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.
President and CEO,
SATO, Takao
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 SEED contact lens at the manufacturing plant in order to ensure the utmost safety of the eyes that wear them. SEED also takes its environmental responsibility seriously and ensures its facilities are eco-friendly.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY UTILISATION
SEED uses one of Japan’s largest steam accumulators to supply steam, which is essential for the autoclave sterilisation of contact lenses, in a stable and economical way. In addition, we have set up solar panel generation systems on the rooftop of the buildings to make use of renewable energy.
The introduction of FEMS energy management system in our manufacturing plant allows us to monitor and manage the effective use of electricity.
REDUCING 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 a 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. We are continuously working on improvement of conservation with the aim to minimise environmental impact.
HIGH STANDARD OF INSPECTION PROCESS AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
To ensure the quality of the product, we only ship products that have been manufactured under strict quality management system and thorough inspection.
Furthermore, using two-dimensional code and ID tag, we have implemented integrated management of production and distribution. It enables all of the lenses shipped to be traceable.
The manufacturing plant has obtained the certification of ISO13485:2003, which is the international standard of quality management systems for medical devices. This helps to further strengthen our quality control system.
