SANNET

What SANNET does

SANNET (株式会社サンネット) is a privately held Japanese professional services firm founded in May 1994 (Heisei 6) and headquartered in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. The company operates two integrated service divisions: a Measurement Design division providing licensed surveying (GNSS measurement, 3D point cloud capture using UAV and laser scanners, photogrammetric surveying) and civil engineering design (roads, intersections, bridges, river structures, parks, general structures) plus investigative surveys (traffic, groundwater, biological, geological, soil); and an IT/Web Solutions division providing web content planning, homepage creation, web application development, and UI/UX-driven web and DTP print design. SANNET holds a surveying business registration from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (Registration No. (6)-23955), which is a regulatory prerequisite for providing surveying services, and maintains a licensed land and house investigator (土地家屋調査士) on staff.

The firm serves a tightly clustered client base anchored by the Kansai Electric Power Group and its subsidiaries (Kanden Service, Kanden Engineering) and regional engineering firms (NewJec, NES, Urano Design Kansai Branch), alongside Nishinomiya City Government and its Water and Sewerage Bureau. With 1-10 employees, ¥13 million in registered capital, and a single Nishinomiya office, SANNET is a small owner-operated firm with no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, or geographic expansion. Go-to-market is conducted through direct enterprise relationships, participation in public-sector tendering, and a recently renewed corporate website (san-it.net) used for top-of-funnel visibility. CEO Yoshikuni Utsunomiya (宇都宮 喜邦) serves as Representative Director, and the company has no documented public listing, external investors, or corporate structural changes.
