Environmental issues are the top priority in modern society, and people's consciousness is changing toward the realization of a recycling-based society. The transformation from "Ownership to usership" is becoming more noticeable and “Sharing” is gaining its popularity among various fields. UPR is a company that supports the logistics infrastructure in Thailand with 10 delivery points in area such as Ayutthaya, Kabinburi, Bangna, Laemchabang, and Rayong with rental of pallets and racks which is essential for logistics and cargo handling operations as the core business.
Overcoming the Asian currency crisis, big flood and numerous difficulties, Thailand has developed rapidly. The reason why it is called “Honorable Student in Southeast Asia” may be because it still maintains a high economic growth rate. As in Japan in the past, rising incomes raise living standards. In other words, people live in abundancy, whatever they want can be achieved and whatever they produce can be sold. Such an era may last a several years. However, the “Honorable Student'' who has maintained its position as an industrial nation has been suffering by the U.S.-China trade war and rising labor costs, as well as the peer pressure from neighboring countries has increased. Major reformation is demanded to break out of the “trap in middle-income countries''.
The urgent challenge for businesses is to transform from a large body to a fit and toned body that combines both agility and sustainability like an athlete. As social structure is changing with lighting speed nowadays, one may not have the time to spend on "PDCA". In such times where prompt decisions must be made, the phrase "Ownership to Usership", proposed by UPR, is capturing people’s attention.
"The advantage of rental is that, you can use as many as you need when you need them. So that pallets not in use do not occupy the factory or warehouse. In addition, since the quality is maintained by us, there is no maintenance cost (maintenance, cleaning, etc.) which would be required of you if you own them. Furthermore, you can rent it in Thailand and return it in Japan, which is also advantageous for both the customers and the environmental protection point of view.” says Mr. Otsu.
In addition to the logistics equipment business, the company also carries out a support jacket (assist suit) business based on the philosophy of being friendly to both the environment and workers. This ergonomically designed jacket is not only stylish, but also guides the spine and hips to the ideal posture simply by wearing it. It is also considered to support muscles. In addition to reducing the burden on the cervical spine which causes low back pain and fatigue.
It is lightweight and easy to wear and remove, not only that it is ideal for men, it is also suitable for women and seniors. It can be widely used not only in the logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing industries, but also in medical and food industries regardless of fields. In fact, it is being introduced to various sites in Japan and Thailand. UPR is contributing to the productivity improvement of various industries in Thailand by providing logistics equipment and support jackets.
