JX Nippon Oil, Lixil form sales partnership for green products

JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp. and Lixil Group Corp. will form an operational partnership for sales of energy-saving products, the firms said on March 27, 2013.
JX Nippon Oil sells fuel cells, solar panels and other residential-use power systems by offering free consultations on energy consumption at homes. The plan is to use this channel to market Lixil energy-saving windows and doors with enhanced insulation. Agents explain how insulating openings like doors can help lower energy bills, for example.
In the future, the partners will also consider selling other JX Nippon Oil products such as fuel cells, through Lixil home renovation sales channels.
