What is the wood resource cascade business?
In 2011, we opened our own laminated lumber factory and pre-cut factory in Yoro-cho, Gifu Prefecture, focusing on the abundant forest resources of the Tokai region as a corporate activity in the times, society, and environment. By realizing a consistent “manufacturing retail” from forestry to construction and sales in the housing business, we aim to eliminate the conventional complicated
distribution and stably supply domestic lumber at a reasonable price. At the same time, the effective use of surplus materials in the production process of structural materials leads to a reduction in the loss of wood resources. Properly circulate local forestry and use wood resources appropriately. We are promoting investment and development based on our concept of “wood resource cascade business”, and we believe that these efforts are directly linked to the SDGs.
