He stepped down as President in 2019 and became Representative Director, Chairman and CEO in June 2020, but returned to the presidency in April 2022 as Representative Director, Chairman, President and CEO.

In April 2015 the company adopted a holding company structure, dividing its maintenance network among regional operating subsidiaries for Hokkaido, Tohoku, Joto, Josai, Kansai, Chugoku-Shikoku and Kyushu. In 2017 it listed its shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market, and thereafter it kept acquiring regional elevator maintenance companies and merging them into each regional subsidiary, building a nationwide maintenance network. Consolidated net sales grew from ¥10.5 billion in the fiscal year ended March 2015 to ¥57.6 billion in the FY ended March 2026, and ordinary income from ¥0.6 billion to ¥11.0 billion.
