Our advanced distribution system gives us the flexibility in our operations, which focus on the four Tokai prefectures.

General Distribution Center

As a general trading company for gardening supplies, we carry a diverse range of products - fertilizers, soil, chemical-free supplies, gardening chemicals, gardening containers, plants, seeds, bulbs, and more. Our customers are located across the nation, from the core of operations in Aichi to the Chubu, Hokuriku, Kanto, and Kansai regions. We were also one of the first to address our increasingly networked society by computerizing our ordering system. At present, we are developing a network that will encompass everything from product planning to inventory data.

Furthermore, not only do we provide individual commercial products, but we also propose new products based on a clear understanding of social trends, seasonal trends, and market trends; and we help stores reduce inventory through improved turnover while avoiding retailer stock shortages.

More efficient and more streamlined. We’re always thinking about new ways of doing distribution.

In conjunction with social demands for shorter working hours, more holidays, and better pay, we’ve been reducing labor and improving efficiency in our business activities. Meanwhile, as environmental problems grow more severe, efforts to conserve energy and resources have been major concerns. Given this situation, we are moving forward with streaming efforts in accordance with the times, and we constantly look at ways to introduce new delivery systems as we adjust our approach to distribution.

When shipping products from our factories, we take into count the delivery system, retailers’ receiving systems, and computer-based sales forecasts, using whatever delivery methods (individual units, cases, pallets, truckloads, or containers) are most suitable to the sales performance of each retailer at that time, shipping anywhere from individual items to entire container loads. Our intention is conduct smooth and efficient shipping operations, using less labor while delivering products in a timely manner that takes individual circumstances into account - time periods, facilities, technology, and so on.
