Message from CEO
We would like to thank you for your continued support and patronage.
My name is Manabu Goto, and I have been appointed President and Representative Director of SHIRAI ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CO.
I have been leading a management reform in 2019 when our company's financial condition and operating results were in a critical situation, with the belief that we should review and confront the fundamentals of our company management.
As a result, our directors and employees worked as one to overcome various difficulties through teamwork, resulting in a V-shaped recovery of our business performance, and we were able to share the underlying strength of Shirai Electronics Industry with the entire organization. We believe that we have generated solid and stable profits centered on the printed wiring board business, and have paved the way for how to allocate those profits to new businesses.
Shirai repeats that diverse opinions are exchanged among executives and employees from various positions such as sales, manufacturing, technology/quality assurance, and administration, these are blended as much as possible and each leader make decisions based on the opinions. We sometimes make mistakes in these days of rapid change and uncertainty, but continually learning how to face our failures and how to look at them positively, we can turn them into experiences.
Everything must first be viewed in a positive light for the benefit of the company. By simply looking at things in a positive way, each employee will look for reasons why they can do something, not why they can't, and this will result in bringing great added value to the company.
The biggest factor in making this possible is the Cohesiveness of our board and employees by sound governance. Teamwork is our greatest strength, and we will continue to move Shirai Electronics Industries forward with all hands on deck and passion.
For more than 50 years since its establishment, Shirai Electronics Industries has dedicated itself to creating “new value” for its customers as a total manufacturer of printed wiring boards, focusing on the manufacture and sale of double-sided and multi-layered boards, as well as the development and sale of high value-added boards. While carefully carrying on traditions and management philosophy that have been handed down since the foundation of Shirai Electronics Industries, we will redefine the printed wiring board business as our core business with prompt response to a changing business environment, and we will strive for further development by challenging new businesses on the basis of solid and stable profits in our core business. We look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement.
With “Teachings of Satsuma” as my motto, I will continue to move forward with the passion that I possess.
Shirai Electronics Industrial, Co., Ltd.

(Reference) What is the “Teachings of Satsuma”?
This is the word of Shimazu Yoshihiro, lord of the Satsuma clan, which indicate the five orders in evaluating people.
1. Those who have tried something and succeeded
2. Those who tried something and failed
3. Those who did not challenge themselves but helped those who did
4. Those who did nothing
5. Those who did nothing but criticize
We will continue to boldly take on challenges with “teamwork,” which is the greatest strength of Shirai Electronics Industry.
