School events such as school closures and school trips, which were previously taken for granted, were cancelled for about four years, and children faced many constraints. JTEKT decided to hold the "JTEKT Night" event to help children experience the joy and magnificence of coming together and sharing their thoughts with others.
On the day, there were many unforgettable moments, such as the children's smiles and cheers and the many "thank you" messages. JTEKT will continue to engage in regional contribution activities for the sake of the Earth, society, and customers.
