Message from the CEO

代表挨拶 田中 信昭

Turning the impossible into the possible,
providing unique value.

If I had to sum up GEOX's business in one word, it would be "creation." We think of something that no one else has, we make it, and we sell it. Based on that, we have provided the world with unique products with high added value.

After graduating from university, I got a job at an overseas oil field exploration company. I was doing oil and gas deposit exploration in Asian countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and what I learned there was to "do anything myself." The field was the sea, the desert, the jungle, and sometimes even war zones. Once I was on the field, the only person I could rely on was myself. If I didn't solve various problems as soon as possible, including the breakdown of the exploration equipment, the drilling schedule would be delayed. I was required to be tough, but the job of doing things that others couldn't do gave me a great sense of fulfillment.

When I returned to Japan to start my own business, I thought of combining "drilling x chemistry." Drilling was the field I studied in my previous job. I chose chemistry because it is easy to protect the uniqueness of the technology and methods. I conducted numerous experiments and worked hard to develop "drilling additives." Then, I established a manufacturing method that applied the technology used in pharmaceuticals. Our excavation additives are able to maintain their effectiveness for a much longer period of time than conventional products, even in harsh underground environments.

Not everything was a success from the start. Numerous failures make the impossible possible. With this belief, we have continued to take on new challenges. We will continue to provide unique value, expand the fields we are involved in, and make efforts to make GEOX known to even more people.

Corporate Philosophy

We will always create innovative products and contribute to the advancement of underground development around the world as an absolutely reliable brand in underground construction.
