Enhancing Proposal Capabilities for Pipe Products through New Products and Deterioration Diagnosis Services

「前週末１８日引け後、経済産業省から同社の「流量制御技術および低発塵（じん）化技術を生かした半導体製造装置向け小型精密バルブの開発・生産・販売」が採択され補助金が交付されると発表、材料視された。」

「Eligible project: Development, production and sale of small precision valves for semiconductor manufacturing equipment using flow-control and low-particle-generation technologies」

「The company newly added acid-resistant specifications for its 700 mm, 800 mm and 900 mm large-diameter butterfly valves. It is also focusing on developing valves for electronic-industry applications, where market expansion is expected.」

「As part of these initiatives, we added acid-resistant specifications for large-diameter butterfly valves of 700 mm, 800 mm and 900 mm to our lineup.」

「The company has been considering PFAS alternative materials for valves used in ultrapure-water production lines. Beginning in spring 2025, it will start demonstration testing aimed at commercializing valves using PFAS alternative materials. For precision valves used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the company has continued to examine proprietary design methods and manufacturing technologies for suppressing particle generation from valves in response to semiconductor miniaturization, and several patents have been registered.」

「In this segment, the company developed and launched large butterfly valves, pinch valves, and pneumatic and electric resin actuators, focusing on expanding its product lineup aimed at becoming No. 1 in corrosion resistance and No. 1 in ease of use. For precision valves used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, it further pursued proprietary design methods and manufacturing technologies to suppress particle generation from valves in response to advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, strengthened its product lineup and contributed to sales.」

It expanded its product lineup, contributing to sales.」

「In foamed materials, including construction materials, the company secured new business with major contractors by leveraging the ease of installation of its in-situ foamed insulation products and the advantages of its spray-application machinery. Sales also increased for AGSR®, a solidifying material used in tunnel excavation, as sales grew for high-value-added products for difficult construction projects requiring high solidification strength and water cut-off performance.」

「In this segment, the company expanded its customer-oriented product lineup, including new resin actuators, improved performance of existing valves, and useful products aimed at becoming No. 1 in corrosion resistance and No. 1 in ease of use, contributing to sales.」

「Sales of the company's core resin piping materials increased significantly in Japan. As corporate capital investment remained firm, stronger customer-oriented sales activities and the introduction of new products, particularly valve products, supported steady sales of core valve products and orders for contract work, resulting in a substantial increase in revenue.」

「In this segment, the company expanded its product lineup of resin actuators, high-pressure air valves combining resin and metal, and customer-oriented products branded as “useful products,” aimed at becoming No. 1 in corrosion resistance and No. 1 in ease of use.」

「The company developed its proprietary resin actuator electric vAlueV (Value V) series, expanding its range of automatic valves. It also launched a new large-diameter butterfly valve (700 mm), air valves and repair valves for high-pressure piping used in agricultural and water-related applications, and chemical pipes with excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, it launched deterioration-diagnosis services aimed at capturing future demand for pipe renewal, which have been well received.」
