Abstract

Companies under the Iida Group Holdings are often called “Power Builders.” The core technology behind the name is “pre-cut.” It reduces construction time and drastically improves framing accuracy by preparing as many materials in factories as possible.

As the domestic market is projected to slow down, we have engaged in overseas housing projects with our high quality Japanese techniques. We undertake technical developments to meet local needs for global business expansion. For instance, we developed “IDS 2x4 method” and “transportable wood processor” for Russia, and “concrete masonry unit (CB) construction method” for Indonesia.

In this article, we report blending of manufacturing and service industries, the “pre-cut” technology, ICT technology, and technical developments for our global expansion.
