized as an "indispensable" company.
In the world of manufacturing that increasingly demands miniaturization, refinement, and higher density, we will continue to further refine our Analog Core Technologies and remain a presence that can always solve our customers' issues.
In the Mid-Term Management Plan "MEX26 (Maximum Excellence 2026)", we have set forth a commitment to contributing to "improvement of the quality of people, life, and society" through our Analog Core Technologies, with an eye on megatrends in the society. Specifically, we have designated "Mobility", "ICT/AI", and "Human/Social Infrastructure" as our 3 focus areas. We will allocate management resources intensively to the growth businesses in each area, focusing on promoting advanced development, new market development, and making proactive capital investments.
In particular, in the small battery business, we established the "Front-runner strategy in the highly reliable small battery sector" and adopted the corporate byline "Micro batteries. Maximum impact.". By bringing together the technological capabilities and know-how we have refined over the years, we aim to become the global No. 1 in the highly reliable small battery sector, including all-solid-state batteries, in terms of both scale and advanced technology.
At the same time, we will also work on strengthening our business foundation through the acceleration of business portfolio reform, and enhancing management foundation, such as human resource development and promotion of sustainability management.
Maxell Group will continue to create "Maximum Excellence" for all the stakeholders. We would like to ask all the stakeholders for their continued support going forward.
