Previously, we mainly handled domestically produced plywood
composed of south-sea wood, and imported plywood producedin Malaysia and Indonesia; however, presently, responding tochanges in times, we are making a strong effort in the importand sales of oriented standard boards (OSBs), an engineeredwood alternative to plywood, produced in Canada, Germanyand Romania, melamine facing plates produced in Austria,
fiberboards such as medium density fiberboards (MDFs)
produced in New Zealand and Malaysia, laminated material suchas poplar-based laminated veneer lumber (LVL) produced inChina, lumber of needle-leaved trees produced in Canada,
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin tapes produced inTurkey, etc.

A key word is “Eco.” Regarding the approach to legal wood, we havealready obtained certification as a group from the Japan Lumber
Importers’ Association and the Japan Plywood Wholesalers
Association. However, in response to the enforcement of the Act on
Promoting the Distribution and Use of Legally Harvested Wood (theClean Wood Act) in 2017, our company obtained registration as TypeI Wood-Related Business Operator and Type II Wood-Related
Business Operator (March 2018). In addition, we acquired Chain ofCustody certification (CoC) of the Programme for the Endorsement ofForest Certification Schemes (PEFC) and the Forest StewardshipCouncil® (FSC), the two world-class forest certification schemes.
Thus, we have been leading the industry by making contributions tothe sound development of the lumber industry and the building
materials industry. Also, in the future, not limited to wooden building
materials, we will actively address the challenge of exploring markets
to find attractive products produced in the field of biomass energy
and the field of carbon fiber-based new building materials.

Since we had been managing a plywood manufacturing operationon our own for over the past 50 years, by taking advantage oflong years of experience and knowledge we had accumulated, we
have characteristically strengthened our relationship withcustomers in specialized fields for plywood and building materials,
and gained their trust and confidence. Also, in response to
growing needs for earth-conscious products such as legal wood,and forest certified wood, we focus our efforts on themaintenance and utilization of more sustainable forest resources
and the high-degree application of products, in addition tomaximizing their added value.
