At that time there has been an increase of  road pavement construction and to meet the demands timely, Hanta put an effort  for the development of series of other related product line. Oil crisis hit in  1973 has caused a drastic change in the  situation. However Hanta has succeeded in development of mini-asphalt pavers,  and won a good reputation in both domestic and overseas markets.
