日本製麻株式会社 and SEIMAホールディングス株式会社 have decided to begin handling drones. Going forward, they plan to expand into domestic and overseas markets across a broad range of fields, including agriculture, disaster prevention and national security, and are considering business alliances and technical cooperation with several strong partners.
The move reflects the worldwide expansion of unmanned aircraft applications. Drones are expected to be used for a wide range of purposes, including reducing labor requirements and improving productivity in agriculture, responding to disasters, inspecting infrastructure, logistics, and security and surveillance. With both the Japanese and overseas markets in view, the companies aim to create synergies with their existing businesses.
The new initiative will cover domestic and overseas markets without limiting the regions or applications. The companies are currently working to establish partnerships and cooperative arrangements with drone manufacturers and related companies in Japan and overseas, and are expected to propose products and services suited to specific applications through collaboration with multiple partners.
Going forward, they aim to expand their business portfolio and strengthen their earnings base by developing new growth areas in addition to achieving stable growth. With a focus on agriculture and food, they seek to create opportunities to reduce labor requirements and improve productivity through drone technology, and have indicated a policy of expanding overseas operations while complying with laws and export controls.
