Machinery & Regional Development Dept./Machinery Section 1&2

We try to develop new business models based on our machinery businesses to key industries.

We are in business to offer various machines for steel producing, industrial machines, industrial robots to major Japanese key industrial companies such as Nippon Steel Group, Kobe Steel Ltd. Group, Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc., Toyota Motor Kyushu Inc. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Hitachi, Ltd.

Besides the above, we have been in business to lend large size compressors necessary for drilling wells at plants for geothermal power plants, which are considered to be one of the main clean energy sources. We take pride in our contribution to the CO2 emissions reduction through our business.

Our major business lies in machine sales, but at the same time we have plans to invest in and create promising businesses, as we, along with Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. and Sojitz Corporation, have invested in a power plant construction project in Vietnam.

Furthermore, we are promoting efforts in renewable energy fields (e.g. solar energy and wind power) to contribute to regional creation and maintenance of the global environment through the renewable energy business.

Automatic Energy Optimization System

Automatic Energy Optimization System

Sojitz Kyushu has been a sales agent of the Energy Optimization System “PN-XERO” (Maker: PAL-COSMO) which efficiently inhibit power consumption as well as peak power which determines a minimum energy charge( basic charge) in retail stores, office buildings and other facilities. It can realize reduction of basic charge while reducing power consumption from the following month of the month in which the system was installed. We are actively promoting this system as an eco-friendly product.


Energy Field
