New Challenge: “Rare Gases”—Notice of Initiation of Discussions on Collaboration with Various High-Pressure Gas Distributors for a Trading Business in “Helium and Rare Gas Group”

We have begun discussions with C Company, a domestic high-pressure gas distributor, on collaborating in a trading business to sell helium and rare gases from the Hangyang Group in Japan, including practical operations such as transportation and purging. Although an agreement with C Company was signed on 25 March 2026, the specific start date for the business has not yet been determined.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

We do not own a gas filling plant or the equipment required for transportation and purging, making collaboration with a domestic gas company essential to establishing a rare-gas business. C Company has experience and equipment related to rare gases. We explain that, with C Company’s cooperation, we can build the distribution channels, while C Company can expand its business partners by handling rare gases and through introductions to end users from us.
