AMITA HOLDINGS CO.,LTD.

What AMITA HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. does

AMITA HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. is a Kyoto-headquartered holding company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market (Stock Code: 2195) that operates a circular economy platform built on two interconnected pillars: industrial waste recycling and community-based resource recovery. The company's industrial arm deploys a proprietary "blending" (調合) technique refined over 45+ years (since the group's 1977 founding) to combine multiple heterogeneous waste streams into specification-grade circular materials at claimed 100% recycling rates, operating five domestic circular resource manufacturing plants (Minamisanriku, Ibaraki, Himeji, Kitakyushu) and overseas facilities in Malaysia and Indonesia through wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures. The community arm is the MEGURU STYLE platform — comprising MEGURU BOX® drop-off boxes, MEGURU STATION® resource recovery hubs with check-in-based data collection, and MEGURU COMPLEX regional circular models — deployed in partnership with Japanese municipalities (notably Kameoka City and Minamisanriku Town) to combine household resource recovery with community activation.

AMITA generates revenue across four streams: sustainable management consulting services (strategy, ESG disclosure support, environmental certification, ICT/BPO) sold primarily through direct sales to enterprises; circular material manufacturing (hardware sales of recycled inputs); platform/data services tied to MEGURU STATION® deployments; and professional-services certification audits (FSC/PEFC, MSC/ASC). As of December 31, 2025, the group had approximately 259 consolidated employees and stated capital of ¥483,560,300, with international operations spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and South Korea. Strategic activity in 2024-2026 includes a capital and business alliance with Taiheiyo Materials (calcium aluminate for the steel industry, launched July 2026), city-wide MEGURU STATION® deployment in Kameoka (March 2025), joint venture Circular-Linx with SMFL Mirai Partners for enterprise ICT/BPO circular support (April 2024), and capital expansion in Indonesian joint venture PT Amita Tamaris Lestari to build a new manufacturing facility (August 2026). The group's competitive position rests on the proprietary blending technology, accumulated community/municipal relationships, and developing Local Data Center infrastructure that processes MEGURU STATION® check-in data into predictive analytics for regional operations.
