SEC

What SEC does

SEC Co., Ltd. (セック株式会社) is a Japanese commercial-space engineering and construction firm founded in 1967 in Kugayama, Tokyo, originally as Shibuya Sangyo Co., Ltd., and reorganized under its current name in 1991. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Okamura Corporation (a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed office furniture and equipment manufacturer) since 2009, operating within the Okamura Group under the shared philosophy 'Think of People, Create Spaces.' As of April 2026, SEC employed approximately 230 people and maintained 12 nationwide branch offices (Sapporo, Morioka, Sendai, multiple Tokyo locations, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka) plus 24/7 call centers in Sapporo and Tokyo.

SEC's core offering is an end-to-end 'total solution' covering site development, property introduction, architectural and equipment design, construction (architecture, interior, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, signage), and 24/7 maintenance, with specialization in cold-chain and refrigeration engineering originating from a series of industry-first systems developed in the 1970s–80s (heat reclaim, hot-gas defrost, air-cooled refrigeration, centralized temperature monitoring). The portfolio also includes an eco-solutions line — ZEB design (ZEB Planner since 2021), solar generation, EV charging, barrier-free toilet renovation (~3,000 completed store projects), eneFAN industrial large fans — plus a patented Data Center Security Cage using parallel sliding doors for high-density rack placement.

Revenue is generated through one-time construction and interior work contracts, professional design services, managed maintenance agreements serviced from the 24/7 call centers, and eco-solution projects, distributed through a direct enterprise field-sales motion via branch offices and a nationwide partner-company network for specialized trades. The customer base spans national retail chains (FamilyMart, Lawson, Inageya, Ikari Super), food service (Doutor Coffee, Katsumaru, Chateraise, Kaikatsu Club), financial institutions (Johoku Shinkin Bank, Aoshin Shinkin Bank, JA Osaka East, Seibu Shinkin Bank), and enterprise accounts (Trumpf, Morioka Nissan Motor, Renishaw, Okamura, AEON Next Delivery, Warabeya Nichiyoh, TORACO Konohana, pharmaceutical laboratories). SEC Retail Service Co., Ltd., a 2010 wholly-owned subsidiary, extends its reach into convenience-store operations.
