Thank you very much for visiting the website of HITEC Inc.

We are excited to announce the launch of our brand-new section, "Representative's Column (HITEC NOTE)", on our official website!

In this column, our representative will regularly share firsthand insights, our passionate journey towards smart work (DX) implementation, daily stories from construction sites, and visionary proposals for the future of the electrical contracting industry.

Our milestone first article is now live: "A 1-Month Record of a 76-Year-Old Electrical Contracting Company President Upgrading the 'Company's Infrastructure' with AI as a Partner".

It vividly describes our thrilling "major infrastructure surgery" migrating from Otsuka Shokai servers to Google Workspace, and the exciting development story of our proprietary "Project Master App" with the support of Google's latest AI, "Gemini".

"The most historic company working with the most cutting-edge tools." We welcome you to experience our real-life journey of respecting traditions while fearlessly upgrading customs to fit the modern era.

HITEC Inc.'s official website has been completely renewed.
We will continue to enhance the content to make it easier to read and understand. Thank you for your continued support.

HITEC has adopted the latest cloud tools like Google Workspace company-wide and is promoting "smart work" that is not bound by time or place.

By improving operational efficiency through a paperless environment and facilitating seamless communication with the field using smartphones and tablets, we have prepared a state-of-the-art DX environment where each employee can maximize their performance.

Our visiting lecture at Mishima Junior High School in Nasushiobara city was featured in the February 10 (Tue) edition of Tochigi Kensetsu Shimbun!
To communicate the appeal of the construction and electrical work industries to many people,
11 electrical contractors in Nasushiobara City established the Nasushiobara Electrical Work Appeal Promotion Study Group.
We are regularly giving visiting lectures at local schools.

Articles introducing our operational improvements through DX using "DEN UP" are posted over 4 pages.
Please take a look!

We respectfully wish you a Happy New Year.
Considering the recent rise in environmental awareness and the transition to digitalization, our company will refrain from sending New Year's cards to all our business partners from 2024 onwards.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
We look forward to your continued friendship and cooperation.
We pray for your continued success and development.

Since 2015, HITEC has been conducting cleaning activities (I-Road Tochigi) six times a year as part of our CSR activities.
For this continuous effort, we received a certificate of appreciation from the Director of the Otawara Civil Engineering Office, Tochigi Prefecture.
The volunteer support program appreciation presentation ceremony was featured in the Tochigi Kensetsu Shimbun and Nikkan Kensetsu Shimbun published on December 6.

We acquired ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015.
Considering quality and the environment, we will aim to be a "company loved by people and society," which is our management philosophy!

You can still listen to our president, who was nervous throughout, on radiko, so please check it out!

Appearance: Friday, December 13 around 16:30~

Thanks to your support, HITEC Inc. celebrated its 75th anniversary on June 1, 2024.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our customers and everyone who has supported us to reach this 75th year milestone.
The history of our company began in 1949 when my grandfather founded a consumer electronics business called Hasuike Radio Shop.
Later, the current chairman established Hasuike Electrical Company Ltd. in 1973, laying the foundation for our current company.
Based on this foundation, so that HITEC Inc. will continue to be an indispensable entity for the region and society,
we will never forget our original intentions. Under our management philosophy of becoming a "company loved by people and society," all employees will unite and aim to become an enterprise that lasts 100 or 200 years.
We sincerely ask for your continued support.

We held a family visiting day on Saturday, April 27.
Thank you to the many families who participated in activities like riding heavy equipment such as aerial work platforms, excavators, and forklifts, and experiencing static electricity.

A new program by Uji Koji, "Uji Koji's SORRY SORRY," starts on RADIO BERRY!
We are looking forward to seeing what kind of talks the two from the northern area will have!
HITEC's radio commercial will also be broadcast in the 18:00 hour slot, so please check it out!

RADIO BERRY 76.4FM

In the construction industry, overtime limits will be enforced from April 2024.
We are required to promote the five-day workweek, encourage taking annual paid leave, and review the prescribed working hours.
For the past few years, HITEC has been gradually increasing non-working days and has established designated paid leave days.
Starting this fiscal year, we have introduced a five-day workweek, and the number of annual holidays has increased significantly compared to before.
We are providing iPads to all employees to further streamline work efficiency!

HITEC has started presenting long-service awards from this fiscal year.
This time, 7 people who contributed to the development of our company for over 10 years were honored!
Congratulations!
Next year, we also have employees eligible for the 10-year and 20-year awards.
Welcoming new employees, we will continue to aim to be a "company loved by people and society."

We have introduced the Ino Tadataka Pedometer!
This pedometer allows you to feel like you are walking around the map of Japan like a game.
At HITEC Inc., all employees, starting with the President, carry this pedometer.
We plan to introduce monthly prizes for employees who walk a lot.

As part of health promotion, we have introduced balance balls to the office.
We use balance balls instead of chairs to strengthen our core!
Even with a ring to support the ball, it is surprisingly tough to stay balanced during the day.

We also placed some balance balls in the craftsmen's seating area!
At the end of the day, they sit on balance balls while writing their daily reports.
