Kaiho Sangyo Co., Ltd. (会宝産業株式会社, Kaiho Sangyo Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese automobile recycling company based in Kanazawa city, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.[1]

History

[edit]

In 1969 Norihiko Kondo founded Kondo Automobile Company Inc. in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. His company originally specialized in dismantling automobiles and selling scrap steel, aluminium and copper.

The turning point for the business came in 1991 when he sold 20 tons of used engines and suspension parts to a customer from Kuwait. In 1992, Kondo renamed his company Kaiho Sangyo and shifted his business from a simple car-scrapping company to a recycling reseller of used automobile parts in foreign countries.[2]

Revenue grew rapidly from 715 million yen in 2003 to 2.1 billion yen in 2008. Kaiho decided to invest in environmental management systems and product quality management systems in the early 2000s. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry awarded the IT Management Award for Small and Medium Enterprises to Kaiho in 2008.[3]

Kaiho Sangyo was the largest exporter of used automobile parts in Japan in 2010.[4][5]

Kaiho's operating capacity in 2011 was 1200 vehicles per month, and it exported more than 20,000 engines annually to 74 countries with joint ventures in Thailand, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and Singapore.[6]

Kaiho Sangyo founded the Re-Use Motorization Alliance (RUM Alliance) in April 2003[7] and the International Recycling Education Center (IREC) in April 2007.[8] The company developed a standard for rating the quality of used engines for export, called the Japan Reuse Standard (JRS). The JRS uses a five-level assessment for six items including compression, overheating and mileage.

In February 2013, Kaiho Sangyo submitted its own technical specification of JRS to the British Standard Institute (BSI), which was issued as the Publicly Available Specification PAS777 in October of the same year.[9]

Since April 2015, the company is led by Takayuki Kondo, son of Norihiko Kondo.[10]

The company was creating a vehicle recycling plant in Minas Gerais (Brazil) in collaboration with the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais (Cefet-MG) in 2014.[11]
