Solid Client Base
Expanding from Shizuoka Prefecture and the Kanto region to all of Japan

Become an indispensable part of customers’ lives

TOKAI Group was founded in 1950 as a provider of city gas. Since then we have diversified to provide a broad range of products and services covering various aspects of customers’ daily lives, such as LP gas, Internet, CATV, and Aqua (bottled water delivery).
By actively expanding the Group’s sales area from Shizuoka Prefecture and the Kanto region to the whole of Japan, our customer base has grown to 3.3 million.
In response to the complete liberalization of electric power retail sales from April 2016, we have begun offering “TOKAI Kasatoku Plus,” a set menu of various services in combination with the new electricity pricing plans offered by Tokyo Electric Power Company. Providing additional merits to customers (double benefits of discount prices and TLC points) will bring TOKAI even closer to its customers.

Growth highlights
  • Winning new customers by expanding our service area
  • Using “TOKAI Kasatoku Plus” as a hook to promote cross-selling

A diverse service lineup, including LP gas, Internet, Aqua (bottled water delivery), and CATV

One-stop provision of various lifestyle infrastructure services

In April 2011, we integrated management, shifting to a holding company structure in order to create synergy within the Group.
Since then, the Group has provided a wide variety of services related to people's lives and social infrastructure. Behind the spread of these services is a corporate culture that strives to meet all customer needs and to increase customer joy and satisfaction.
As a service that embodies this, we will develop the "TLC Membership Service", a membership system across the group, and further strengthen our ties with customers.

Growth highlights
  • Bolstering the lineup of products and services related to lifestyle infrastructure services
  • Using the TLC membership system to strengthen our connection with customers and to improve customer satisfaction
