Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our advantage is that we have a persistent spirit of study and development power. We can grasp our customer’s real intentions even if they are difficult, and realize what the customer wants. Our president Hiroshi Uchiumi leads our development efforts. We want to integrate excellent technologies about agriculture in order to protect food safety. We have focused on finding solutions for problems related to agriculture. We are confident from our past performance that we can find a solution for any kind of problem. We want to continue these efforts.



[Business description]
We mainly manufacture equipment related to agricultural facilities. Our HQ is located in Hokkaido’s Tokachi Subprefecture, which is a center of agricultural production. We also supply dairy farming products, and particularly products that make use of our advantages in effluent treatment technology for milking parlors. We are also working on businesses such as effluent treatment systems, compost agitation systems, vehicle sterilization equipment for preventing infectious diseases, and solar power generating systems. This is in addition to applying our technology to construct housing and carports.

[Industry]
Agricultural equipment manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have implemented septic tanks that can treat effluent from milk tanks and milking parlors, and sterilization equipment for vehicles that enables infectious disease control without having to use chemicals. We cooperate with a manufacturer of salt-free hypochlorous acid water to sell this water, which does not affect the human body, and so on. Our advantage is that we can take measures to preserve the environment in most agriculture-related projects.

[Representative's message]
Our company always takes seriously the challenges of problems faced by farmers, and we collaborate with them in creating the future of Japanese agriculture. All agriculture is basically linked to food for people, so we believe that equipment and devices related to agricultural businesses must be handled carefully. We have a policy of following and supporting the principles of nature in order to serve our customers. We will apply this policy to continue to take on challenges in any field, however new it may be.



[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We plan to expand our vehicle sterilization equipment business, which supports areas throughout Japan. There are few kinds of sterilization equipment that do not freeze in the winter season, but our sterilization equipment can completely sterilize the circumference of a tire. The sterilization effect of this product has proven to be outstanding compared with products from other companies. We want to expand sales in Japan and abroad.

We do not have detailed data on our market share, but we receive orders from customers throughout Japan.
