Mitsui Home is pleased to announce that the "Autobacs Saga Yamato Inter Store," the first wooden store of the Autobacs Group, which was constructed with Mitsui Home providing structural design and construction services under the leadership of Autobacs Seven Co., Ltd., opened on April 18. It was considered difficult to construct a wooden store using the framed wall method due to the absence of partitions in the conventional steel frame store section and the need for large openings in the store's longitudinal direction to facilitate vehicle access to the car maintenance area. However, by utilizing Mitsui Home's MOCX technology, including the Connect Truss and the tie-down system "Rodman," we were able to achieve the large openings and spacious interiors required for the store. Moving forward, we will continue to promote the wooden construction and wood utilization of buildings for various purposes, contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society and furthering the spread and development of wooden architecture.

Mitsui Home is pleased to announce the launch of our unique wooden construction technology brand "MOCX," which encompasses our proprietary wooden construction techniques. Recently, the option of "wooden construction" has been increasing in various buildings in towns where steel frame and reinforced concrete structures have been mainstream. Our company aims to align with the current trends towards achieving a decarbonized society, establishing a collective name for the unique technologies we have cultivated in wooden construction, further developing these technologies, and expanding the possibilities of wooden architecture to promote wooden construction in various fields.
