Wesco Holdings is a pure holding company that manages subsidiaries engaged in comprehensive construction consulting, sports facility operations, aquarium operations, printing, real estate, and other businesses. The company's primary services are consulting work such as construction planning, design, and surveys, as well as revenue generation through facility operations and management.

The group's main customers include local governments, government agencies, private construction companies, and general users of sports facilities and aquariums. The construction business primarily generates revenue through contract fees for commissioned work, while facility operations derive revenue from admission fees, operational management fees, and related service income.

The company operates through four business segments: comprehensive construction consulting, sports facility operations, aquarium operations, and other businesses. In the construction sector, Wesco Co., Ltd., Nishinihon Technical Consultant Co., Ltd., and Icon Co., Ltd. handle surveying, design, and environmental surveys. N.C.P. Co., Ltd. operates sports facilities, Aquament Co., Ltd. operates aquariums, and NCP Supply Co., Ltd. and other subsidiaries handle printing and real estate-related operations.

The company is rebuilding its business foundation through its "First Medium-Term Management Plan (fiscal year ending July 2024 through July 2026)" and aims to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term with targets for fiscal year ending July 2026 of: revenue of 17,000 million yen (170 billion yen), operating profit of 1,050 million yen, operating margin of 6.4%, and ROE of 5.0% or higher. This plan is positioned as a milestone toward achieving targets ten years ahead, emphasizing not only short-term performance recovery but also profitability improvement.

As priority investment areas, the company is concentrating resources on human capital and technology. Specifically, it is enhancing internal production capacity through technology transfer to reduce errors and accidents, securing diverse talent and strengthening in-house training, and improving employee satisfaction through work style reforms. On the technology front, the company is pursuing differentiation against competitors through research and development promotion, while improving profitability through increased per-capita productivity and organizational restructuring.

For business expansion, the company is designating disaster prevention and mitigation as priority areas within its core comprehensive construction consulting business and pursuing order growth in the Kanto and Kyushu regions. Given that approximately 90% of clients are government agencies, the company is strengthening participation in public-private partnerships (PPP/PFI) and concession arrangements for maintenance, management, and operation of public facilities to secure new stable revenue sources. For sports facilities, the company plans to expand franchises and open new locations to build brand recognition, while for aquariums, it plans to increase visitor revenue by opening small-scale urban facilities.

As part of its technology innovation efforts, the company is actively promoting business digitalization. Specifically, it is implementing digital tools in surveying and design, utilizing cloud-based business management, and advancing disaster prevention design support through data analysis to streamline business processes, ultimately aiming to achieve an operating margin of 6.4% and operating profit of 1,050 million yen. These initiatives aim to differentiate the company through research and development investment and on-site productivity improvements while enhancing operational safety.
