To Whom It May Concern:
Hello, I’m Sunao Wakao. I acceded to the president on resolution of a stockholders meeting on 27th June in 2024. I have taken over the reins from the previous president Mr.Sato and would take the responsibility of going further.
Our company was established by ten brave men fifty four years ago and we aimed to make foundation work concerning environment. In those days, they were unaware of environmental pollution issue as a whole of society and they took it for granted that there was the soot in the air and amplitude of vibration during construction.
We pride ourselves on addressing a social challenge earlier, and we developed some construction methods “TENOCOLUM”,“GANTETSUPILE”,“ATTCOLUM”and “PUREPILE” that support a lot of construction products, the Shinkansen, and freeways.
In the mid–term management plan starting in the fiscal year 2024,we address ourselves to urgent environmental issues, for example, global warming , earthquake that occur frequently, and flood damage.
We would advance in greenfield deployment and technological development and want to achieve the benefits with stakeholders.
I would like to ask for your support and cooperation for our activities.
Sincerely,
Sunao Wakao
Tenox
