Change in President and Representative Director of Wacoal Corp.
January 31, 2011
Public Relations and Publicity Department of
Wacoal Corp.
The board of directors of Wacoal Corp. (Wacoal) resolved at a meeting held on January 28,
2011, and the board of directors of Wacoal Holdings Corp. (Wacoal Holdings) resolved at a meeting
held on January 31, 2011, to appoint Mr. Yoshikata Tsukamoto (currently holding the office of the
President, Representative Director and Corporate Officer) as the Chairman and Representative
Director and Mr. Hironobu Yasuhara (currently holding the office of the Director and Senior
Corporate Officer) as the President, Representative Director and Corporate Officer of Wacoal,
effective as of April 1, 2011.
Mr. Hironobu Yasuhara joined Wacoal in 1975. After gaining experience in the Product Sales
Department of the innerwear business and family clothes business divisions, he assumed the office
of the General Director of Beijing Wacoal (currently known as Wacoal China Co., Ltd.) in 1997.
Thereafter, he worked to convert the China-based joint venture company into a wholly-owned
subsidiary and helped establish the base of our present business expansion in China.
After that, for five years since 2005 he headed the Wing Brand Business Department, one of our
core domestic businesses, which targets chain stores. He made contributions not only to the
expansion of our ladies undergarment business but also to our mens undergarment business, while
holding positions as corporate officer and director. In 2010, he assumed the office of the General
Manager of Wacoal Brand Business Department and has steadily achieved satisfactory results in, for
instance, the revitalization of brassiere sales through such retail channels as department stores
and specialty retail stores.
He is thoroughly experienced in domestic operations, has vast experience in overseas
operations, and has been actively promoting, as a member of our management, the structural reform
which we began last year.
<<Comments by Mr. Hironobu Yasuhara, New President>>
I would like to speed up work on the three-year mid-term plan for the achievement of the
structural reform. I believe Wacoal has a strength that is lacking in other companies. Our mission
is to use our unique strengths to continue to provide products that our customers can love. Wacoal
has opportunities in not only the domestic ladies undergarment business but also in the markedly
growing domestic sporting goods business. Additionally, in other countries we have so many more
opportunities to increase sales. For
instance, there is room for growth in the rapidly expanding
Chinese market, as well as various opportunities due to the rapid business expansion in other Asian developing countries.
Using our management policies, I intend to work unflinchingly on new attempts to establish a Wacoal
that our consumers can look forward to and in which they can put their confidence.
<<Comments by Mr. Yoshikata Tsukamoto, the present President>>
Mr. Yasuhara has contributed to our business expansion in China in the past, and as for
domestic operations, he has steadily achieved satisfactory results in the expansion of the mens
undergarment business as well as in such things as the recovery of brassiere sales at department
stores for the last several years. After comprehensive examination of such results, and in
consideration of his personal magnetism, reliability and popularity within and outside the company,
we decided to appoint him to the position of President on this occasion of the change of the fiscal
year. Although we are in the middle of the mid-term management plan and in an early stage of
structural reform with so many tasks to be completed, I believe that our business development would
more quickly accomplished under his supervision. As Chairman, I will support Mr. Yasuhara and
continue my efforts to bring about a new Wacoal.
