Perhaps this is a cultural thing of certain seclusion from the rest of the world, or a result of a language barrier as English is not so widespread in the country of the Rising Sun. But world needs to know its heroes, regardless of their origin, and Keyence is one of them.  <\/p>\n<p>Founded by a young entrepreneur without a university degree Takizaki Takemitsu, who is now occupying second place in Forbe\u2019s Japan\u2019s 50 Richest List, Keyence\u2019s key goal and vision is to help companies from variety of industries to embrace factory automation and reap vast benefits it can provide.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors has it that there is a peculiar corporate joke circling around that goes like this: \u201cWhat is the fastest animal in Japan? A Keyence sales rep\u201d. But for Keyence this is no joke as its direct sales force is at the very core of company\u2019s success. By working with buyers instead of channel partners and distributors, Keyence gets to know the end customers very well, and this information, enhanced by data analytics for trends spotting, translates into strong relationship and allows company to win orders more effectively than competitors.

As a result, 70% of its new products are World\u2019s First or Industry\u2019s First. Needless to say, that such strong market positioning results in superior growth and margin profile versus peers, making Keyence a valuable Top quality holding as of December 2023.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6c1c32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6c1c32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"847\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/hqam.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Annual-Sales-and-Margin-progression.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7532\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hqam.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Annual-Sales-and-Margin-progression.png 847w, https:\/\/hqam.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Annual-Sales-and-Margin-progression-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/hqam.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Annual-Sales-and-Margin-progression-768x414.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: HQAM, Company presentations<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4be8a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f4be8a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Despite cyclical volatility in sales, Keyence has managed to maintain very high level of profitability over the years thanks to its pricing power and efficient cost management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADVERTISEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This document has been prepared solely for information and advertising purposes and does not constitute a solicitation offer or recommendation to buy or sell any investment product or to engage in any other transactions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese companies have always had a flair of mystery surrounding them.
