Transition to an Integrated Water Treatment Company

「Through this acquisition of shares, we will further advance the “transition to an integrated water-treatment company” set out in our medium-term management plan, expand the service areas of our water-related business, and maximize synergies across our group, thereby working toward sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value.」

「In the water-related business, we are working to make the upstream and downstream processes for “groundwater intake for use in water supply” and “water-treatment processes using chemical-free treatment,” which have historically been within our group's business domain, new business areas. We are also expanding the water-treatment plant operation and maintenance and other business areas that our group can propose and undertake. In addition, we are considering entering water-related fields outside water supply, such as sewage and wastewater treatment, with the aim of transforming into a comprehensive water-treatment company, expanding the scale of our business and strengthening our earnings capacity.」
