｜Earth Group: Global strategy｜

Aiming to expand market shareand enter new markets witha slogan “Challenge & Change”
̶Keywords: “Speed & Many”̶
Since 2016, we have accelerated initiatives to expand our revenue base in Asia through increased investment into the company in Thailand, M&A in Vietnam, incorporation of a company in Malaysia, restructuring of the company in China, and M&A in the Philippines.
By deeply infusing “Earth Way” into the ﬁve local oﬃces outside of Japan, we aim to further expand ourmarket share and enter new markets.

Earth (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

strong sales network
A local manufacturer and distributor of household supplies inVietnam started operations under the new trade name in 2017.
Vietnamʼs territory extends over a long distance from north tosouth where small family businesses account for 70% of allretailers. To ensure smooth delivery in such an environment, thecompany leverages its growing sales network of 700 members
across the country. With the mainstay detergent brand Gift as afoundation, the company is working to revitalize the insecticide
market by promoting broad adoption of ARS. At Binh Duongplant in the southern part of the country, the company mainly
manufactures liquids and aerosol sprays. Earth Corporation
Vietnam is actively investing into the plant, potentially making it
a manufacturing site for ASEAN and Japan.

Among new aerosol sprays, ARS GOLD
repels both flying and crawling insects
including mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and ants while ARS PINK repels
mosquitoes and flies. The company will
strengthen sales of these sprays as coreproducts for the expansion andpenetration of ARS brand.

Gift is a household detergent series thathas been popular since the time of its
predecessor company. It still maintains alarge share in the market today. It comesin a variety of choices such as dish soaps
and toilet cleaners.

Amplifying brand presence in ASEAN

across Asia and the Middle Eastand accelerating global deployment

EARTH HOME PRODUCTS (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD.

Hub of global strategies
Earth (Thailand) Co., Ltd. was established in 1980 as the first
local office outside of Japan in Earth Group. It has built a solid
foundation in Thailand with a community-based businessmodel, broadly covering product development, manufacturing,sales, and logistics. It also develops products from “customersʼ
perspectives” based on market needs, such as the local
insecticide brand OASIS and special local Mondahmin flavors.
As more products are now manufactured internally, stablemanufacturing capability has enabled the company to play arole as a manufacturing location for Japan, ASEAN, and the
Middle East. As it strives to win the top share in the insecticide
market outside of Japan for the first time, it brings insights fromoperations in Thailand to other countries, making a leap
forward as a regional hub in Asia.

Earth Corporation Vietnam

Earth Home Products (Malaysia) Sdn.Bhd. was established in2019 as a sales trading company in Malaysia, one of theASEAN countries that maintains the highest rates of economic
growth. Like in other Southeast Asian countries, there is a strong
need for insecticides in this country because of the risk ofmosquito-borne infections due to the warm climate. As the
economy grows, consumers are becoming more aware ofhygiene and more willing to spend money on such products.
Malaysia is a promising growth market that is ready to adopt
value-added products, which are Earth Corporationʼs forte.
Currently, the company is working closely with local distributing
agencies and partners to increase brand awareness inSoutheast Asia. It is accelerating the global deployment of
products manufactured by group companies.
