Message from President
I am honored to have you visit KOWA Kentucky, Inc. “KOWA” website, because it means you are interested in our company. It is needless to say that KOWA will be a great global company by following our corporate philosophy and company policies. But it is also my belief that a great global company needs to provide our Staff Members a “Safe” work environment and everyone being “happy”. Here is how it works. Every division works together as a team to achieve customer satisfaction with our products. A satisfactory product cannot be produced without each “happy” KOWA Staff Member working in a safe environment, believing in KOWA’s philosophy, and following KOWA’s policies.
KOWA earns customer’s trust, and prosper by supplying each a perfect product furnished every day by KOWA’s Staff Members. Everyone at KOWA is working toward this goal. KOWA’s “All for One” teamwork provides an environment to help one another with any problem that occurs in reference to our customer need.
All KOWA Staff Members are capable of teamwork every day, work safe, and be “happy”.
Saetsu Sato
President
