Profile

[Company strength]
Foundation piles using our twisted flat steel bars reduce construction noise and vibration both at insertion and extraction. They are widely applicable to works on soft ground and in residential areas at night, which used to be impossible with conventional methods. No curing is necessary because structures can be installed immediately after pile placement. This is expected to reduce indirect as well as direct construction costs by reducing the construction period. Removed soil and waste are not discharged, so the work becomes simple, the environment can be conserved, and recycling is also possible.


[Business description]
Our company was established in Kumamoto City in 2001. We now manufacture and sell pile foundations, safety goods, and metal ornaments made of twisted flat steel bars. Twisted flat steel bars are manufactured by spiral twisting of flat steel bars in a special manner. This basic technology is applicable to all ductile materials, including iron and steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Many of our products are used mainly for road sign poles and other public works, PV panel support structures, agricultural foundation piles, and design purposes. We will continue to seek the endless potential of these products and develop many uses for them.


[Industry]
Twisted flat steel bar, foundation pile, tent peg, and metal ornament manufacturing and sales


[Representative's message]
Our company possesses technology for twisting flat steel bars. We apply this technology to provide and propose our products to a wide range of fields. Our target fields are civil engineering, agriculture, and PV foundation piles, as well as decoration, but our sales channels are far from being extensive. We hope to meet new customers and cultivate new markets through J-GoodTech, including new uses of our products.


[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our company has a strong base among local autonomous bodies in Kumamoto Prefecture for civil engineering works, including sign poles and lighting poles. We also have an extensive track record in Hokkaido and Kyushu. We will expand our sales channels with the cooperation of business operators in other areas. We are looking for companies who can cooperate with us in the store and home decoration field as well as our usual civil engineering and agricultural fields. We will conclude tie-ups with these companies and collect information about new products and services depending on the use and materials to extend our markets.
