Sanix enters the business of selling disaster prevention-related equipment

In the future, the company will start full-scale operations by expanding sales channels and product lineups, including EC (electronic commerce) sites. The business to be launched this time was chosen in the course of internal discussions because of its high relevance to the existing business, and the company has been exploring market trends by repeatedly participating in exhibitions in various regions since 2018. Sanix expanded through the sale and installation of solar power generation systems, but the business environment worsened with the revision of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) system for renewable energy. The company has been exploring a growth strategy by launching a new business while returning to its main business of termite control installation.
