Looking back on the year 2023, although the domestic market environment was not optimistic, we still managed to achieve decent performance thanks to everyone's hard work. At this moment, I would especially like to thank everyone for their dedicated efforts, our customers for their trust, and RJ along with other Rorze sibling companies for their staunch support.

    Looking forward to 2024 and the future market conditions, ever since the embargo on imported equipment, domestic equipment manufacturers have rapidly risen, which has brought us significant development opportunities. At the same time, our competitors are accelerating their localization processes, presenting us with unprecedented challenges. As an international brand, Rorze can proudly say that we are ahead of many foreign manufacturers in the process of localization, which is extremely important because localization means that our customers do not have to worry about our supply, minimizing the impact of geopolitical issues. For this, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to RJ's President Teshirogi and the Board of Directors for their strong support of localization.

    Our competitors are also rapidly developing, continuously eroding our market share, which does not allow us to be complacent for even a moment! However, I firmly believe that the company will develop into a century-old brand because there are passionate and spirited young people joining the battle, continually pushing the company forward!
