The Sysmex Way—our Group's Corporate Philosophy—defines Sysmex's mission as “Shaping the advancement of healthcare.” Since our establishment in 1968, we have striven to contribute to resolving global medical challenges through our core business in laboratory testing of blood, urine, and other specimens, and today we support the health of people in more than 190 countries and regions around the world. In addition to generating further innovations in our core laboratory testing business, we will continue to pursue challenges in new fields such as surgical support robots, in order to enhance the “healthcare journey”—the life-long healthcare experience that each individual undergoes—based on our corporate message, “Together for a better healthcare journey.” We will also strive to deliver new value through our unique technologies and solutions as well as through creative collaborations with a variety of partners.
