Hello!
\nToday we bring you the interview series!<\/p>\n

The first interview is with the president of Takakura Kohgyo, Mr. Yasuo Takahashi.
\nAs Takakura Kohgyo Co.,Ltd. was founded in 1939, current president Mr. Yasuo Takahashi is fourth- generation president.
\nWe heard some stories unique to fourth-generation and his future prospect in this interview.<\/p>\n

Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr. Takahashi, you are fourth-generation of Takakura Kohgyo Co.,Ltd. Were you born and raised in Kasugai-city?<\/p>\n

Actually, I was born in Yokohama-city. My father had decided to take over the family business and we moved to Kasugai when I was in first grade of primary school. I have been living Kasugai-city after that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You were born in Yokohama! I didn\u2019t know that.
\nWhat was your childhood like?<\/p>\n

I loved playing outdoors, playing baseball, fishing, going bike riding, playing dodgeball, was an energetic boy. I was an attention seeker, but not a character such like becoming a class representative. I liked and enjoyed being a committee member for school events such as sports festivals and school trips.<\/p>\n

I belonged to Handball club in Junior high school, Badminton club in High school, and Ski club in University, I used to try many different sports to enjoy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr. Takahashi always actively listens to employee\u2019s and external opinions, and tries to incorporate them to his management.
\nIt seems we might be able to say this root came from between his childhood and school days.<\/p>\n

\nManagement Philosophy<\/h2>\n

\u201cTO MAKE OUR CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, AND COMPANY ALL HAPPY\u201d<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s get something straight, perhaps I can say I\u2019ve had a \u201csheltered life\u201d. Because fortunately we have a family business that has been running for many years since I was born, so I have lived without any inconvenience. Maybe that\u2019s why, I think I am a type of personality who has not a so-called hungry spirit.<\/p>\n

When I started to work as a president of the company, first thing that I did was pondering \u201cwhat do I want to do\u201d. In that moment, one thing which came to mind was \u201cSince we are all here, I want to improve the company with all the team together\u201d, that was simple feeling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mangement Philosophy of \u201cTO MAKE CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES AND COMPANY ALL HAPPY\u201d, your thought is put into it!<\/p>\n

\nWhat is \u201cGrinding Wheels\u201d for you?<\/h2>\n

Grinding Wheels are consumable goods. Our grinding wheels are mainly used for wood materials, tiles, injection needles and automobile components, but grinding wheels are an essential part of most industries. The customers cannot manufacture their products without grinding wheels. I feel responsibility that we are manufacturing the behind-the-scene products which are indispensable to the industrial world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have been familiar with grinding wheels because it\u2019s our business since I was born, so personally I don\u2019t have any special and extraordinary feelings toward them. However, I have always had the desire to \u201cmake products better than ever\u201d for our customers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After I share with team the desire to create \u201cthis kind of grinding wheel\u201d, and when it can be created exactly what we desired, it is one of the most satisfying and happy moment for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
