Q. What kind of company is OKADA AIYON?
A. OKADA AIYON is a machinery manufacturer specializing in demolition, forestry, and environmental machinery, with a leading market position in demolition attachments in Japan.
We provide integrated services ranging from manufacturing and sales to after-sales support. In addition to our demolition business, we also operate in the forestry and environmental machinery sectors.
Q. Where are demolition attachments used?
A. They are used for crushing, cutting, sorting, and loading operations at demolition sites for buildings and social infrastructure.
Demolition attachments are used to crush concrete, cut steel structures, and sort materials. They are also utilized in disaster recovery operations. Some of our products are used in the dismantling of large-scale facilities such as power plants and factories.
Q. Why is demolition necessary?
A. Because buildings and infrastructure eventually reach the end of their service life and must be renewed safely and efficiently.
Demolition is not merely about removing old structures. It supports urban redevelopment, infrastructure renewal, disaster recovery, and resource recycling. By dismantling structures safely and separating materials for reuse, demolition helps prepare the foundation for the next stage of society.
Q. What happens to concrete and steel after demolition?
A. Much of it is recycled and reused as valuable resources.
Materials such as concrete, steel, and wood are separated during demolition and processed for reuse or recycling. Demolition plays an important role in the circular use of resources.
Q. What is OKADA AIYON’s core business?
A. Our demolition-related business.
We develop, manufacture, and sell demolition attachments, including crushers and hydraulic breakers. Crushers are one of our flagship products in the Japanese market.
Q. What are OKADA AIYON’s strengths?
A. Product capabilities, sales and service network, and engineering expertise.
By combining these strengths, we provide solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Q. Why is “product capability” one of your strengths?
A. Because we pursue the performance, durability, and safety required in demanding demolition environments and continuously incorporate customer feedback into product improvements.
Over many years, we have developed products for a wide range of demolition applications and customer requirements.
Q. Why is your sales and service network a strength?
A. Because we provide maintenance, inspections, and replacement parts support through our nationwide sales offices and authorized service facilities.
Demolition attachments operate in demanding environments and require ongoing maintenance after purchase. We support not only product sales but also the continued operation of our customers’ equipment in the field.
Q. Why is engineering expertise a strength?
A. Because we have accumulated extensive design and development know-how based on actual operating conditions in the field.
We utilize this expertise in selecting materials and designing structures that meet the required levels of strength, durability, and work efficiency.

Q. How does OKADA AIYON contribute to sustainability?
A. Through our demolition, forestry, and environmental businesses, we support the effective use and circulation of resources.
Our demolition attachments contribute to the renewal of buildings and social infrastructure, our forestry machinery supports the utilization of forest resources, and our environmental equipment helps recycle wood waste and other materials. These businesses themselves contribute to the circular use of resources and sustainable forestry.
Q. What is the medium-term management plan “Onyx”?
A. It is our three-year medium-term management plan covering FY3/27 through FY3/29.
By improving our quality of profit, reproducibility of growth, and capital efficiency, we aim to enhance corporate value over the long term.
Q. What is the objective of the “Onyx” plan?
A. We aim to transform our business structure from one focused primarily on scale to one capable of generating stable profits and sustainable growth.

Q. Where are OKADA AIYON’s growth opportunities?
A. We believe long-term growth opportunities exist in four key areas: demolition, forestry, recycling and the circular economy, and overseas markets.
Q. Why do you see growth opportunities in the demolition market?
A. Because demand is expected to increase due to the renewal of aging buildings and social infrastructure, as well as urban redevelopment and plant renovation projects.
Our core products are demolition attachments used in these types of projects.
Q. Why do you see growth opportunities in the forestry market?
A. Because the promotion of domestic timber utilization and forestry revitalization initiatives are driving demand for mechanization and improved productivity in forestry operations.
Forestry machinery and attachments play an important role in forestry operations, including logging, processing, yarding, transportation, and forest road development. We contribute to labor savings and higher productivity through products such as timber grapples and hybrid buckets.
Q. Why do you see growth opportunities in overseas markets?
A. Because growing global infrastructure investment is expected to drive demand for construction and demolition projects, while significant market expansion opportunities remain for our business.
We are strengthening our business foundation in North America, Europe, and Asia, primarily through demolition attachments, with the aim of achieving further growth.
Q. Why do you see growth opportunities in the recycling and circular economy market?
A. Because increasing demand for the recycling of wood waste and other materials is expected to expand demand for equipment that supports resource circulation.
Through our environmental machinery business, we support the effective utilization of resources generated by demolition and forestry activities. Wood shredders and sorting equipment are examples of products that serve this purpose.
