Message from the President
Rasa Corporation is a specialized trading company that supplies firms in various industries with resources, metallic materials, industrial machinery, construction equipment, and other products and have continued to support their development. We offer customers innovative proposals supported by long and rich expertise, skills and technologies in specialized fields. We have been also getting customers’ reliance through providing them our extensive maintenance and service operations, and have established long-term relationships with them.
Leveraging our capabilities has enabled us to offer products that have high market share in many categories. For example, Rasa Corporation ranks first class in zircon sand in the mineral resource sector, slurry pumps in the industrial machinery sector and blast furnance slag granulation plant which uses our proprietary technology, in the environmental equipment sector.
We acquired Izumi Co., Ltd, which has a history of over 70 years as a trading company specializing in synthetic resins, oils and fats, and chemicals, as a subsidiary in 2012. In December 2014, we expanded our business domain by acquiring Asahitech Co., Ltd., a company mainly engaged in design, construction, and maintenance work for plants and related facilities in various fields, including petroleum refining and petrochemical plants. Furthermore, In February 2015, we promoted the effective utilization of real estate owned by the Rasa Corporation Group through the establishment of Rasa Real Estate Co., Ltd. Through these initiatives, in addition to our existing “Resources and Metallic Materials Business,” “Industrial and Construction Machineries Business,” and “Environmental Equipments Business,” we have added “Chemical Business,” “Corporate Real Estate Business,” and “Industrial Plants and Equipment Business,” we have established a structure to build partnerships in more diverse ways and contribute to our clients' business growth.
The Group has formulated a three-year Medium-term business plan, “Resilience” Rasa 2024 ~ Re-start to Leap Forward ~, which will conclude in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, and is working diligently to implement it.
While the Company has positioned the establishment of group governance as its most important management policy, we will steadily promote initiatives such as “pursuing synergies by solidifying collaboration within the Group,” and “solidifying the earnings base of existing businesses and capturing new business opportunities.”
Sustainability management is also an indispensable initiative for all corporations that have a wide-ranging relationship with society, and based on this recognition, the Group will further accelerate its sustainability initiatives through its business.
We sincerely welcome your kind and continued supports and patronage.
