Let’s go, ISOWA America!

 

I have not been to the U.S. for a long time, since the pandemic began.

The last time I traveled on business was,

in December, 2018.

 

During that time, we bought our own office, three times larger than the one we had rented,

and the number of employees has doubled to now 25.　It’s thanks to the IA team, who have contributed to the patronage of our North and South American clients and their Kikai (“machine” and “opportunity”) Loss Reduction.

 

What a gorgeous welcome, by the way. I am overwhelmed.

 

Mr. S, who has only been here for a few days as a successor to Mr. Y, who has been here for 3 years, has been completely Americanized and brightened up. I have high expectations for him.

 

Unlike most American companies, IA follows the philosophy of ISOWA Japan and is committed to Japanese-style management with an emphasis on Corporate Culture. It has evolved every year, and people who saw the evolution and admire the culture of thinking as a team rather than as an individual, and by extension, Japan itself, are now joining us.

 

Exactly “choose who rides the bus” and “choose by who rides the bus”.

 

This further creates the evolution of IA. Of the 23 people, excluding expatriates from Japan, the number of bilinguals who spoke fluent Japanese had increased to 4.

 

 The iceberg under the surface matters.

 

It is a virtuous cycle toward a philosophy-based management.

ISOWA America is nice. Really nice.

 

To contribute to the Kikai (“machine” and “opportunity”) Loss Reduction, we need people and parts. Parts inventory is essential.

Behind the larger office is an even larger and more orderly warehouse, which holds 3.5 times more spare parts than it did a few years ago.

In the evening, Mr. Y's wife, Mrs. A, and her daughter, Miss Y, joined us for dinner. It was a friendly and enjoyable dinner party.

 

Let's continue to do our best! Let’s go, ISOWA America!
