Our founder, Mr. Takekio Mitsunobu (1914 ~1992), promoted business for almost half a century and had a dream of " developing Shinko as a total manufacturer of the semiconductor package". The things he had continuously valued from its founding were manufacturing better products as a result of always being at the manufacturing site, nurturing talent, efficient resource utilization, and support of the local community.
We aim for "infinite growth" and developing excellent manufacturing sites by basing all of our employee's efforts on our founding philosophy.
The spirit of economizing embodies the principles that we follow in corporate business activities such as investing wisely in necessities and minimizing waste. We strive to use limited resources effectively by developing a wide and flexible vision, and racking our brains.
Episode
[ Mr. Takekio Mitsunobu's executive office ]
This wooden building was relocated to Kurita when the first plant was constructed in 1957. Originally it was used as a silk reeling factory before becoming the welfare facilities at the Fujitsu Suzaka plant. Mr. Mitsunobu took over it from Fujitsu and he reassembled it at the Kurita Plant. The second floor had an executive room and a drawing room. Even after Mr. Mitsunobu became the chairman of the board, he kept using this building saying this was sufficient. Although he invested in manufacturing, he never spent money for such things as remodeling rooms which never contribute directly to company business.
We believe the basis of our business and the solution to all problems are at the manufacturing site. Each individual fills a leading role, works spontaneously and improves things continuously in order for the manufacturing site to innovate as the source of the profits.
Mitsunobu’s Quotes
"Go to the site and find the problems. After finding them, never leave until you determine the cause."
"Just as having dreams is important in our life, having dreams, great ambitions and high aims in business is also important. However, we must have a soroban because dreams without realistic funding will never come true."
*Soroban is a traditional Japanese calculator. It also signifies the calculation of profit and loss.
Mitsunobu’s Quotes
"Great ambitions and dreams are absolutely necessary for training the young workers. I think managers need to have dreams so they can cultivate their insight. We can develop strategies based on the interpretations of those dreams such as 'Keep developing technologies on our own. It might produce something new.' So I think we should not work randomly, but have a dream."
We strive to live in harmony with the local community and environment, use resources wisely, and improve each employee's well being by working and caring for each other. We encourage responsibility for all individuals, the use of limited natural resources and the global environment while remembering our appreciation.
Episode
[ Contribution to the region by the Hokushin Scholarship Foundation ]
In 1990, two years prior to when Mr. Mitsunobu's life of 78 years came to a close, he established the Hokushin Scholarship Foundation by donating 300,000 Shinko shares from his retirement payment. He believed that each person was an asset to a company and to the society in the future, so the education of a person would continue to get more important. This foundation has been offering scholarships to students of science, engineering and medicine every year.
