[Industry]
Wood products manufacturing


[Representative's message]
The wood products industry is stagnating. Therefore, companies with strengths in realizing product development and undertaking capital investment, and companies capable of producing large lots with short delivery times are decreasing. On the contrary, the demand for wood products (using domestic Japanese timber, produced in Japan, in particular) is increasing. We would like you to know about our company by utilizing J-GoodTech, because we have a lot of things to offer, as a company that accepts challenges.


[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our company has achieved great growth in recent years. However, we consider that our name recognition is still low for each business category in which we operate. We have confidence in our products, technologies and facilities. Therefore, we think it important to let you know our company and our products by strengthening our connections with nationwide exhibitions and main clients. For this purpose, we will increase staff members capable of sales and planning, and advance further sales expansion. We also plan to make overseas expansion, and are advancing preparations for product development for overseas and expansion of sales channels.
