Promotion of the use of domestic timber
Promote the use of domestic timber with special MDF that offers excellent water resistance
Social issues and needs
Japan is one of the world's most forested countries with about two-thirds of the land covered in forest. Therefore, domestic timber should be more actively used in order to foster healthy forests that fulfill various needs, such as absorbing CO2 and prevention of landslides. The Japanese government is aiming to increase wood self-sufficiency to 50% by 2025.

Development of labor saving type products and techniques
Contributing to the anti-seismic ceiling by developing the labor-saving construction technique
Social issues and needs
A shortage of workers has become an aggravated problem in the construction industry. On the other hand, while the Building Standards Act revised after the Great East Japan Earthquake requires higher aseismic performance of the ceilings of large public buildings, there was an issue that it requires much time and labor in making existing ceiling anti-seismic.
