Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) has long contributed to the development of social infrastructure, disaster recovery, and the support of people's lives and industrial activities through the sound development of the construction machinery industry. The roles played by construction machinery—ranging from urban development to resource and energy exploitation—continue to expand both in Japan and overseas.
Meanwhile, the environment surrounding our industry is undergoing a major turning point, driven by challenges such as a labor shortage due to a declining birthrate and aging population, the urgent need for carbon neutrality, and accelerating technological innovation. Amid these changes, for the industry to achieve sustainable growth, we believe it is essential to respect the independence of individual member companies while collaborating as an industry on shared challenges, thereby enhancing our value in harmony with society.
Guided by our principles of "Contributing to the World Through Harmony and Development" and "Coexistence and Competition," CEMA will drive industry-wide initiatives to create frameworks where technologies and products are not just isolated innovations, but are seamlessly integrated into society and function effectively on-site. To this end, we will pool the expertise of our member companies and proactively engage in improving the business environment and shaping international rules through collaboration with related industries, government agencies, and overseas organizations.
Furthermore, it is our vital mission to communicate the social significance and appeal of the construction machinery industry to the next generation, thereby expanding the talent pool. We will move forward hand in hand with our member companies to ensure that the future envisioned by the construction machinery industry leads to the realization of a safer and more sustainable society. We sincerely look forward to your continued understanding and support.
