2Message from the PresidentYokogawa Electric Corporation marked its 100th anniversary on September 1. To help commemorate this major milestone, we have compiled this booklet in the hope that this will reinforce our understanding of the principles Yokogawa has upheld since its foundation and encourage everyone to work together to put the company on the right track for another 100 years of success.Yokogawa traces its history back to 1915, when Dr. Tamisuke Yokogawa, a prominent architect, founded an electric meter research institute in Shibuya, Tokyo. His ultimate aim was to begin the manufacturing of electric meters, which were all imported in those days, and launch a new era for the measurement industry in Japan. Amidst drastic social and economic changes, Yokogawa continued to transform itself by expanding the scope of its business from measurement to control and information solutions, and provided essential core technologies that helped to spur industrial growth.At the time of the company’s founding, Dr. Yokogawa explained his business philosophy to Ichiro Yokogawa, who later would become the company’s rst president, and Shin Aoki, the eventual rst chief engineer. Passed down over the years to the present day, these founding principles emphasize putting quality rst, having a pioneering spirit, and contribution to society. Based on these principles, Yokogawa has built trust not only with its customers, but also the broader society, and has gone on to develop new technologies and become a global enterprise. Our commitment to these principles is rm and unchanging.Our business environment is changing dramatically as a result of globalization and the transition to a multipolar world order. Likewise, change is coming to industry as trends such as the integration of things and information gather momentum. At this crucial juncture, Yokogawa is transforming itself to set the stage for continued growth.
