All over the world, we are pursuing with the construction machinery lifecycle strategy with the goal of increasing the profitability of construction machinery throughout its value chains, which encompass the manufacturing and sale of construction machinery and mining machinery, the provision of parts and services, financing, rental, sale of used construction machinery and other aspects of the industry.
We have supported the sales activities of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. around the world for many years, including sales and finance joint ventures in Indonesia, and have formed a capital partnership. As business partners, we have worked steadily to build a track record that includes logistics and finance business operations in North America—a focus market in which we have begun to operate.
Going forward, we will expand globally into more business domains through the expansion of our value chains. This also involves cooperation with groups of businesses, such as businesses selling small- and mid-sized construction machinery and power generators in North America on a house-brand basis, and businesses financing and renting construction machinery and temporary materials in Japan via ITOCHU TC CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY.

In addition to the sale of conventional industrial machinery, such as machine tools, food machinery, and textile machinery, we also sell components and equipment, manufacturing systems and various automation systems for such advanced technology fields as secondary batteries, semiconductors and industrial films.

In initiatives to achieve the SDGs, we also support the adoption of technologies and facilities for purposes such as decarbonization, green energy, recycling and disaster prevention.

In products for industrial applications, we also widely promote sales of electronic devices related to 5G, the IoT, AI and DX.

We undertake trading business in various fields in cooperation with our two domestic operating companies, ITOCHU MACHINE-TECHNOS CORPORATION and ITOCHU SysTech Corporation.
