For three days from October 4, our group company Omi Sangyo exhibited for the first time at the 26th Monozukuri World [Osaka] (2023) held at INTEX Osaka. The exhibition, targeting design, development, manufacturing, production engineering, purchasing, and information system divisions of the manufacturing industry, was attended by 1,200 companies and attracted a total of 30,000 visitors over the three days. The booth was visited by 107 companies over the three-day period, and through the use of panels and videos, the company promoted its ability to provide integrated services in-house, from receiving materials to processing, welding, and finished products.

Omi Sangyo is one of the few companies in Japan that can perform integrated processing from coils to sheet metal processing, and is working to expand sales in the secondary processing field by leveraging this strength as the main theme of its mid-term management plan. We decided to participate in this year's exhibition because we were expecting visitors from all fields of users, and we were attracted by the opportunity to introduce our company and conduct business negotiations with people in charge of design and purchasing on the spot.

Many of the visitors to our booth had some kind of processing-related problem. By talking directly with them about their problems, we were able to increase Omi Sangyo's name recognition, and it was also a good opportunity for us to reaffirm that there is still room to expand sales in the market, which gave us a great response.
