Panasonic Homes partnered with Mike Greer Commercial (MGC), one of New Zealand’s largest privately owned residential building companies, and completed a prototype home in Waikato, New Zealand.

“While most homes in New Zealand take seven months to build, our technology reduces construction time and enabled us to complete the prototype house in three months and it will also lead to skill transfer to construction personnel.” Tanaka said.

“Through the introduction of housing technology cultivated in earthquake-prone Japan, we look forward to delivering solutions to the country’s building sector and sharing our expertise to contribute to the further development of construction industry in New Zealand,” said Tanaka.

Toyo Business Engineering (Thailand) Co. (B-EN-G Thailand) was established in March 2003 to meet the needs of the business community across the country. Today, 80 percent of B-ENG Thailand’s clients are active in the Thai manufacturing sector and the company is building on its reputation for delivering quality service and support.

Welding Division was in operation for the manufacturing of welding consumables, welding equipment and machinery, etc.

Projects and Constructions Division, known as PCC (Projects, Construction and Contracts Division), was in operation for the installation of turn key projects, engineering, procurement and construction, and heavy fabrication.

Engineering Division (Tools Division) was in operation for the manufacturing of special purpose machine tools and tooling systems.

Automotive Division was initiated in 1996 in commemoration of the centenary of the automotive industry, marking Henry Ford’s completion of his first experimental car. That same year, in line production obtained an Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum license and converted the production facilities into assembling 10,000 units enhancing its shop floor from 67,000 square feet to 110,000 square feet for additional production and testing space. Due to political reasons, the license was withdrawn on the recommendation of the state government. This stalled operations and research, and development efforts toward automatic dynamic car parking stations were initiated. Upon successful research, a prototype was made and tests executed with satisfactory results; this led to the creation of the Infrastructure Development Division to further establish automatic dynamic car parking stations.

During the restructuring of operations, the Marketing and Trading Division was created.

Equipment for the project had to be transported almost 800km to the site. The power plant, which has commenced full commercial operation last year, is one of the most efficient and largest of its kind in the country. This year, JEL is focused on delivering more turnkey projects across Southeast Asia.

“Our vision is to be the leading engineering and construction service provider in Asia,” says Akamatsu. “We aim to become the partner of choice in the region by earning the trust of our clients and strengthening our long-term working relationships.”

“Southeast Asia is a huge market and we want to capitalize on the region’s economic growth. Southeast Asia will remain our area of focus,” says Akamatsu.

“The volume of business we do in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam is increasing and we are penetrating countries such as Myanmar. In addition, we are diversifying to markets including the Philippines, Bangladesh, the Middle East and countries in Africa such as Mozambique.”

With an extensive global network, JEL works closely with its customers including Japanese companies in global markets.

“We are able to maximize our resources by strengthening the construction divisions of our subsidiaries,” says Akamatsu. “We intend to secure larger power plant projects in the region while focusing on renewable energy solutions, developing non-energy projects and strengthening our maintenance services.”

JEL continues to enhance its operational efficiency and project management capabilities while expanding its global footprint.

“We aspire to improve our existing business through technology and innovation,” says Akamatsu. “In addition to upholding the highest safety standards, we will strive to be lean, flexible and responsive to changes in the market.”

While renewing its corporate brand image this year, the company will retain its core values of diligence, continuous learning, shared ownership, customer satisfaction and respect.

“The keyword for us is ‘change’,” concludes Akamatsu. “In order to remain fresh and competitive in a rapidly changing industry, we are embracing changes and will integrate our resources to ensure the future growth of the company.”

“Last year we participated in numerous corporate social responsibility initiatives, including donating blood to the Vietnam Red Cross and providing uniforms and stationery to schools educating children from low-income households,” said Mitsumoto. “These activities bring our company closer together and enable us to give back to the communities in which we work.’’

Over the course of the next five years, Mitsumoto plans to increase JHE’s business. Vietnam’s real estate and construction industries show no sign of slowing down and the company also sees opportunities in neighboring Southeast Asian markets.

“We focus on building trust and developing relationships with our customers and have collaborated with leading private developers in Vietnam such as Nam Long (Flora Mizuki Park), NovaLand (Sunrise City View), Gamuda Land (Celadon City) and Tien Phat (Ascent Lakeside) in addition to working on public sector projects. Last year we were awarded the prestigious High Quality Construction prize from the Ministry of Construction,” said Mitsumoto.

“We have achieved success by delivering the best quality service that is also safe and on time. Rather than aiming to become the number one mechanical, electrical and plumbing services company in Vietnam, we intend to become the best company we can be by working closely with our trusted clients and continuing to contribute to the development of Vietnam,” Mitsumoto concluded.

I am a member in the Egypt-Japan Business Council (JEBC) and we regularly discuss investments from Japan as we work closely with Japanese companies and JICA.

Egypt and Japan share a strong bilateral relationship. We are working to increase investments in Egypt and we have established cooperation between the Arab Contractors Company and Hitachi of Japan at one of the desalination plants. We have a comprehensive knowledge of the Japanese market as well as Japanese products which are available in Egypt. We also had a previous partnership with a Japanese company during the construction of the El Salam Bridge over the Suez Canal. There is a history of Egyptian-Japanese cooperation in various sectors, past and present, and we will increase our collaboration sin the future.

What is your vision for the future?

We aim to be one of the leading countries regarding foreign investment and we are receiving many offers from foreign companies and investors.

There are great business opportunities in the ‘Suez Canal Development Axis’ and we hope Japan will be one of the countries to play an important role by investing in these projects in addition to the Chinese and Russian investors. We are seeing utilities and infrastructure demand create investment and business opportunities and we are discussing these issues within the Egypt-Japan Business Council.

What message would you like to share with our readers in Japan and around the world?

Egypt is a must-see country for visitors to the region. We invite our Japanese friends to visit the Egyptian coasts, beaches and historical sites. We look forward to sharing our country’s continued development.

Economically, we are establishing industrial areas at the Suez Canal Development Axis to aggregate and re-export products and services including cars, manufactured goods, food and industrial products. Egypt is in a unique strategic location and with the Suez Canal, we will continue to be a world-class center for trade and industry.
