Message
Though I am still young, I am fully committed to protecting the trust and craftsmanship that Suzuki Construction and its carpenters have built over the years, and to passing them on to the next generation. Staying true to our identity as a carpentry and construction company, I intend to further strengthen our businesses in concrete formwork and finish carpentry. At a time when the shortage of skilled workers is becoming increasingly serious, we will continue to focus on training young workers and technical interns in order to pass carpentry skills on to the next generation and to maintain and improve our production capacity.
At the same time, we will continue to develop renovation and real estate businesses by making use of the strengths of our core operations, responding to social needs such as the effective use of building stock and the realization of a low-carbon society.
Finally, I also hope to contribute in my own field of expertise — fire protection and disaster prevention in timber architecture. To this end, we established an in-house Technical Research Institute in 2023 and have gradually begun our activities.
If our company continues to thrive for 20 years from the start of my presidency, we will become a 100-year company. “100 years, and beyond” is our goal for the time being. We will work with sincerity, without complacency, and with all our strength so as not to betray the trust and expectations placed in us.
