If demand for customer products expands rapidly in the short term, there is a risk that long working hours will occur, leading to deterioration of employee health. The Health and Safety Committee regularly conducts information sharing, safety patrols, and employee engagement surveys, and the administrative department checks labor conditions and provides improvement guidance. The company is also working to reduce overtime per employee through active recruitment and to reduce workload through automation and standardization.

Amid a declining working population, there is a risk that securing personnel will become difficult in the Packing Business, where the hurdles to introducing DX are high, thereby constraining business activities, in addition to the risk that personnel attrition and delays in development will affect medium- to long-term growth. In response, the company has introduced new personnel systems such as an early promotion system and a work-location consideration system, and has begun operating a systematic training plan. The company is also working to improve the retention rate by improving the work environment based on employee engagement surveys.

Among the main handled product groups, machine tools and large precision equipment have cyclical periods of expansion and contraction, and there is a risk that sales will decline significantly during contraction periods. The company aims to reduce cost of sales by grasping customers' production and shipment information in advance and building a mutual support system between business locations, while also aiming to improve profit margins through solution proposals that contribute to improving customers' production efficiency, under the medium-term vision of "From Operations to Solutions."

There is a risk that the volume of export cargo handled will fluctuate significantly due to changes in exchange rates and international conditions. To reduce dependence on exports, the company is considering initiatives for businesses not dependent on exports, such as expanding the scope of transactions with existing customers and expanding warehousing in/out operations for import cargo.

There is a risk that natural disasters exceeding expectations, such as sudden heavy rains, typhoons, and earthquakes, could damage or flood logistics facilities, resulting in the suspension of logistics services. The company periodically reviews its natural disaster response manual and displays hazard maps, while installing disaster countermeasure equipment and promptly carrying out repairs at business locations with a high risk of damage. The administrative department confirms the implementation status of disaster prevention measures through regular patrols of business locations.
