Introducing Our Company Name and Brand Change Campaign

Since our independence on October 1, 2026, we have been asked in many different settings, "Who is Aratas?" and "What kind of company is Aratas?"

To answer these questions, we produced and released a brand movie in June, and since September, ahead of our independence, we have been running a company name and brand change campaign in 11 countries worldwide. We produced a 30-second teaser video to coincide with the launch of the campaign, and we are now rolling out a 90-second company introduction video as the centerpiece of the campaign.
We also visited our production and development sites in Japan and traveled to North America and Europe, where we asked our Aratas colleagues, who stand on the front lines with customers around the world, to candidly share their current thoughts. Please take a moment to listen to their passionate messages.
We are delighted to have received many messages of support for our company from customers and industry associations around the world. With these warm words of encouragement in our hearts, we at Aratas will now write a new chapter together with all of you.
