COMPANY OVERVIEW

In the early twentieth century, Junpei Hayashida Incorporated began its business as a lumber wholesaler, but with the markets changing, it diverged its business to various forms. Following being publicly incorporated, the company`s divergences included real estate and the trading of various materials used for the construction of homes primarily leased to Toyota employees in the United States of America. J. Hayashida USA Inc. was established in the 1963s and this marked the company’s first initiative in further establishing its overseas business affairs, particularly in the states of Kentucky and West Virgina. Within the next two years, Hayashida International Inc. was created and Pegasus Investment Inc. was formed. The uniqueness of the Hayashida Group is within the management leading both an inclusive environment and the "Change for the Best" principle where operations continue to be adapted to fit in with changing demands.

INTRODUCTION

Hayashida Group began in 1931 when its founder, Junpei Hayashida, established Hayashida Junpei Shouten. In 1951, the company was reorganized as a stockholding corporation that became the core of Hayashida Group, and J. Hayashida Inc. was born. Hayashida Lumber Inc. was founded in the same year, and contributed through its lumber work to Japan`s period of high-level growth. Later, in late 60th to 70th, Hayashida group advanced into the warehouse rental industry, and in 1972 a real estate management company, Hankai Corporation, fulfilled the need in managing Hayashida Group’s real estate. In 1988, as a first step towards business development in America, the company established J. Hayashida USA Inc. overseas, where it expanded its foreign operations   Afterwards, the company established Hayashida International Inc. in Kentucky in 1990, and Pegasus Investment Inc. in West Virginia in 1999. Making the most of the practical knowledge gained through its residential leasing operations in the US, the company started a housing import department in 1998. At present, Hayashida Group is expanding on six departments: Lumber, Building Materials, Housing, Travel, Overseas, and Warehouse Leasing & Insurance Departments.

CORPORATE CULTURE

Advancing together with our customers is our primary goal. In order to do this, our managers play the role of directors, guiding our company staff members as they actively create our work environment. The staff members, in turn, must understand the intentions of the managers. We strive to create a corporate culture that promotes the reliable performance of job duties. In addition to the usual workday routines, the Hayashida Group is also involved in on-going projects. In these projects, both new and veteran employees play key roles, surpassing the boundaries of rank. This system revitalizes our workplace and allows us to provide service that impresses our customers. Our goal of impressing our customers and advancing together with them fosters our corporate culture. COMPANY SLOGAN “CHANGE for the Best” is Hayashida Group’s business principle and the slogan expressing our attitude towards our work.

  • C(Creativity) This refers to our use of creativity in our work.
  • H(Harmony) Harmony and cooperation: this refers to our company being united and progressing as one.
  • A(Aggression) This expresses a spirit of action. No matter what happens, our company will deal with it constructively, looking forward.
  • N(Never-Ending) Without an end: this means that we will not set limits on ourselves.
  • G(Gain) This refers to forward advancement. In our desire to improve, we hope to advance more today than yesterday, and more tomorrow than today.
  • E(Effort) There can be no good results without effort. It’s important to work industriously.

Together these six words become “CHANGE”. The company as a whole is living - it must grow and change every day. The goal of this change is to become the best. Hayashida Group is by no means large-scale, but its wood selling, warehouse rental business, expansion into the international market, and other corporate activities have drawn attention from the world, as well as business and financial institutions. This is a result of our company gradually changing how we do business, while striving for the best.
