Yume no ki (The Dream Tree)

The dream tree symbolizes the vision of Somic Ishikawa's
Gour elements, soil, roots, a trunk, and fruits make up the dream tree. The tree loaded with fruits is what we dream of "the top global ball joint manufacturer. "

The dream tree springs from the soil that is, the foundation of Somic Ishikawa "Somic Way," a corporate culture that our predecessors cultivated. "Somic Way" is symbolized by spirits of "Friendship" and "Challenge."

New corporate vision is rooted deeply in the long-cultivated soil.
When employees put their efforts together in line with guiding principles, the trunk of the company grows bigger and bears four fruits.

What do we define "the global top "? The dream tree describes it as a perpetual realization of the cooperate vision in a metaphor of four fruits grown on the tree and not just a top position in market share and sales.

There will be more people gather together under Somic when our dream tree reaches its maturity.
