Kenden has maintained solid growth over the years as a trading company specializing in the electronics field, including the communications, information and industrial applications area and backed by the ties we have with Toshiba as our powerful business partner. We owe this success to the perspicacity of vision we had in anticipating the advent of the Electronics Age and the Advanced IT Society well ahead of others and to the tenacity of purpose we maintained in adhering to the principles of sound management while responding to the challenges of rapid changes in the market structure and management climate.
