Branch strategy in Japan
Kanamoto’s fundamental branch strategy is to develop bases by emphasizing demand-based needs, including large-scale projects in various regions, while positioning branch development in the Tokyo metropolitan area, where both public and private sector demand is concentrated, and in other major urban centers where there remains room for growth, at the center of its expansion strategy. Kanamoto will further build its enhanced branch network by continuing to develop branches whose future effectiveness can be ascertained and pursuing a strategy of friendly business alliances and M&A with leading regional firms.
Overseas branch formation
Kanamoto has opened offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and has steadily established bases of operations in other countries while responding to large-scale projects focused mainly on infrastructure
construction, such as expressways, subways, and ports, being developed in each country.
In 2015 we established overseas affiliates in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, to accelerate Kanamoto’s overseas activities. In addition, new companies we established in Shanghai and Malaysia began sales activities in 2017 and 2018, respectively, aimed at serving the substantial construction equipment rental demand in both countries.
This effort to expand our overseas operations centered on the giant market
in China and the remarkably developing ASEAN countries is one of the Kanamoto Group’s most important measures. In each country, we anticipate demand for specialized equipment for engineering works such as ground improvement and the shield tunneling method, and for equipment for high-level work, sectors in which the Kanamoto Group possesses unique expertise. Kanamoto will continue to lay a solid foundation for accurately addressing these large-scale needs through its business operations and pushing into overseas markets in the future.
