Hello. I'm Jun Taniguchi. Vice President of Development Division in Komatsu Ltd. I'd like to introduce to about Komatsu and our products. Komatsu is a Japanese company established in 1921, already we have over 100 years history. Our main business is construction, mining, and utility equipment. Over 90% of sales are in this category. The rest of our business is forestry machinery, industrial machinery, and so on. Our net sales of last fiscal year were over 3,500 billion yen, approximately 25 billion US dollars. We are a global company. We are selling our products all over the world. Actually, the share of the Japanese market is only 10%. Currently, we have a particularly high share in North America and Latin America. Our main product for construction and mining business are bulldozer, excavator, wheel loader, dump truck, and motor grader. Also mining, after we acquired Joy Global in 2017, our products have been widely expanded, like lope shovel, drill, and underground mining equipment. We are mainly selling such kinds of machines, but we are also selling solution applications to improve the efficiency of construction and mining businesses. Currently, electrification, automation, and digitalization are our key developments. We need to accelerate to develop and deploy new products and solution applications with these features in a timely manner. In order to do that, our collaboration with Advantech is so important.
