COMPANY

The challenge of creating energy started from the idea of "mottainai" (waste not want)

Our product development began with the spirit of "mottainai," or "waste not, want not," inherited from our founder.
This belief has endured through the ages and forms the very foundation of our company.
In times of resource shortages, our products played a part in supporting the lives of Japanese people, and during the subsequent period of high economic growth, they supported modern industrialization that was on a global level. Furthermore, our waste heat recovery and high-efficiency reuse rates contributed to the effective use of the Earth's limited resources.
As times change and calls for environmental conservation grow worldwide, development is progressing to create new, more efficient energy sources, and we believe that the creation of renewable, natural energy is an important mission that will continue into the future.
In order to serve as a bridge to such a future, we will continue to devote ourselves every day to our efforts and take on the challenge of energy creation.

Philosophy

Our mission is to contribute to the creation of a recycling-oriented society and the preservation of the global environment by reducing environmental impacts through our business activities, thereby creating a bright future filled with people and greenery.

Message

I joined the company while our founder was still active, and I'm one of the few people who has inherited the mottainai (meaning "waste not, want not" or "not to waste") spirit that is deeply rooted in our company.
At that time, the Japanese economy was experiencing rapid economic growth, and a variety of industrial products were enriching people's lives, leading to significant growth for our company. I remember that no matter how affluent our lives became, our founder always used the phrase "mottainai" as a catchphrase. In Japan, a country lacking in various resources, especially energy resources, we recognized the importance of these resources and invented a heat exchanger that makes effective use of waste heat energy. We obtained pioneering patents in this field and worked hard in research and development to create even more efficient products, including a dust removal device developed to prevent performance degradation due to dust that accumulates during use. We are proud of the mottainai (meaning "waste not, want not" or "not to waste") that is ingrained in all our products.
As the times change, we are shifting from energy conservation to minimize energy loss to new renewable energy sources, and our company is striving to contribute to energy creation. I value having a rich imagination and the ability to take action without being bound by existing ideas, and continuing to go through a cycle of try and error.
I believe that failure is proof that you tried, and is something to be proud of. Take on new materials, new construction methods, and new fields. I believe it is important to keep moving forward, now and forever. "Mottainai" means not stopping. It means having the courage to try new things, persevering, and learning from your failures. I would like to continue to convey the concept of "mottainai" in my own way.
