General Energy Division Energy Division
As an LPG total integrator, LPG from the gas producing country is shipped to Japan using a tanker chartered by our company, directly imported / stored / placed in reserve, and supplied through our nationwide sales network as part of a stable and consistent supply system. Safety measures and disaster prevention systems are also in place. Our LPG sales volume for both wholesale and retail figures is the highest in the country. We are involved in the sale of related equipment such as GHP, boilers, residential facilities equipment, household gas equipment and lifestyle-related products. At the same time, we are involved in new energy systems such as DME as well as sales of home generators, cogeneration, household fuel cells and LNG. We are also involved in developing diverse household items using gas canisters, such as hose-less tabletop gas cookers "CASSETTE-FEU", and electrical cooking products.
 
Industrial Gas / Welding Materials Division Industrial Gases & Welding Division
We are involved in a wide range of high pressure gases, including liquid hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide gas, including mixed / semiconducting / medical gases. We provide total solutions for gas manufacturing / refining / filling / transportation equipment, and gas storage / supply / consumption / application / elimination / recycling equipment and extremely low-temperature equipment. We were the first in the world to successfully establish technology for supplying high-concentrated ozone that cannot be produced from existing ozone generators. We have a strong record in disaster prevention equipment, desulfurization, denitration / decarburization equipment plants, centered principally on use of gas technology in the power industry. We handle welding and fusion gases, welding materials, and welding / fusing equipment. We also contribute to increased industry productivity through FA-related robot systems, aiming at reducing energy and human labor, and laser or plasma processing machinery.
 
Electrical Machinery Division Electronics & Machinery Division
We support the equipment infrastructure for an advanced technology-based IT society through processing and production equipment for the manufacture of laminar ceramics electrical components, optical pickup or camera module assembly / testing devices, as well as assembly / testing / trial operation devices or pre/post-processing devices needed in semiconductor manufacturing. As a system integrator, we use our unique know-how, expert professional knowledge and engineering capabilities to support manufacturing in various frontline environments, whether for odor-removing or environment-related devices, process machines for foods and medical manufacturing, FA-related equipment such as powder molding devices, welding equipment, sheet metal machinery, and machine tools supporting manufacturing for automobiles, home appliances and construction.
 
Materials Division Materials Division
We have established our position as a manufacturer in niche markets, emphasizing precision tools for the environment / medicine, particularly in the electronics field. For functional plastics, sales are expanding for PET plastics and functional films / sheets are in development. For resources and new materials, progressive investments are being made in resources development overseas, particularly Australia. In the field of products we are gaining attention for electronics and functional ceramics-related processed goods. In the field of metals, we are selling processed goods using overseas production sites with materials such as special alloy steel, non-ferrous metals, new metals and high alloys. For electronic materials, we are expanding our film slit operations and metal precision slit operations in China.
 
Natural Production Division Agri-Bio & Foods Division
In the field of food products, in addition to frozen foods processed overseas such as frozen vegetables, fruits, prepared foods, meat-based products and marine-processed products, we also handle all kinds of food products, including canned, agricultural stewed and processed products. In the health industry field, we are involved in developing and selling health supplement foods such as our "Suppon Soup" and "Suporiki" using soft-shelled turtles from Kumamoto, and our brown rice dark vinegar from Kagoshima, "Genmai Kurozu". In the field of livestock, our pig-raising business has a top share in Japan, and in addition to the sale of pig-raising equipment and materials, in the agricultural field we are developing our sales operations for gardening equipment, agricultural machinery / equipment, farm storage equipment, farming houses and equipment for transporting flowers and ornamental plants.
