[Comment by Mr. Motoki Ozawa, New
President and CEO]
NIDEK started from the
conviction of former President Mr. Hideo Ozawa,
that he would make things “invisible to
visible”. We sincerely appreciate your
devoted support that made our growth to date
possible. We continue to embrace Mr. Ozawa’s
conviction. In my opinion, our corporate
social responsibility role will be enhanced in
this advanced information age and with our aging
societies. We plan to make further efforts
to grow through clinical contributions to the
healthcare industry that will become beneficial to
our societies. Your continued support is greatly
appreciated.
