OUR COMPANY

Our Thoughts

Our Mission

MISSION
To listen to people’s voices and create functions.
VISION
To become a company that leaves a lasting impression on people’s memories.
VALUE
To deliver a fulfilling time.

PURPOSE

To manufacture products that turn one voice into ten functions

We are not “inventors”.
We are not a company that turns 0 into 1,
but rather a company that turns 1 into 10.
For 45 years since the company was founded,
we have continued to listen to the “voices” of everyone who supports us.

Thinking together.
Agreeing together.
Agonizing together.
Creating together.

Creating something that has never existed before by inspiration is a wonderful thing, but we at Azuma listen to the small voices of everyday life and propose “manufacturing that makes tomorrow a little better than today” to society to create a beautiful future.

Inheritance and growth of thoughts

Although the situation was very different than it was today, I’ve heard that the period when our founder, Yoshinori Hirao, founded Azuma Co., Ltd., was also a very turbulent time. Azuma was born from the idea of providing consumer-friendly products at affordable prices by means of home appliances to solve people’s “small problems” in their daily lives.

The origin of the company name “Azuma” is not so clear now, but when I took over from Mr. Hirao, I decided to reevaluate various things with the employees to breathe new life into the company.
Although the times are different, we are still living in a confusing era with various social issues, just as we did when Mr. Hirao founded the company.
This is why I truly believe that Azuma Co., Ltd. can fully demonstrate its strength of “having feelings and consideration for others”.

I strongly feel that simply “offering inexpensive products” is not enough to meet the expectations and excitement of consumers.

In order to solve the problems of consumers in this new generation, we have begun to reexamine our own work style, attitude, mindset, and workplace environment, and to improve and build an environment that will enable us to become a company that enriches people’s lives.

As part of this effort, we have started a system in which board members from outside the company are invited to participate in product development, and to use the feedback from customers gathered internally to develop our products.

We are fully committed to listening to our customers’ feedback and providing them with the support they need to make sure they are well taken care of even after they make a purchase.

We took the time to formulate the company’s meaning of existence and goals in words that are easy to understand. What is important is not words such as “purpose,” “mission,” “vision,” or “values,” but rather understanding what they mean and how we (as people and as a company) lead our lives as members of society.

The important thing is our thoughts.

It is my hope that Azuma will continue to be a company that empathizes and grows together with the people around it.
We are committed to solving the problems of our users, partners, staff, and ourselves, and hope help as many people lead a “better tomorrow than today” as possible.
