The growing consumer demand for shopping on the Internet has impacted the hardware industry as well, with profound implications for future developments in the industry. In anticipation of the completion of the transition from analog to digital television broadcasting in 2011, we hope to direct our efforts toward the realization of a ubiquitous network. While improvements in Web sites and mobile sites will certainly continue apace, with the popularization of digital television, we will also be exploring new venues for the first time in the hardware industry. The next generation site will soon be launched. Beginning in September 2004, you will be able to simply access our company site and order products direct from your living room using your television remote control.

Each Ueda employee is united in his/her resolve to work together as a team to ensure that Ueda Ironware will continue to provide quality products and service. We greatly appreciate your continued support and your loyal patronage.
