| An important facet of Okamura's growth has been diversification. When branching out into new areas and markets, we have employed our accumulated manufacturing knowledge to give us a competitive advantage. We have also paid close attention to utilizing the most effective management techniques available, which led us to become one of Japan's earliest users of computerized management information systems. |
