Growth drivers
  • Increased orders from Japanese customer model changes and expanded adoption of high-value products (new glass launch channels)
  • North America cost improvements and yen weakness boosting profitability
  • North America subsidiary equipment investment under 2030 Global Plan strengthening production capacity
