As updated on our website, the Bunri Group held an employee general meeting on June 28, 2024.

Since last year, the Bunri Group has been hosting this meeting in a hybrid format, live streaming from the "Wellness Exchange Plaza Musica Hall" to each office.

This time, we would like to share the atmosphere of the meeting and convey what the Bunri Group is working on.

Our representative, Mr. Tashiro, announced this year's theme: building a foundation to realize management based on principles, "Foundation Strength." The goal is to continue challenging new endeavors, carrying the trust and achievements built over 64 years. We will continue to challenge ourselves fearlessly in the 65th year.

Since last year, the Bunri Group has launched eight projects under the group's vision. In this meeting, each project leader presented the policies and future directions with great enthusiasm, and we shared our commitment to working on these projects with all employees.

We held the BUNRI AWARD ceremony, recognizing outstanding employees and long-serving members who excelled in various departments over the past year. Most of the awards were for achievements in improving production efficiency at manufacturing sites. We believe that a well-organized workplace and increased production efficiency ultimately lead to customer satisfaction. Additionally, many long-serving employees were honored again this year in Bunri, known for its high retention rate.

The BUNRI GROUP Taiko team "Rinbu," which was formed during last year's meeting, practiced hard to perform a new piece for this day. The performance by the nine-member team was powerful and impressive. We plan to showcase it to the local community in the future.

We included the "BUNRI Quiz," a highly popular event from last year's meeting, again this year. Employees enjoyed a team competition using video and photos to create quizzes devised by the general meeting project members from each site. The winning team will receive a special prize later.

The meeting concluded with a performance of Taiko, Biwa, and Shakuhachi by professional musicians. The performance, delivered by professionals who are also advisors to the BUNRI GROUP Taiko team "Rinbu," was nothing short of breathtaking.

After the meeting, we gathered some feedback from employees, and we would like to share a few comments with you. Many of the comments were related to this year's theme, "Foundation Strength."

・ One of the key elements mentioned for continuous evolution beyond generations was "Foundation Strength." Building a solid foundation (unwavering core) is essential for both the company and individuals.

・ "Foundation Strength" is the root of various aspects, such as people, the company, and connections. This meeting provided a great opportunity to rethink what we can do to strive for inclusive management.

・ Next year marks the 65th anniversary. I believe that daily accumulation is important, and I want to solidify the foundation even further.

Although the meeting was lengthy, divided into morning and afternoon sessions, it was a valuable time for communication across departments and offices. Going forward, the Bunri Group will unite as one, upholding this year's theme, "Foundation Strength," and will continue to strive to solve customer challenges.
