Re-creation

Since its inception, IMI has upheld a new "ten year vision" every ten years to transform its products and services to be more fitting to the contemporary demands. The company devises "scrap and build strategies for its business modes" that span import and sale, manufacture and sale, wholesale, maintenance services, rental services and education services. Without being confined by past experience, the company starts at ground zero and re-creates its "corporate policies, organization and officers," shuffling all to come up with a new set.

The company does not let the flow of a corporate life cycle, that begins with inception and moves through growth, maturity, decline and closure, dictate its future. Instead, it returns to new inception and a growth period every ten years to keep the company slip into the mature stage. This is IMI's Re-creation.
