Light Optical's Vision
Aiming to be the best in the world from Suwa
Our company has a high overseas sales ratio and exports products all over the world, including to the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
Instead of having a global market, we face fierce competition with manufacturers from all over the world every day.
We will continue to improve quality, technological development, delivery time, and cost, and continue to provide the best products to the world's top brands.
Aiming to be a strong company that will not go bankrupt
There are various external factors that affect corporate management, such as the global economy, technological innovation, recessions, etc. In order for our company to survive and not succumb to these external factors, we will proactively manage our business by changing more than the changes in the world, while preserving the things that we value.
