Development of New Thermal and Cold-Insulation Construction Methods and Expansion into New Business Areas

「In the industrial products and engineering business, the company is working to build a business foundation for future growth by actively developing and selling products in new growth fields and transforming the business into a service-oriented model. In particular, it is building a track record with its environmentally responsible thermal insulation method for marine LNG fuel tanks. The company is also stepping up development of next-generation refrigeration methods and promoting initiatives to address carbon neutrality.」

「In the thermal insulation and furnace construction business, despite difficult conditions with no large-scale domestic thermal insulation projects, new initiatives produced results, including large orders for furnace construction materials for carbon-neutral applications and contract orders for refrigeration warehouse construction.」

「The company will build a track record in thermal insulation methods for marine LNG fuel tanks while developing next-generation refrigeration methods, and will promote initiatives aimed at contributing to carbon neutrality.」

「In the thermal insulation and furnace construction business, shipments of 「レセパル HS」 insulation material for aluminum melting equipment overseas declined as the deterioration in global aluminum market conditions continued. However, orders related to the transition to new energy increased, and efforts to improve margins contributed to securing profit.」

「In the thermal insulation and furnace construction business, despite a difficult environment with few large-scale projects, the company worked to expand sales of high-margin products and improve margins.」

「In the thermal insulation and furnace construction business, sales of 「レセパル HS」 insulation material for aluminum melting equipment overseas and 「Disc Roll」 high-temperature material transport rollers for stainless steel manufacturers increased significantly, while large orders for high-performance insulation also contributed to a substantial increase in sales.」

「The Thermal Insulation and Furnace Construction Division achieved substantial increases in both net sales and profit as strengthened sales efforts targeting overseas aluminum manufacturers drove a significant increase in sales of 「レセパル HS」 insulation material for aluminum melting equipment.」

「In the thermal insulation and furnace construction business, sales of 「レセパル HS」 insulation material for aluminum melting equipment rose significantly, supported by strong conditions in the overseas aluminum industry. In Japan, sales for several large-scale thermal insulation projects also increased, resulting in substantial increases in both net sales and profit.」

「In its construction business, the company will actively promote environmentally responsible operations, including developing a thermal insulation method for marine LNG fuel tanks in response to global efforts toward decarbonization.」

「The company will also develop a method for removing perlite fill used for refrigeration and seek to establish a recycling system for industrial waste. In the industrial products and engineering business, it will contribute to the sustainable development of society and the economy by actively promoting environmentally responsible corporate activities, including the development of a thermal insulation method for LNG fuel tanks for ships.」
