About Us
Multiple businesses and global competition
Shikder Sabit Selim
Chief of International Department
ARCA Co. Ltd. provides a wide range of custom services, our main focus are solar energy systems (including roof-mounting) and clean energy projects such as storage batteries. Additionally, we also carry out the development of smart-toilet businesses and marketing targeting an international market. We already possess subsidiaries in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, and are scheduled to enter into the European and American markets in the future.
Vision
Building a bright future for the coming generations
Since the founding of our company following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake disaster, ARCA has received support from local authorities, and has been able to routinely contribute to the popularization of green, sustainable energy. Although selling smart toilets in other countries does occasionally run up against cultural walls, we strive to spread Japanese toilet culture and increase its international popularity.

Creating enthusiasm in the world market
We do not require strict qualifications like seeing your grades or Japanese proficiency tests as proof of your character. Rather, because ARCA is so interested in foreign markets and world trade, we are looking for the sort of people who can communicate with customers worldwide, carrying out advertising of goods and services in a number of countries, and who have confidence and passion for global business. Additionally, we welcome international talent with the desire to open up markets in their home countries. It also goes without saying that an important qualification is the ability to put their all into learning new things.

Have there been any changes to business in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis?
As ARCA has many transactions on the overseas market, the coronavirus pandemic has created a number of issues, as we lack in-person opportunities and the ability to make inspections. Although our working hours have not changed, because most of our business is being carried out online, it has made interactions easier and made us even busier. Additionally, there are the positives of being able to introduce our products live, allowing customers to watch remotely.
Does ARCA have competitors?
The Japanese market for smart toilets is highly competitive, and the corporations with the highest shares are themselves competitive not because of their technology or quality, but because of the value of their brand and product line-up (which means not just toilets, but complete sets of faucets, baths, wash basins, etc.). So, ARCA engages in a more flexible strategy, hammering value into our prices. Additionally, we at ARCA give our undivided attention to the global market, seeking to spread Japanese toilet culture. Although there are difficulties in making sales in America, we are adapting smart toilets to the COVID-19 crisis, and have seen the smart toilet market in America increase by 5% this year.
