Message from the President

I am honored to have been appointed as President and Representative Director of the company and feel a great sense of responsibility. I will do my utmost to guide the Rasa Group on its new path toward growth together with Chairman Imura under the dual representative director structure.

Rasa is a specialized trading company with a history spanning 86 years that has grown through having the top share of products in niche markets. This is the result of the efforts of our predecessors and the support of our shareholders, customers, partner companies, and all other stakeholders, something for which we are deeply grateful.

As we face a major turning point, the Rasa Group will identify what should be passed down and what should be changed to create a new future for the Rasa Group and will proactively strive toward transformation.

Leveraging the valuable assets we have inherited from Chairman Imura, such as a profitable foundation for stable growth as well as the corporate culture of open communication and employee mindset of addressing challenges head on that has fostered this, we have launched a new medium-term management plan starting in FY2025 and will promote proactive management that includes forays into new markets and territories as well as the creation of new businesses to move to a new stage of growth.

We hope you will stay tuned for what the Rasa Group has in store for its future management and ask for your continued support.

June 2025
