A message from our President
Thank you for visiting our website.
As its President and Representative Director, I would like to thank you for considering an investment in Maruka Furusato Corporation.
Our business activity is centered around the theme of unique solutions. The primary Machinery & Tools and Construction Products segments of our business have a long history and have established a certain position for themselves. At the same time, we also consider unique ideas unlike any others on the market on a daily basis, continue to take on new challenges, and aim to suggest proposals that will exceed our customers’ every expectation. Toward these aims, we have a proactive investment strategy. Our investments include welcoming excellent companies to our Group and investments in businesses that present promising business alliance possibilities.
We also prioritize shareholder returns, adopting a progressive dividend policy informed by our DOE ratio as our basic policy, with additional special and other dividends paid out in line with profits and our financial situation. We are updating our shareholder benefits program to provide additional benefits based on holding shares continuously for a certain period.
In addition to the above, we are also committed to sustainable initiatives, such as satoyama conservation work, and will continue in our aim to be a company both appreciated and relied upon by wider society.
I hope that you will take our approach and efforts into account as you consider an investment in Maruka Furusato Corporation.

Growth strategy
The UNISOL Group has set the creation of a sustainable society as its management objective, and manages its business with the Group philosophy in mind, including our vision of “Towards a world overflowing with ‘I want to make this happen!’” In line with this, we have considered our aspirations for the company ten years from now and created a roadmap to get there. To realize this roadmap, we have formulated the UNISOL Medium-Term Management Plan, which runs through 2026.
The theme of the UNISOL Medium-Term Management Plan is “Change and challenge toward the next stage,” and it aims to enhance our operational foundation in preparation for the next phase in our development. In the first stage of this Medium-Term Management Plan, comprising the first two years of its operation, we worked to establish this foundation through collaboration and integration. In the second stage, spanning a three-year period from 2024, we have entered the phase in which we will accelerate growth through change and co-creation.
With its first stage now complete, we feel that the UNISOL Medium-Term Management Plan is essentially progressing as expected.
