「The first is the development of businesses focused on solving customer issues, with customer needs given top priority. To become an indispensable presence for customers, the Group works closely with them and promotes business activities that accurately identify their needs. By strengthening the functions of the steel products supply chain and expanding its domestic steel sales network, the Group will continue to meet the needs of all customers.」

「Through this conversion into a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company will be able to establish a steel sales channel covering the entire Tohoku region by acquiring business rights in southern Tohoku and integrating them with the sales network in northern Tohoku held by the Company’s Tohoku Branch.」

「New business with Tier 1 parts manufacturers that are pursuing transformation has been increasing rapidly in connection with the shift to EVs, as we have earned their trust through the functions we provide. We will reliably capture business opportunities exceeding the transactions that are likely to decline in the future.」

With the Group's stated purpose, “Contributing to the sustainable growth of local communities and industries through a trusted supply chain,” in mind, we have pressed ahead as one group, working to enhance higher-value-added services.」

「All subsidiaries in which investment was strengthened over these 3 years successfully reached mass-production operations. The group’s strength in sincerely addressing customers’ problems has been complemented by high-quality processing capabilities, bringing it one step closer to its PURPOSE (social raison d’être), “Contributing through a trusted supply chain.”」

「Although the newly launched businesses are operating in an unstable environment, they are steadily progressing toward stable operations.」

「Regarding the expansion of processing locations, ㈱カノークス鋼管東海, established in August 2019 as the first steel-pipe processing plant in the Tokai region, entered mass-production operations in May 2020. At ㈱カノークス鋼管北上, the company established a new processing system combining state-of-the-art three-dimensional laser processing equipment with an automated transport system, enabling unmanned operations, and began full-scale mass production in February 2021.」

As part of this effort, 株式会社カノークス鋼管東海, the expansion of processing locations, began operations in May 2020.
