Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
(1) We always prioritize customer requests and emphasize a hands-on approach. We strive to achieve maximal environmental management through our fully customized products. 
(2) We are proud to offer solutions to restaurants that are suffering from water discharge problems and have been issued improvement orders from local authorities.
(3) We have accumulated evidence-based expertise that allows us to cope with a wide variety of installation challenges. Specifically, we are able to conduct discharge water analysis before and after the installation.  
(4) We have built a win-win business model through our integrated system of production that extends from design to installation.
(5) We know our customers are satisfied, because most of our clients are introduced by referral and place repeat orders.

[Industry]
Manufacturing and distribution

[Strength of products/technologies]
(1) Our products ensure 99.5% or higher oil separation efficiency (conformance to SHASE is approved by the General Building Research Corporation of Japan). 
(2) We have received six third-party on-site Environment Technology Verification (ETV) performance evaluations conducted by the Ministry of the Environment, which is the most in Japan.
(3) Separated oil can be reused, and we have established a recycling channel for it.
(4) Our oil separator has the additional advantage of low-cost operation, since the only necessary cost is power.
(5) Reducing wasted sludge derived from discharged water means cutting back on the cost of industrial waste disposal.
(6) Also, separating oil from wastewater can prevent oil clogs in drainpipes. This opens the way for eating and drinking establishments to be positioned in previously unlikely locations such as the upper floors of high-rise buildings and underground spaces. In this way, our oil separator can promote more effective use of real estate.
(7) Our oil separators are fully customized to ensure excellent operational efficiency.

[Representative's message]
Japan is an environmental pioneer. As a Japanese company, we are fully convinced that our breakthrough technology and expertise can support more efficient business operations. This is applicable to eating and drinking establishments in large shopping malls, massive worksite cafeterias, and food factories in Japan and also in other countries. Our technology is environmentally beneficial and boasts cost performance superior to that of our non-Japanese competitors, offering additional strength to Japanese corporations operating in other countries. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
The characteristic features of our technology are our innovative device structures and know-how. Once a company has learned how to carry out sheet metal processing, it is easy for them to build devices themselves at overseas companies. Our company has established a network of corporate and individual partners overseas, along with relationships with research institutions and local administrations. This has been done with the help of international students introduced by Dr. Ryozo Noguchi at the Graduate School of the University of Tsukuba. There are no researchers in Japan specializing in this field, so we help support returning adult students at the University of Tsukuba and Tohoku University. (This applies to students who have passed a class-one national examination and have been admitted to a doctoral program in their current field). 

[Market share/Ranking]
Our current market share is unknown, but our technology is a world-first and winner at the Global 100 Eco-Tech Awards. There are copycat products with performance problems, but not a single one of our authentic products has ever been returned due to customer dissatisfaction.
