Marking the 100th anniversary of its founding.
This year marks the significant milestone of our 100th anniversary, and I would like to extend my sincere greetings.
Our founders began their journey by manufacturing magic lanterns and cinema projectors.
Our predecessors expanded into temporary projection setups, slides, overhead projectors, and eventually video, broadening their range of audiovisual equipment.
We, in turn, have continued to pursue multimedia technology, centered on digital images and video, while taking on the challenge of spatial performance and design.
Times have changed, and technology has evolved significantly, but our underlying passion remains unchanged.
That passion is our desire to
“provide people with wonder, inspiration, and immersive experiences.”
As a result of our tireless pursuit of this passion,
we are able to celebrate this milestone of our 100th anniversary today.
This achievement is entirely thanks to the support of all those who have stood by us over the years, and we extend our sincere gratitude.
Going forward, we will not simply find value in survival, but will continue to take on challenges, confront issues head-on, and advance in society with humility and pride, guided by the spirit of “starting anew every day.”
We intend to make even greater efforts as we look toward the next 100 years.
We would appreciate your continued support and guidance.
Representative Director, Hideaki Takenaka
