Chugoku Mokuzai’s sales strategy for 2012

The largest domestic lumber manufacturer, Chugoku Mokuzai Co., Ltd. (Kure City, Hiroshima prefecture), held the New Year party in Tokyo on January 20. Many people involved in timber business came a long distance in order to listen to the New Year speech by Yasuyuki Horikawa, the president of the company, who leads the Japanese timber industry. Mr. Horikawa addressed a crowd of about 260 participants including business partners and clients who filled the venue, and talked about the company’s response to last year’s earthquake, market analysis for this year, and sales strategies for products in an articulate manner, emphatically declaring the company’s determination to meet customers’ demands by quickly delivering diversified products with no product shortage again in 2012. The company has clients nationwide, and it held the New Year parties also in Nagoya (13th), Osaka (14th), and Fukuoka (24th).
