Japan Environment Clear

What Japan Environment Clear does

Japan Environment Clear (日本環境クリアー株式会社) is a privately held Japanese facility management company founded in 1976 and headquartered in Omiya, Saitama City. It operates three integrated service divisions: Building Maintenance (cleaning, facility management, sanitation management, property management, and PFI/designated administrator contracts for public facilities), Electrical Equipment Safety (high-voltage receiving equipment inspection, emergency response, testing, and renovation), and Other Services (security/guard services, labor dispatch/staffing, and landscape management). The company serves public-sector clients via PFI and designated administrator mandates, commercial real estate owners, healthcare facilities under Medical Service Act-compliant cleaning certifications, hospitality operators, and high-voltage electrical equipment owners requiring statutory safety management.

The company employs 853 personnel (120 full-time and 733 part-time workers as of July 2022) and operates 10 branch offices across the Kanto region (Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Ibaraki). It holds extensive regulatory credentials — ISO9001 and ISO14001 management systems, Medical-Related Service Mark certification, sewerage and clean tank maintenance operator registrations, building environmental health management registration, security business certification, labor dispatch license, and Privacy Mark — which collectively qualify it for public procurement and specialized vertical contracts. Historic capital and technical partnerships with Suiyo Co. (2005) and Veolia Water Japan (2007) supported a now-divested water/sewerage business that was transferred to Ecolog Force Co., Ltd. in 2022.

Revenue is generated entirely through B2B managed-services contracts (cleaning, security, electrical safety, staffing, PFI/designated administrator mandates); pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per engagement based on scope and facility type. Marketing is limited to a corporate website and recruitment listings on MyNavi and JobGear, with customer acquisition driven by direct field sales, on-site account management, and competitive public procurement processes. The company is independent and family/management-controlled, with registered capital of ¥70 million and leadership transitioned most recently to Representative Director Misawa Shinya in Reiwa 8 (2026).
