[Strength of products/technologies]
The sorting bucket we developed for hydraulic shovels, the 3D (San-D) bucket, can sort waste, earth and sand into three sizes and process the sorted materials efficiently, by a unique new method. In addition, the net of the sorting bucket has an exchangeable structure, which enables sorting according to the size of the mesh.

[Representative's message]
We not only manufacture and sell ready-mixed concrete, which is our core business, but also are actively expanding into new fields. In addition to manufacturing and selling the 3D bucket for sorting work, we are entering the locally-rooted agriculture and forestry industries, thereby making our company relied upon and trusted by the community. We strive to fulfill our social responsibilities by contributing to the community, in order to celebrate our 50th and 60th anniversaries.
