New Corporate Message "Beyond Devices." Established

In conjunction with the company name change, we have established "Beyond Devices." as our new corporate message.

Since our founding, we have operated as a "device manufacturer," providing a wide range of products, primarily PC peripherals. While we have delivered value in fields essential to the digital society, such as LCD displays, hard disk drives, and network equipment, in recent years, our efforts have expanded beyond simply providing devices to proposing solutions that address the challenges of people and businesses, guiding them to optimal solutions.

Based on these changes, the message "Beyond Devices." embodies our desire to be a company that delivers experiences and value that go beyond the framework of "devices," while using "devices" as a starting point. We will continue to build upon our manufacturing foundation cultivated over the years and leverage our strengths to provide further value.

With this change, officially adopting "I-O DATA," which has been known as our brand, as our company name, we are embarking on a new start and working to create value for the next era.
