"When in trouble, we support each other." The sentiment from 70 years ago remains unchanged. In 1956, Shigeko Makino established "Aichi Konkatsusai Gojokai Co., Ltd." with the idea, "One person's goodwill can only help so many. Therefore, let's create a system for mutual support." This founding spirit has been passed down through the ages, evolving in company name and business form, leading to the current LEXT. And in 2026, thanks to everyone's support, LEXT will celebrate its 70th anniversary. Our origin, unchanged since our founding, is to be there for our customers' joys and sorrows through life's ceremonies. With gratitude in our hearts, we will continue to move forward towards our 100th anniversary. We look forward to your continued patronage. For joy. For sorrow. LEXT. ■ Message from the Representative Since our founding in 1956, our company has reached the significant milestone of its 70th anniversary. We are deeply grateful for the warm support and immense contributions we have received from all stakeholders over many years. I myself was taught by the founder, "Go out and see the customers," and with these words in mind, I have always refined our services based on customer feedback and contributed to the development of the industry. Furthermore, in the coming era, I believe it is important to be flexible and adapt to change as a "follower with a customer-centric perspective." Moving towards our 100th anniversary, we will transform the mutual aid system from being solely for "times of death" to a "mechanism that supports life," realizing a new form of mutual aid in an aging society. We look forward to your continued patronage.
