Murakami is a company thathas developed by expanding into new businesses, meeting the changes of the times for 130 years. Always committed to offering what people and society demanded, we have gained their support and achieved today's growth. Now, we are at a major turning point to become a company that serves people better. In the Mirror Systems operations, our core business, the globalization of the automotive industry and market changes are making it more and more vital for us to expand in Emerging Countries and other overseas areas. In particular, considering demand in Asian markets, we need to offer broader product lines that aren't a simple extension of what we have offered in Japan. Looking hard at end-users'​ demands and developing strategies suited to each country, we will not only meet the demand of automakers but also enhance our abilities to propose solutions of our own. Meanwhile, to develop our strength as an enterprise, it is urgent for us to expand into other fields than the automotive industry, such as Opt-Electronics. By growing into a company that serves people in more aspects of their lives and whose employees feel happy working there, I'm convinced we will be able to best contribute to our community. At the 130th anniversary of its foundation, Murakami is striving to successfully kick off the next decades of its history. I look forward to your continued support and guidance.

Cleary Construction Inc. was established in Tompkinsville, Kentucky by founder, Ronnie H. Cleary in 1985. Ronnie began his company by offering services for paving, chip sealing, dozer, and end loader work. Shortly after the company’s founding, Ronnie’s son, Darren Cleary, came on board with the company as an equipment operator and crew superintendent and expanded Cleary’s repertoire. Darren and his crew completed a wide variety of installation jobs including septic tanks, small diameter water lines, residential foundations, and local soil conservation jobs. The company began to grow its bonding capacities, which allowed the company to expand geographically. Cleary started by acquiring additional contractor’s licenses for Tennessee and then Alabama. Shortly thereafter, Cleary Construction Inc. was awarded several municipality jobs. All the while, Cleary Construction Inc. was building strong relationships with owners and engineers and developing a reputation for delivering a quality finished product on time and within budget. Cleary Construction Inc. continued to expand by adding more employees from the entire Southeast, upgrading offices, and equipment; while the company maintained the close knit family atmosphere that had allowed it to thrive. Today, Cleary Construction Inc. has offices in both Kentucky and Alabama and works in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgian, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. In 2008, the company suffered a tremendous loss when founder, Ronnie H Cleary, lost his battle with lung cancer. The close knit, family company was shaken at the loss of its founder and leader but continued to move forward with the goals and the mindset that was instilled in them by Ronnie.
