MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT

“Connecting and making connections. For people, for society.”

President and Representative Director Toshitake MasukoPresident and Representative Director

Just two years after the war ended, EAML was established based on the conviction of our founder Shiro Oda that “increased food production and enhanced electric power were essential to save impoverished Japan.”

The company worked to spread small-scale hydropower as a method to improve daily life in rural areas, travelling around Japan to survey sites fit for hydropower and making efforts to construct generating stations. These efforts supported the recovery and electrification in many communities primarily in the Chugoku region, and made significant contributions to the restoration of the local society.

Almost 80 years have passed since then. Times have changed and the social environment surrounding us has also undergone significant changes. As we currently face new issues including the conservation of the global environment and sustainability for the energy industry, hydropower has once again attracted attention as renewable energy and is increasing in importance. Even if the goal changes from “post-war recovery” to “achieving a sustainable society through renewable energy,” the value of hydropower remains the same. “Let’s work for the improvement and betterment of society.” This aspiration of our founder has been passed down as an unbroken tradition to us today in the form of our corporate spirit, “EAML Heritage.”

Through “VISION 80,” our mid- to long-term management plan aimed at the 80th anniversary of our founding in 2027, we strive not only to further enhance our artisan skills as a manufacturer, but also to undertake new challenges and initiatives aimed at promoting further implementation of small-scale hydropower. Cherishing dialogue with our customers, partner companies, local community members, and all our employees, we will cultivate connections and make efforts to provide the value demanded for the next generation.

“Connecting and making connections. For people, for society.”

Moving forward, we will continue to connect with a sense of purpose, pass our aspirations onward, and contribute to the sustainable development of society with the power of water. We ask for your continued understanding and support.
