Mitsuiwa Receives 'Partner Excellence Award' from Soliton Systems

Mitsuiwa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroki Takahashi; hereinafter 'Mitsuiwa') is pleased to announce that it has received the 'Partner Excellence Award' at the 'Soliton Partner Conference 2026' held by Soliton Systems K.K. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Osamu Kamata; hereinafter 'Soliton Systems') on May 28, 2026. This award recognizes Mitsuiwa's outstanding achievements and significant growth in the sales and deployment of Soliton Systems' security products and services.

■ Key Evaluation Points
Mitsuiwa has achieved continuous and significant sales growth of over 300% year-on-year, centered on Soliton Systems' cloud authentication platform, 'Soliton OneGate.' Mitsuiwa's Soliton OneGate-related business is expected to continue growing at a rate of approximately 140% year-on-year. This 'extremely high growth rate' and 'substantial sales volume' were key factors in Mitsuiwa's selection for the 'Partner Excellence Award.'

Furthermore, the award reflects a comprehensive evaluation of Mitsuiwa's efforts, including the building of a strong relationship of trust with Soliton Systems through continuous collaboration, the creation and implementation of projects nationwide, and the proposal and deployment of security solutions across a wide range of industries such as healthcare, local government, and education (GIGA School). Mitsuiwa is recognized not just for product sales, but as a partner that contributes to solving customer issues and improving security levels.

■ Future Outlook
Following this award, Mitsuiwa will further strengthen its collaboration with Soliton Systems. As a 'partner highly valued by the manufacturer,' Mitsuiwa will continue to build a system that customers can trust more than ever, while accelerating joint proposals and the deployment of new security solutions with Soliton Systems.

Furthermore, based on the evaluation criteria of the 'SCS Evaluation System' (Security Countermeasure Evaluation System for Supply Chain Strengthening) promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Mitsuiwa will enhance its collaboration with Soliton Systems and strengthen its efforts in next-generation security architectures, including Zero Trust. Through these initiatives, Mitsuiwa will provide results to customers nationwide and continue to support the construction and operation of safe and secure IT infrastructure that supports their businesses.

We are pleased to share an endorsement from Soliton Systems regarding this announcement.
