ALPHA WAY

Under the Corporate Philosophy of “With the mind freshened every day, we will keepchanging ourselves,” ALPHA wants to be an environment-conforming entity that can exist byadapting to its business environment.
ALPHA now promotes “Management by Principle.” It refers to managing the company
based on its Corporate Philosophy, Management Principle and Human Resources Principlethat are put in a statutory form, and with every employee’s complete understanding of theircontents that fosters “unification of values” within ALPHA Group.
We named the starting point for practicing the “Management by Principle” as “ALPHA WAY.”

Having something to aim for brings
people together and enables themto take on challenges.
We are proud of our 100-year history and will continue to challenge
ourselves to be a company that is loved and chosen for the next 100 years.
In April 2023, we announced the ALPHA 100 Year Declaration, "Let's get theworld moving."
In terms of a house key, if we have a robust and "secure" lock, we can go out
into the town without any worries.
If we can lock our car, we can travel to unfamiliar places even by ourselves,
and we can move things and people around.
Being able to leave our luggage in a locker allows us to move around freely
and does not disrupt the flow of people.
This is the ALPHA 100 Year Declaration, which is filled with our desire to "getthe world moving more dynamically."
It all started with a single key.
That was the first small step towards "peace of mind"... Starting with locks
for architectural hardware, we expanded our business into housing equipment,
automobile parts, and locker systems, and have grown into a manufacturing
company that supplies products around the world.
Behind this lies the overwhelming "amount of irregular experiences" wehave accumulated over the past 100 years, which is a strength that no othercompany can match.
This means that experiences with harsh environmental conditions andunexpected uses have been incorporated into appropriate strength, rigidity, anddurability, and that learnings were made from the different crime prevention
standards in each country, thus serving as the basis for ongoing evolution of ourproducts.
We are entering an ambiguous times that will continue to be marked bygreater volatility, uncertainty, and complexity, where many options arise. How
we overcome such times and create an environment in which we can take onchallenges in the future ahead will be a test of our true strength.
To that end, leveraging our 100 years of experience, we will help people andthings move freely with greater "peace of mind," and get the world moving.
Each and every employee of Team ALPHA will continue to take pride in ourwork and work hard to be loved and chosen by everyone.
We greatly appreciate your continued guidance and support.
