New Year Greeting from Kazuki Kusakawa, CEO of SB C&S

As we welcome the New Year, I would like to extend my warmest greetings. It has been 12 years since our establishment as an independent entity, and in this time, we have consistently achieved growth and profitability, which would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our valued partners and customers. Thank you sincerely for your continued trust in us.

Since taking on the role of CEO in April 2024, I’ve introduced three key growth strategies: challenging new business ventures, expanding our services, and a strong focus on AI (Artificial Intelligence). We see the changes and innovations brought about by new technologies as significant opportunities. By evolving our business models and expanding our realms of operations, we have successfully fostered sustainable growth in collaboration with our sales partners and manufacturers.

In response to the rapidly growing demand for AI, we provide a comprehensive one-stop solution for AI infrastructure, both on-premise and in the cloud, in partnership with leading global manufacturers. Furthermore, we offer the necessary testing environments and expert knowledge for companies to maximize their AI initiatives.

In the realm of recurring revenue services, we have enhanced our portfolio with advanced cloud services and cybersecurity solutions, bolstered by a dedicated team of specialists offering information and solutions. We are also advancing consumer services linked to smartphones and mobile accessories.

Additionally, we are venturing into new markets by supplying multi-payment services (PayCAS) and DX (Digital Transformation) solutions to municipalities and various shops nationwide.

Our company mission is clear - to deliver cutting-edge technology made possible by the information revolution to users across the nation, alongside our partners and manufacturers. This is in line with our corporate vision of connecting people and technology to create an exciting future together.

As the necessity for AI Transformation (AX) increases, our role as connectors will be crucial. We are committed to supporting domestic companies in promoting AX and enhancing their competitiveness.

Together with all employees, we renew our commitment to becoming a company that stakeholders choose for quality service. We appreciate your continuous support and feedback as we strive for excellence in all our endeavors in the coming year.
