In June 2021, the latest medical material distribution base "Osaka Solution Center (hereinafter, Osaka SC)" that creates innovation in medical distribution, which has been developed and prepared mainly by the group company, Konishi Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., has begun full-scale operation. Osaka SC project has been jointly developed by open innovation, which many manufacturers involve. It installed various industry-first solutions such as automated guided vehicles (AGV), automated warehouses, automated logistics equipment such as the latest motor rollers, and medical material management that makes full use of RFID technology. The Group has named this next-generation medical material distribution realized by Osaka SC as "Smart Medical Solution" and will provide comprehensive solutions for solving problems in the medical materials industry. Currently, Osaka SC is gradually expanding its operation to medical facilities mainly in the Kansai area, and in the future, we will further expand the field taking into consideration cooperation with the entire group. With the full-scale operation of Osaka SC, the Group will aim to further expand its business by differentiating our SPD business from others and strengthening its competitiveness in the Medical Supply business that the Group operates.

Osaka Heavy Ion Therapy Center, which is the pillar of the fifth business area "Healthcare Service business", has treated a total of approximately 1,200 cancer patients from the start of the treatment in October 2018 to the present. This facility is the first privately-owned and -operated facility in Japan and has a great ripple effect on group businesses such as collaboration with medical institutions, collaboration with leading engineering companies in Japan, and acceptance of inspection teams from overseas. As the coverage of public medical insurance has expanded, the opportunities for more cancer patients to receive heavy ion therapy are increasing. The Group will continue to raise awareness for heavy ion therapy, which is the most advanced cancer treatment, and provide optimal treatment opportunities to all who need cancer treatment.

The Group has specialized in the fields of "Medical", "Health", "Welfare", "Nursing", and "Service", but each field is expanding its base and becoming more complex. In addition, in carrying out the group mission of "Creating an environment for medical professionals", issues that need to be addressed in the future are becoming apparent such as the spread of COVID-19 and the situation in Japan that many disasters occur. Under these circumstances, the Group is building a KKB business as our new business to solve those problems including disaster prevention that society faces. In the current fiscal year, we developed and provided fever outpatient units and simplified infection-control booth for medical institutions as a countermeasure against COVID-19, and actively promoted the sales of PB products such as the new series of "Airness" and "SHIP mask". Furthermore, we will aim to create a "medical" x "disaster prevention" industry in partnership with ONETABLE Inc., which develops disaster prevention solution business.
Through these businesses, the Group will contribute to a sustainable society and aim for long-term growth of the Group.
