SOC Board Member’s Contribution Featured in The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun

On February 17, 2025, an article by Tetsuro Aikawa, former president of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and SOC Director, was featured in The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, highlighting the vital role of small manufacturing companies in supporting local employment and the economy.

Using our company as an example—where we manufacture thousands of fuse types—the article passionately describes the pride and rewards of small-scale manufacturing, the significance of the jobs created by locally rooted businesses, and their role in addressing the challenges posed by Japan’s declining birth rate.

As regional revitalization and demographic shifts remain pressing issues nationwide, we, at SOC, are proud to contribute, even in small ways, to these critical solutions.
