Building Materials Business
Business Description
From housing to non-housing, we provide total support for creating comfortable spaces
As a high-functionality trading company that is responsive to changing needs, we are developing the business over all areas, from procurement and supply of primary processed goods to the retail field.
Comprehensive support for living environments and renovations
The Building Materials Division Headquarters procures and provides a stable supply of primary and secondary processing products such as wood processing products and industrial products and also proposes and sells housing materials and equipment. We are also focusing on ZEH (net zero energy houses) as we develop businesses to support energy conservation in housing. We also focus on the renovation business, which grows by the year, and provide business solution proposals and employee training support for mass retailers entering the renovation business.
Proposals for utilization and expansion of sales of self-consumption-based smart energy equipment
As not only major companies but small to medium-sized companies search for concrete measures for carbon neutrality, we offer optimal plans aligned with the intent of individual companies. With energy prices on the rise, we propose mechanisms that can achieve both lower electricity costs and environmental contribution, focusing not only on sales of smart energy equipment but also on package proposals that include reusable batteries (industrial storage batteries) as part of BCP measures.

Initiatives for the Building Materials Business
Supporting companies' decarbonization efforts to establish the Non-Residential Business
As part of efforts to establish the Non-Residential Business, the Smart Energy Promotion Department, a specialized organization with advanced knowledge of the carbon-neutral market, hosts seminars to provide information to sales targets on corporate carbon-neutralization efforts. While advancing collaboration with the production equipment sector, we share subsidy information and focus on key environmental items like solar power generation, helping users create energy-saving scenarios.
New development in our original ZEH: ZePlus
Energy-saving standards will be applied to all new housing construction starting in April 2025, and ZEH-level energy-saving performance is scheduled to become mandatory from 2030 onward. In this context, we are focusing on expanding sales of our original ZEH ZePlus. Additionally, more companies have been obtaining BELS, which provides third-party evaluation of energy-saving performance. In FY2024, we newly launched the ZePlus Promotion Office and are advancing the in-house BELS certification process to improve both our service capabilities and profitability.
