Early overseas expansion has resulted in a wealth of knowledge on the individual circumstances of foreign countries.

We advanced into Singapore earlier than most other Japanese companies, thus enabling us to understand and comply with their different cultures, legal systems, environmental regulations, licensing systems and other complicated local business practices quite quickly, which has also enabled us to successfully operate our businesses there. We currently have 11 overseas bases in South East Asian countries, which are involved in the processing of recycled raw materials in accordance with all local laws and regulations and the retailing of our products. We can therefore provide customers intending to start overseas operations with support from the local procurement of materials through to the recovery of recycled raw materials. We can also be of benefit to any customers as a consultant with respect to overseas business operations.

Inventory control in our own warehouses

We have our own overseas based warehouses. We control our inventory to ensure that we can deliver products to customers on a just-in-time basis in thereby responding to any changes in the export/import situation. With five bases in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand (two) and the Philippines, we have the type of system in place that is capable of delivering appropriate goods to South East Asian countries in the timeliest manner.

Our distribution function aims to satisfy your needs

Full utilization of our locally created personal networks and special capabilities enable us to act as a total logistics coordinator (engaging in procurements, warehousing, transportation and carry-ins) in accordance to the respective needs of local customers. We can transport metal products and other materials, various facilities and small amounts of hazardous materials. Our performance is backed up by our wide range of experience and ensures both convenience and reduced costs for our customers.

Domestic business model directly applicable to overseas business

We promote our business operations in other countries using the same raw material recycling system, which covers purchases, sales, and then recovery, as in Japan. We have suppliers and partners in the countries in which we do business, which supports our recycling-based business. This, we believe, is merely because of our overseas business activities having commenced earlier than most others.
