TOYOKEIKI is a water meter and gas meter manufacturer, which has a significant share of them. Our company was founded in 1949 and has a long history of winning business competitions, and as a result, we have been gaining a large market share. We are now one of the most popular companies in the meter market as well as in Nagano prefecture.
In addition, we are entering new fields of business, such as the distribution of PV (Photovoltaic system) and Home Energy Management System (HEMS). At first, it looked like entering the new market was going to be difficult, but it resulted in a positive outcome to help us expand our business.
Mainly our business activities are done in Japan, but we are interested in making them more global. Furthermore, we would like to have more manufacturing bases other than Japan, so we have already formed a business tie-up with a Vietnamese company.
TOYOKEIKI’s location is like a historical district. Our company’s headquarter is in the Wada-Nishihara district, where remains of a Heian period settlement were uncovered in 1986. A series of discoveries revealed a large number of ancient relics, and the research team found a copper seal saying “Nagayoshi private seal”. Therefore, we constructed a Shinto shrine “Nagayoshi” named after the seal so that people may pray to the gods to which Fukashi shrine was dedicated. Probably you would even feel the historical atmosphere of ancient society here.
It also has a rich natural environment. About a thousand oak, white birch, and mountain ash seedlings were planted in the past, and now, they have grown to bearing trees, so we are proud of being surrounded by these many trees and plants.
We are seeking to be a “Green Company”. These days, there are many crises out there caused by environmental degradation, so we have to take good care of the environment not only in our country, but also in the world. Although it costs money to protect the environment, in order to stop global warming, take measures against global water shortage, combat deforestation and desertification, and face other problems threatening humankind, we consider it crucial to go to the expense of environmental measures. That is why we have acquired ISO 14001 certification in 2000 in order to promote environmental protection.
