Since its founding in 1955, JCM has expanded its business fields globally while pursuing the high ideal of contributing to social stability through labor-saving innovations in currency handling operations and ensuring fair and reliable circulation of currency. Our corporate activities have consistently focused on maintaining trust between people and money.
In the commercial markets surrounding our Group, both in Japan and overseas—particularly in the finance, distribution, and transportation sectors—there is significant latent demand, especially in Asia. In Japan as well, demand drivers are expected to emerge over the medium term, such as the Tokyo Olympics and the anticipated opening of integrated resort (IR) facilities, despite uncertainties.
On the other hand, we recognize that the global gaming market and Japan’s amusement equipment market continue to face a challenging business environment, with ongoing market contraction and intensified price competition. These trends are observed against a backdrop of shifting consumer preferences for entertainment and structural changes within the industry.
In light of this environment, we are accelerating our focus on commercial markets where growth is anticipated. Effective April 1, 2017, we integrated domestic finance, distribution, and transportation sales functions—previously operated by a subsidiary—into our former Global Operations Division. Through this initiative, we aim to secure sales opportunities and develop new business fields and products in commercial sectors, both in Japan and overseas, thereby positioning these efforts as a new pillar of revenue.
In our overseas gaming business, we are working to create synergy and added value following our acquisition of FutureLogic in August 2014, strengthening our position as a comprehensive component supplier in the global gaming market.
Domestically, we are actively developing the business acquired from former Silver Denken (transferred in September 2016), while continuously gathering and analyzing industry trends to swiftly adapt our sales and product development strategies.
At the same time, we are responding flexibly to various changes in the business environment. We will continue to pursue strategic alliances and M&A to reinforce our sustainable management foundation, while also promoting operational efficiency through fixed cost reduction and other measures.
Under our Medium-Term Management Plan “JCM Global Vision 2032,” announced in May 2023 with FY2025 (fiscal year ending March 31, 2026) as the final year, we are committed to achieving sustainable growth and enhancing our long-term corporate value.
We sincerely appreciate your continued guidance and support.
