YABASHI HOLDINGS MINES MINERALS AND NEW TALENT FOR GREATER GOOD
As the population of Asia booms, so does the demand for building materials and various machinery. But while demand has encouraged aggressive production among players in the mining and construction industries, one company is making a difference.
Yabashi Holdings is marking 61 years as a highly reputable and environmentally conscious construction, metal work and limestone mining company in the local and international scenes.
For roughly half a millennium, the Yabashi family has proven to be a prominent name in Japan’s Gifu prefecture. A clan code is followed by the Yabashi descendants, leading Yabashi Holdings to unearth enviable company goals.
“Our family code is to do anything that contributes to society,” says Tatsuyoshi Yabashi, president. “Selling natural resources may bring profit, but we find that true profit comes from gathering people from different countries who share the same values as us and nurturing them.”
Having expanded to Vietnam more than 30 years ago, Yabashi Holdings continues to embark on bolder ventures under each new generation.
The company is in the process of supplementing its mining sites with its own original kilns, becoming a one-stop solution for limestone in Vietnam as it aims to add limestone mining locations beyond Japan and Vietnam. It is also open to hiring even more talents from Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea and Myanmar.
In terms of metal work, Yabashi Holdings specialises in manufacturing bespoke machinery. The company seeks to further develop this segment and is excited to provide consistent, customised solutions to companies within the food and beverage field. It is also eager to maximise these capabilities in line with its clan code.
“As life isn’t made convenient for disabled people in other countries, we want to help them by manufacturing equipment that caters to them,” Yabashi says.
Yabashi Holdings is committed to reducing its carbon emissions through reduction in the production process and reusing the gas it generates.
The company seeks local partners in Taiwan’s metal processing and limestone industries and looks forward to selling its solutions in mainland China.
