Arai Auction Makes Its First Appearance at the CSPI2026
Arai Auction, operated by Arai Shoji Co., Ltd., exhibited at the 8th Construction & Survey Productivity Improvement Expo (CSPI2026), held at Makuhari Messe from Wednesday, June 17 to Saturday, June 20, 2026.
CSPI is one of Japan’s largest exhibitions dedicated to the construction and surveying industries, bringing together the latest products, technologies, and services in these fields. The four-day event welcomed more than 60,000 visitors.
At the Arai Auction booth, visitors were introduced to the wide range of products handled by the company and the auction process. They were also able to experience a live auction demonstration featuring used vehicles and machinery—an opportunity that is normally unavailable to the general public, as Arai Auction operates on a membership basis.
This marked Arai Auction’s first time exhibiting at CSPI. The booth attracted a large number of visitors from both Japan and overseas.Visitors shared comments such as:“I had no idea that auctions were also used as a business model for construction machinery.”“I had heard of Arai Auction and had been interested in its services for some time, but I had never gone as far as making an inquiry. I was glad that this exhibition gave me an opportunity to speak with the team in a casual and approachable setting.”
Yasuyuki Hinata, General Manager overseeing Arai Auction’s construction machinery, forklift, and agricultural machinery auctions, commented:“Through this exhibition, we experienced a level of enthusiasm that exceeded our expectations and gained a strong sense of the significant latent demand for used construction machinery auctions.We are confident that visitors were able to gain a broader and more accurate understanding of the value Arai Auction offers—not merely as a marketplace for buying and selling machinery, but as a partner that helps businesses maximize the value of their assets.The tremendous response we received reflects the expectations placed on Arai Auction, and it has further strengthened our sense of responsibility.We will continue to improve the auction environment to make it easier to consign and purchase construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and forklifts. By developing a highly specialized auction platform optimized for both sellers and buyers, and by continuing to provide a transparent and reliable distribution marketplace, we aim to contribute to the development of distribution networks not only in Japan but also globally.”
Takayuki Hori, General Manager overseeing Arai Auction’s parts auctions, commented:“We received inquiries from many companies regarding the effective use of surplus inventory and idle assets.Through the exhibition, we once again recognized that significant value exists not only in construction machinery itself, but also in related equipment such as parts and attachments.Moving forward, we will use our auctions to identify new value in products and assets that have not previously circulated sufficiently in the market. Under our guiding principle of ‘Creating Value for Every Asset,’ we will continue working to expand the distribution market.”
Arai Auction will continue to value the new relationships established through this exhibition while raising awareness of auction-based solutions within the construction machinery sector.We will also remain committed to operating auctions that are easier to use and deliver greater value to all of our members.
