The appeal of working at Oohashi Co., Ltd.株式会社オオハシで働く魅力

Strong teamwork through recycling

Oohashi operates from three locations: the head office, the Kanuma factory, and the Nishizawa factory.
The work content varies depending on the location, so each location has its own unique character, but ultimately, the work at each location is connected by “recycling.” The president and others frequently visit the factories and are in close contact, so Oohashi’s strength is that we can respond quickly.
We respond immediately to issues that need immediate improvement, and when more thought is needed, we can respond quickly by holding meetings.

Creating a corporate environment that moves forward together with employees

Oohashi aims to create a company where employees can grow together.
To achieve this, it is essential that each employee demonstrates their individual abilities and create a workplace where they can shine.
Currently, we hold general training sessions once or twice a year to share the company’s direction, values, and situation, and to focus on increasing communication. In recent years, we have also focused on human resource development to improve employees’ basic skills, hoping to fully utilize each employee’s abilities and make them attractive members of society. Our company trip, held once every two years, has a high participation rate, and we also incorporate internal opinions into employee benefits, aiming to be a “good company.”

T.K

Date of joining the company: October 2018
Department name: Kanuma Factory Cable Sorting and Crushing

Reasons for joining the company: The most important thing is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that my family is also working, but I also decided to join the company because I believe that the business of recycling over 90% of the waste electric cables that come to the Kanuma factory is a job that will be needed in the future.The company also offers comprehensive employee benefits, so I think it is an environment where I can feel secure both in my personal and professional life.
Current job content and motivation: I am in charge of sorting and crushing waste electrical cables.
Waste electrical cables are collected from various sites and brought to Ohashi.
We carefully remove any debris and dismantle the cables using methods appropriate for them.
It’s a struggle at first, but gradually we get the hang of it and are able to process them. However, it’s important to process them efficiently, so we clearly define the division of roles and strive to work well as a team.
What do you think are the charms and strengths of Oohashi?: I think it is a strength that the cables we dismantle are transformed into resources that can be used again in society. It is a steady process, but we have accumulated technology little by little, and I believe that our technology will be useful in new fields in the future.
The atmosphere at Oohashi: Teamwork is very important in my job, and I think it’s great that we are always attentive and communicate to ensure the work progresses smoothly.
What’s great about joining Oohashi?: There are many annual holidays, little overtime, and a good work-life balance.
My work is rewarding and I have a fulfilling private life.
A message to job seekers: We believe that our work is valuable and does not waste resources.
Let’s work together and spread recycling from Toucan!

Date of joining the company: March 2023
Department name: Nishizawa Factory Sorting and Dismantling

Reasons for joining the company: Not only was it close to my home and easy to commute to, but it was also a company that had been in business in the local area for a long time, so I thought it was the right choice. In fact, when I looked at Ohashi’s website, I thought it was a company that contributes to society by making the most of limited resources and not wasting them, and in a world where the term “SDGs” is thrown around a lot, I wanted to become someone who will be needed in the future, so I applied to join the company.
The benefits were also good compared to other companies in the area, which was a major factor in my choice.
Current job content and motivation: We sort the covering materials and metals from waste electric wires, which is the final step in sorting the raw materials for Repy Board.
In the past, only the copper from waste electric wires was needed, but Ohashi has always considered covering materials to be an important resource. As a company with recycling technology that has been passed down for many years, employees are well evaluated, and their hard work is reflected in their salary and three annual bonuses. Of course, there are busy times, but there are also many holidays, and the treatment is better than my previous job, so it’s rewarding.
What do you think are the charms and strengths of Oohashi?: I think Ohashi is a socially and environmentally friendly company that specializes in recycling, something that only a small or medium-sized enterprise can do. Their approach to resource recycling and the skills they have accumulated over the years are their strengths and appeal, and they prioritize quality when manufacturing recycled plastic products.
The atmosphere at Oohashi: At Nishizawa Factory, I received solid support from my seniors in the workplace, and I think the teamwork is excellent. I participated in a company trip in the fall of 2012, which was also fun, and the company-wide banquet was very lively.
What’s great about joining Oohashi?: Although I was a middle-aged person, I was happy to join the company.
The job was rewarding, my annual income increased, and it helped me gain confidence.
As I’ve mentioned many times before, going on a company trip was a lot of fun.
A message to job seekers: It’s good to look for a job that suits you, but if you try a new job, you might find that it actually suits you. If that job is a business that is useful to society, it will also lead to social contribution. Let’s work together!

N.W

Date of joining the company: July 2024
Department name: Nishizawa Factory Sorting and Dismantling

Reasons for joining the company: The working hours are from 8:00 to 17:00, and there is generally little overtime.
It is close to my home, and I have Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays off, so it is easy to plan my private time. I thought that the company is environmentally and socially friendly, especially in the aspect of manufacturing recycled products, and I wanted to be a part of it, so I applied to join the company.
Current job content and motivation: I work to separate aluminum, iron, and coating materials from discarded electric wires.
This is work that I can do steadily at my own pace, so I think it suits me well. It does require some skill, but once you get used to it, you can work faster and produce a lot of recycled resources. My work helps to ensure that Toucan’s limited resources are not wasted, and I find it rewarding to be able to contribute to society.
What do you think are the charms and strengths of Oohashi?: I think the recycling business that we have been running up until now is a strength. What makes Ohashi appealing is that we do not just turn recycled resources into raw materials, but also recycle them into products, and we are particular about quality.
The atmosphere at Oohashi: Everyone gets along well and the atmosphere is bright, making it a very easy place to work.
I joined mid-career and was able to fit in right away. It’s also a company where people work very hard and have a clear sense of switching between work and personal time.
What’s great about joining Oohashi?: I think this is a very rewarding job.
If you work hard and it translates into good results, you will be properly evaluated.
The company also offers excellent employee benefits, allowing me to live a fulfilling private life.
A message to job seekers: Our seniors will provide you with careful guidance, so let’s work hard and have fun together!
