Stable Supply Through Strengthened Shipping and Transportation Capacity for ASLOC Exterior Wall Panels

「To maintain continuous and stable business with each shipping company, our group is promoting measures such as recommending the use of expressways and improving loading operations at our factories. We are also asking product purchasers to shorten unloading times at the construction sites to which products are delivered and to reflect increased logistics costs in selling prices.」

「To address the 2024 logistics issue, we focused on responding to regulations on truck drivers' overtime and waiting times by implementing secondary delivery through the establishment of transportation bases, developing sea transportation routes, and sharing information with shipping companies on each process from order receipt through shipment.」

「Operations resumed on 16 May, excluding the damaged equipment, and full-scale operations, including the damaged equipment, began on 7 July. ASLOC supply capacity has returned to pre-fire levels.」

「To improve product volumes, we will first establish a structure that enables us to meet customer demand by increasing shipping capacity through the construction of a new shipping building at the Saitama Plant and by increasing the shipping capacity for factory-painted products. We also established the Delivery Management Office to facilitate orders for ASLOC. We will establish a structure capable of supplying ASLOC steadily, with strict adherence to delivery deadlines as our highest priority. In addition, we will work to improve volumes by strengthening our transportation system. To address the shortage of drivers and trucks, we will establish relay facilities for shipments to remote areas and divide transportation into segments, thereby securing vehicles.」
