Pioneering an era of transformation through the power of people and data

We extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support of the Uchida Yoko Group.

The rapidly advancing decline in birth rates is profoundly altering Japan's very social structure. To achieve sustainable growth, it is essential to transition towards a society that maximises the potential of our limited human resources and enhances their value through data. We believe that investment in both “people” and “data” is the most critical theme for Japan's future.

For 116 years, the Uchida Yoko Group has supported Japan's “work” and “learning”. We are now evolving into an organisation that shares resources across diverse business units involved in ICT and environmental infrastructure, bringing together expertise across fields.

Under our 17th Mid-Term Management Plan (July 2025 to July 2027), we are accelerating management transformation through business unit reorganisation and strengthened collaboration. In the inaugural 87th fiscal year, we achieved record-high sales and all profit metrics. We interpret this as a result of our longstanding focus on the domains of “people” and “data” aligning with societal demands, against the backdrop of expanding digital investment in both the public and private sectors.

This year marks the Year of the Fire Horse. Sixty years ago, in the previous Year of the Fire Horse, we transitioned to a company system upon listing and embarked on new challenges, including our computer business. This also signalled the beginning of our journey into the era of “people” and “data”. As we now face another period of transformation, we return to our origins and aim for further growth.

Our initiatives – such as the expansion of OAT, the CBT platform provider that joined our group, and the enhancement of our SMART series supporting future office workstyles – all represent challenges to broaden human potential and transform data into value.

The Uchida Yoko Group will continue to support Japanese society through the power of ‘people’ and “data”, centred on our vision of ‘Transforming Information into Value and Co-Creating Knowledge’.
