Annual Summer Event: A "Full Load" of Logistics, IT, and Experimentation Experiences on August 20 (Thu)

Pal System Consumers' Cooperative Union (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Atsuyuki Shibusawa) will hold a special event, "Work Experience & Inspection Center Experiment Class," on August 20, 2026 (Thu) in Inagi City, Tokyo. Aimed at elementary school students and their families, participants will experience the entire process from logistics, IT, and product inspection to "how ordered products safely reach you."

Systems for Delivering Products Safely and Reliably

Through the work experience, participants can learn about the delivery system using sorting machines, original videos, and tablets actually used at Pal System's logistics center. The session will take approximately 50 minutes.

At the Product Inspection Center, after touring the facility and observing inspections, participants will conduct a "paper chromatography" experiment to separate ink colors. This session will take approximately 60 minutes.

Pal System has been holding work experience events since August 2023, with over 2,000 people participating in total. The experiment class for users' families has been held during the summer vacation period at the Product Inspection Center. These two popular programs are held together only once a year, on this specific day.
