Japanese companies Denzai and Besterra have signed a strategic partnership agreement for the development of demolition business for overseas plants.

This collaboration will combine Besterra’s engineering technologies (patents, know-how, etc) and construction management capabilities for dismantling plant facilities with Denzai’s extensive line-up of equipment, such as ultra-large crawler cranes and special transportation equipment, as well as their procurement and planning capabilities and international mobility.

At the beginning of the partnership, Besterra will also provide its expertise in plant dismantling engineering to Denzai Huationg Pte Ltd in Singapore. Denzai Group will promote strategic business development to meet demand for dismantling and renewal of plant facilities in the region and worldwide.

The two companies have long been building a cooperative relationship. “We have been providing safe, appropriate and efficient demolition work in the Japanese domestic plant demolition market. The strategic partnership alliance will enable us to cooperate in providing safe, appropriate and efficient demolition services for large-scale plant facilities overseas,” said Denzai.

“We have been collaborating with Besterra for some time now, operating large cranes in our plant demolition business in Japan,” said Kohki Uemura, CEO of Denzai K.K. “We acquired the same business in Singapore in 2020, and it is now our overseas headquarters.”

He added, “Singapore is a small country that has developed through repeated scrap-and-build cycles, constantly promoting the effective use of its land. GX is dynamically progressing there, and the demolition of ageing thermal power plants and the construction of power plants using hydrogen as a fuel source are proceeding simultaneously.

“On the other hand, there are only a limited number of specialised demolition companies like Besterra that can perform demolition work efficiently and with the utmost consideration for the environment and safety. Through this business alliance, Denzai will combine its large cranes, engineering capabilities, and local customer channels with Besterra’s know-how to provide competitive, high-value-added plant demolition services in Singapore and the ASEAN region.”
