Message from the President
Thank you for your continuous support for our company.
I am Sato, the newly appointed President and CEO of SEED Co. Ltd.
With the domestic sales beginning to gain traction, I plan to continue to enhance our production capacity at the Konosu Reasearch Institute and aggressive sales expansion overseas. Despite having set the target of building the foundation for achieving 50 billion yen of sales in our medium-term management plan (April 2024 to March 2027), I understand that we have not achieved the expected results for the first year.
At the core, SEED is a manufacturer. Forming the basis of our business, I will firstly strengthen our manufacturing capabilities, and establish a solid foundation that enables us to manufacture and supply high-quality, high-value-added products in a stable manner. At the same time, I strive to establish a business structure that can swiftly, efficiently and flexibly respond to changes in the market. With these measures in place, I am determined we will achieve our set target in the third year.
I believe that contact lenses have an expanding potential to contribute to medical care through the addition of various new functions. The company will work together as a whole to increase our market presence and contribute to the development of the contact lens industry.
I would like to ask for your continued support..
Takao Sato
President & CEO
Make a society where the joy of having good vision can be created in many different ways.
High-Performance and Eco-Friendly Facility
All the manufacturing processes of SEED Pure Series are strictly managed at SEED Kounosu laboratory. Great care is taken in producing each pair of SEED contact lens at the manufacturing plant in order to ensure the utmost safety of human eyes. SEED takes its environmental responsibility seriously and ensures its facilities are eco-friendly.Energy Efficiency Utilization
SEED uses one of the nation's largest steam accumulators to supply steam, which is essential for the autoclave sterilization of contact lenses, in a stable and economical way. In addition, we have also set up solar panel generation system on the rooftop of the buildings to make use of renewable energy.
The introduction of FEMS energy management system in our manufacturing plant also allows us to monitor and manage the effective use of electricity.
Large Reduction of Water Consumption
Large amounts of pure water are used during the manufacturing process of soft contact lenses. To utilise discharged water from the factory, we have built the water recycling system for large-scale water conservation.
In addition, we have created eco-friendly technologies and facilities, i.e. the recycling of the plastics emitted from the manufacturing processes, and we are currently working on the conservation of global environment through various company activities.
High Standard of Inspection Process and Quality Management System
To ensure the quality of the products, we are shipping only products that passed through our strict quality management system and thorough inspection.
Furthermore, using the two-dimensional code and ID tag, we also implemented an integrated management system for production and distribution. This enables all lenses to be traced.
In addition, we have obtained the certification of IS013485, which is the international standard of quality management systems for the medical devices. This has further strengthened our quality control system.
