To Create a Sound and Dynamic Corporation

The Ryobi Group closely adheres to its corporate philosophy, “Create a Sound and Dynamic Corporation through Technology, Trust and Challenge.” We seek to embody this philosophy by establishing ourselves as an indispensable corporate citizen responding to the needs of customers and society in general with innovative top-quality products and services.

Over the course of the first half of fiscal 2025, the Ryobi Group confronted ongoing difficulties in formulating the future outlook due mainly to the impact of U.S. trade policies, anxiety over the deceleration of the global economy, unstable foreign exchange rates, surging resource and energy prices, and the continued seriousness of geopolitical risks. In particular, automakers—the main customers of the Company’s Die Castings Business—are now facing the risk of a downturn in vehicle sales and other negative consequences arising from the introduction of U.S. tariffs.

Meanwhile, “giga casting” began attracting immense attention as the automotive industry promotes efforts to reduce GHG emissions. This method is capable of producing such large automotive components as chassis and battery casing via integrated die-cast molding. As a manufacturer specialized in die casting, Ryobi became the first in Japan to introduce an ultra-large die casting machine with a clamping force of 6,500 tons and, in March 2025, initiated prototype manufacturing services using it. In anticipation of the coming new era of manufacturing, Ryobi will thus continue to take on new challenges as a leading die casting company, with the aim of achieving sustainable growth.

Looking ahead, the Ryobi Group will continue to step up and enhance its initiatives to create a “Sound and Dynamic Corporation.” We ask for your ongoing support for our endeavors.
