The company serves a wide range of customers including contractors, construction companies, individual consumers, commercial tenants, and prospective automobile buyers. Revenue comes from multiple sources: lumber and building materials sales, retail operations, construction contracts, real estate rental income, automobile sales and maintenance services, and financial services including credit, in-house loans, and insurance agency commissions.

The business is organized into six main divisions. The lumber division sells lumber and building materials through subsidiaries. The distribution division operates furniture sales, home center products, and credit/in-house loan sales. The construction division handles civil engineering, paving, and building and commercial facility projects. The real estate leasing division rents apartments, single-family homes, offices, and warehouses. The automotive division provides sales and maintenance services.

The company has established its medium-term management plan "TO PLAN 2026" (June 2023–May 2026), with stabilizing core operations as a pillar of its growth strategy to achieve business recovery and improved financial health. Specifically, the company positions distribution (home center division), automotive-related, and timber businesses as its core, targeting stable profit generation with operating margin as a key performance indicator. Concurrently, the company aims to reduce interest-bearing debt and restore net assets, realizing financial soundness in the near to medium term.

The company concentrates resources on existing core businesses as its priority investment areas. Operating companies focus intensively on sales activities, while administrative divisions pursue efficiency improvements to enhance cost structure. For differentiation, the company leverages a "one-stop customer touchpoint" strength by combining timber sales, retail, construction, real estate leasing, automotive sales and maintenance, and financial services including credit and proprietary loans. The company aims to strengthen its comprehensive proposal capabilities with a community-focused approach.

The company continues cross-group issue sharing and information gathering on new businesses to develop new markets and expand operations. By addressing talent acquisition and organizational vitalization across the group, the company plans to strengthen store expansion and service offerings, broadening revenue streams through added-value provision to existing customers in rental and construction sectors. While prioritizing relationships with local communities, the company aims to maintain and expand market share through tenant recruitment and community-focused service deployment.

The company positions technological innovation as a critical initiative for operational efficiency and advanced internal controls. Specifically, the company pursues process reviews and IT implementation in administrative divisions, establishing systems to support sales capabilities through efficiency gains in sales and inventory management, settlement, and credit operations.
