We are deeply grateful to our business partners who have allowed us to continue operating throughout all these years.
At WADA INDUSTRIES, our company motto is "To be the go-to company for our customers". We operate our business with the belief that our success depends on providing products that satisfy the customer. As such, we are always listening to customer feedback, seriously examining issues, using our knowledge to resolve problems, and at times humbly asking for external instruction to solve each issue one by one. I believe repeating these basic processes is the most important factor to our company operations.
As the times change, so too do the needs of our customers. While our company started with electric switches, we now deal with ultra-fine connectors used in smartphones and in-vehicle connectors that are responsible for the safety of human life. Our production bases are no longer only in Japan, but overseas as well. We are always challenging ourselves to meet the changing times, working to be a company that many customers will turn to.
