Overview

Fuji Kogyo is a petroleum products wholesaler founded in 1949, specializing in fuel oil and asphalt sales by leveraging its affiliation with the ENEOS Group.

Current Situation

Fuji Kogyo recorded consolidated sales of 65 billion yen and consolidated net profit of 400 million yen for the fiscal year ended March 2023, maintaining a stable revenue base. It mainly wholesales fuel oil and asphalt products, based on procurement from the ENEOS Group. It withdrew from petroleum refining in 2001 and is concentrating management resources on fuel sales and renewable energy businesses. It operates solar power generation projects at multiple locations to promote environmental initiatives. While addressing business reconstruction as a challenge, it continues management reforms such as establishing a new business promotion office. It aims to strengthen competitiveness by utilizing its logistics network and primary vendor qualifications. In the future, it will position expansion of renewable energy and recycling businesses as strategic pillars, aiming for sustainable growth. Intensifying competition in the domestic wholesale market and fluctuations in energy prices are management risks. Overseas expansion is limited, with priority on expanding market share in the domestic market and strengthening the business foundation.
