[Industry]
Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have many original products as a plant maker, so we can supply a plant series solely with our company’s products. We have established various in-house biomass pyrolysis technologies. At this point we are confident that our company is second to none in the world. We can support various customer needs for raw materials, purposes, and severe conditions. We are working on new technology involving collecting liquid fuel from biomass resources, generating electricity, freeze-concentration, and methane fermentation. We have became an enterprise that can contribute to solving global warming problems, countermeasures against PM2.5, and the energy and food crisis.

[Representative's message]
Our company’s motto is to be “the first one.” With this as our motto we have been conducting R&D as an environmental equipment manufacturer related to biomass resources. We have been entrusted with national projects under joint work with many research institutions and universities. We have a good track record with almost all organic substances, so the fact that we possess various in-house technologies is our company’s advantage. We have begun to make use of these technologies to develop overseas business in the EU, South America, Africa, etc., in addition to our usual territory in Asia.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our business strategy office is the point of contact for new business and overseas projects. Our environment business unit or agricultural equipment unit will take over later on, in the order-receiving stage, according to the content of the technology. A representative directly joins in the group for projects with high technology elements, and is directly involved in the negotiations with the customer, information gathering, and technological support.
