Due to the impact of the Middle East conflict, the supply of JIS standard rigid PVC pipes (PVC pipes) is unstable. However, domestically produced recycled PVC pipes (NON JIS), which use high-quality recycled materials, provide a "reliable choice" that ensures stable supply and reasonable pricing. This is an ideal circular material for the coming era, meeting economic, environmental, and supply stability simultaneously.

JECA Fair 2026 74th Electrical Construction Industry Exhibition Will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday), 2025. The "Waterproof Sleeve for Underground Exterior Walls - Pipe-in-Sleeve," which was submitted by Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., has been awarded the "Encouragement Award from the Japan Electrical Construction Association." "Innovation in Underground Beam Sleeve Construction!" We deliver a PVC sleeve with a pre-treated "waterproofing" process applied in the factory, integrated with electrical conduits (E-Flex) in a prefabricated state. At the construction site, there is no need for troublesome "waterproofing," and after installation, only joint connections are required, improving work efficiency and achieving "labor-saving." Furthermore, it provides stable waterproof performance for flood prevention and water resistance construction! It enhances the waterproof performance of buildings, balancing work efficiency and construction quality! This is all thanks to the support of developers, design firms, general contractors, subcontractors, and trading companies. We will continue to strive towards the next stage. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
