[Strength of products/technologies]
Our products are working hard for major companies, forest owner cooperatives, research facilities, and individual users in various fields. Our crushers can crush chips into a size (from 300 μm to 15 mm) desired by the customer. We won an award from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for our development of crushers. We have the top market share in the field of small and medium-size crushers, and we are proud of our top position in crushing technologies.

[Representative's message]
Our company researches, develops, and manufactures machines that transform wood waste into beneficial resources by means of crushing. Our chip shredders were born in the context of tougher restrictions on outdoor burning and incineration. The problem of deserted bamboo groves is becoming serious these days. This is why we developed a bamboo crusher to achieve our wish to utilize cut bamboo while maintaining bamboo groves. In the future we will extend our sales channels from Japan to East Asia and Europe.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We conduct OEM transactions in Japan with major manufacturers of agricultural machinery and we also sell our products through our own sales channels. We have dedicated overseas sales staff and we participate in Asian and European exhibitions to exploit new sales channels. Overseas specifications are changed with the support of our R&D function to support CE marking and to meet local needs. In the future we would like to actively accumulate on-site achievements such as demonstrations.
