【4125】SANWAYUKA INDUSTRY CORPORATION developed from its early shift into the environmental business into its current business centered on reuse and recycling, and has accelerated its efforts to secure human resources and pursue its growth strategy since its listing. Going forward, it will expand its circular model by supplying high-purity solvents to the semiconductor, battery and electronic components sectors and recycling waste liquids.
SANWAYUKA INDUSTRY CORPORATION began as a company handling oil-based products, but shifted into industrial waste recycling in anticipation of tighter environmental regulations. In 1993, it built a new research facility and entered the liquid waste recycling business. Against a backdrop of long-term technological accumulation and changing market conditions, the company introduced precious-metal recovery and waste-acid separation equipment in the 2000s. In fiscal 2017, it achieved the highest volume in Japan of recycling organic solvent waste liquids, and in 2021 it listed on the TSE JASDAQ Standard market and the Nagoya Stock Exchange Second Section.
## Business Overview and Characteristics: SANWAYUKA INDUSTRY CORPORATION operates its reuse and recycling businesses across 3 segments: reuse, recycling and chemicals. Its proprietary distillation technology regenerates waste solvents, helping reduce environmental impact. Targeting primarily large companies, it has established its circular services as a vertical circular model that integrates supply and collection. The company has obtained numerous patents and is also distinguished by its strong emphasis on research and development.
## Growth Strategy and Key Points: In semiconductors, the company combines the supply of high-purity solvents with the recycling of waste liquids, and it is developing a system for circulating the supply of raw materials and collection of waste liquids in the battery and electronic components sectors as well. It has established a new company in Kyushu and is currently developing its operating infrastructure, with plans to expand processing at its Kitakyushu site in the future. Through its engineering business, the company plans to provide one-stop services covering a range of processes, including the dismantling of chemical complexes.
## Key Points for Investors: In response to the challenge of securing a stable domestic supply of raw materials even amid yen depreciation, the company intends to build a long-term business foundation by strengthening circular supply through the regeneration of raw materials from waste. The company's role is expected to expand alongside growth in the semiconductor, battery and electronic components sectors.
