Company information
We are primarily engaged in two businesses: "purchase and sale of used machinery" and "development of small hydropower generation systems." During the time of the Lehman Shock and the Great East Japan Earthquake, many manufacturing companies went bankrupt, resulting in an overflow of machinery in the market. At that time, we focused on those machines, purchased many of them, and as the Japanese manufacturing industry began to recover, we sold them and grew. However, looking at the latest machinery, we see advancements in technologies such as IoT, leading to energy-saving and high-efficiency dedicated machines tailored to each factory. It is expected that incorporating AI technology will make it increasingly difficult to sell such machines in the used market. While we are also working to address these issues, we have been undertaking the development of small hydropower generation systems utilizing factory water since 2018 as a new challenge. With the advancement of cutting-edge technology, stable power supply will become increasingly important, and electricity supply in developing countries remains unstable even now. Although the recoverable power may not be substantial, we are still focusing on development, believing that it could cover the basic power needs of solar and wind energy or provide some support for the electricity within factories.
