We now make use of our accumulated in-house technologies to meet grating needs for swimming pools and entrance drainage, and we are developing wooden gratings as new seeds.

[Representative's message]
Our products are still not well known. We are aggressively promoting the development of sales channels in Japan through exhibitions and sales activities. Our products are also popular at exhibitions and other occasions in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia. We believe that there are markets in these Asian countries. We will use our unique technical power and Made-in-Japan quality as our weapons to promote sales. This will be done to achieve our mission to contribute to our customer countries and to increase domestic employment in Japan.
