Promoting a DX Strategy at a U.S. Subsidiary
~Fuyo General Lease (USA) Inc.~

In recent years, Fuyo General Lease (USA) Inc. has been steadily expanding its asset base while collaborating with various dedicated divisions in areas of focus such as renewable energy and real estate, in addition to engaging in the traditional leasing business.
Fuyo General Lease (USA) began updating its core systems to lay the groundwork for implementing one of the Group's DX strategies: Digital Support for Sales Activities.
Local staff played a pivotal role in this project from the planning stage. They proactively held numerous meetings and tests with system vendors. The project is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024 following an approximately two-year project period.
Leveraging these updated core systems, Fuyo Lease will bolster its support structure for sales activities as it strives to further expand business in the U.S.

Taking a New Step to Connect the Skies through Group-wide Teamwork
~Aircraft Leasing and Management Limited (ALM) & FGL Aircraft USA Inc. (Air USA)~

ALM is a general aircraft-related services subsidiary based in the U.K. It provides services such as fleet management and remarketing. In 2014, we acquired all of ALM's shares to strengthen our aircraft business.
Air USA is an aircraft leasing subsidiary based in the U.S. In 2022, we assigned staff members to this subsidiary in an effort to increase orders through building relationships with U.S. airlines and enhance our network.
Both companies successfully executed lease transactions with major U.S. airlines in 2023 by making the most of their respective roles and partnerships.
We will continue to foster close collaboration at all of our sites and drive further growth in Fuyo General Lease's aircraft business.

Building Partnerships with Customers also in Thailand
~Fuyo General Lease (Thailand) Co., Ltd.~

Fuyo General Lease (Thailand) Co., Ltd. primarily operates in the leasing business related to environmental, energy, and mobility sectors. In the field of environmental energy, we have established collaborations with partner companies in Japan and extended them to Thailand, leveraging these partnerships to provide services to corporate clients.
During the implementation of the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) for The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok in Bangkok, owned by Asset World Corporation Public Company Limited (AWC), a leading real estate group in Thailand, our national staff worked closely with Azbil Thailand Co., Ltd., the local subsidiary of Azbil Corporation, to drive the project and received high praise from our clients. We shared our experience in resolving various challenges unique to the Thai market with Azbil Thailand, which has been an asset in subsequent implementation projects.
