The inside story of the UNISOL Group’s origins
Could this be our best possible partner?
A chance meeting that led us to believe that, together, we could form an outstanding enterprise with a bright future
In 2017, Maruka Corporation moved its head office to a new location that turned out to be only around 300m away from the offices of Furusato Industries, Ltd., which was a stroke of luck. The proximity resulted in the two companies’ respective management teams getting to know each other. Both companies shared a sense of unease that they might not be able to respond effectively on their own to the increasingly diverse problems affecting society, so having recognized that they shared the same values, they became convinced that “If we work together, we would be the best possible partners for one another.” This is what led to the merger in October 2021, which saw the birth of Maruka Furusato Corporation, a technology-focused trading company that combined the strengths of the two companies.
UNIque + SOLutions—UNISOL’s declaration of commitment
Creating a better future through unique solutions
UNISOL is the brand that has been born from the integration of the shared values of Maruka Corporation and Furusato Industries, Ltd.
The name “UNISOL” (UNIque + SOLutions) embodies our commitment to delivering unique solutions that represent the optimal ways of solving customers’ diverse and complex problems by combining the knowledge and technical capabilities of the two companies. The merger also led to the formulation of our new Group Slogan “Unlocking ‘Aha!’ moments, one after another.” and our Group Vision “Towards a world overflowing with ‘I want to make this happen!’” along with our Mission, Values and Standards. With “UNISOL” as our watchword, we will continue to provide customers with “One ‘Aha!’ moment after another,” and help to build a future in which people can realize their hopes and dreams, “Making this happen.”
The secret to UNISOL Group’s solutions
Unprecedented, Unrivalled, Unique.
How is UNISOL able to create its unique solutions?
Since its founding, the UNISOL Group has continued to provide customers with solutions that surprise and impress them, delivering results that exceed their expectations. For example, one production site was able to reduce program execution time through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Besides enhancing operational efficiency, this solution also overcame the problem of labor shortages that had been affecting this company. For another site, UNISOL’s proposal of a revolutionary new device enabled the company to simultaneously make bridges more resistant to deterioration and also make them more visually attractive.
The secret that makes this possible is more than just UNISOL’s wealth of knowhow and high-level technological expertise, and the ability to solve problems that has been honed by repeatedly challenging ourselves; it is also a reflection of UNISOL’s mission: “Pioneering the present with inspiring solutions, and partnering for your journey beyond.”
