Osaka's 101-Year-Old Company Challenges Guinness World Records™ with Employees and Families

Nantsune Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fujiidera City, Osaka; President: Tsuneyuki Minami), a comprehensive manufacturer of meat processing machinery, will attempt a Guinness World Records™ challenge using meat slicers on Saturday, April 25, 2026, with employees and their families, both adults and children, participating together.

This event was planned as an opportunity for employees and their families to share the company's work and challenges in the same place. On the day of the event, comedians from Yoshimoto Kogyo will also participate to show their support, making the venue a lively event while still being a serious challenge.

## Background of the Event

This Guinness World Records™ challenge will be carried out as an event where not only employees but also their families participate together. The aim is to create a sense of unity within the organization by sharing the company's challenge with families and working towards the same goal.
Furthermore, to ensure that employees and their families can enjoy the event with peace of mind, the following plans are also scheduled for the day:
・Production of a commemorative album summarizing event memories, with one album presented to each family.
・Installation of a message board displaying messages of gratitude from employees to their families.

In addition to the Guinness World Records™ challenge, the event will serve as an opportunity to express gratitude to the families who support employees' households, and to convey "the pride in their parents' work" to children who rarely get to see their parents at work.

## Message from the President

### Tsuneyuki Minami, President and CEO

We will challenge a Guinness World Records™ with our employees and their families.
Normally, our company manufactures machinery, but this time, we will create a "record." Of course, I will also participate with my children.

The challenge is not about whether it will succeed, but about trying it first. On the day, we will be serious, but also enjoy it to the fullest.

## Overview of the Guinness World Records™ Challenge

Using our flagship product, the meat slicer, employees, families, and related parties will sequentially slice meat within a time limit, aiming for the "most participants" record.

## Voices of Employees

### Engineering Group, 3rd-year employee

I believe this is a great opportunity for my family to directly experience the work I do and the atmosphere of my workplace. I've had many overseas business trips, so it might have been difficult for my children to imagine what my job is like, but I hope they can feel even a little bit, "Dad does this kind of work," through this event. I hope we can enjoy the day as a family and create lasting memories.

### Sales Team, 3rd-year employee

When I first heard about the event, I was surprised, thinking, "We're going to challenge a Guinness World Records™!" However, the attitude of committing fully to a decided goal is very much like our company. The fact that not only employees but also families and friends can participate is also refreshing, and I believe it's a valuable opportunity for the company to come together and take on a challenge. I'm really looking forward to being there for the moment of the challenge.

### Event Planning Manager

At the milestone of our 100th anniversary, we wanted to make it not just an event, but a "challenge that leaves both a record and a memory," which led us to plan the Guinness World Records™ attempt. By having not only employees but also their families and loved ones participate, we aim to create an event where people of all ages and positions can challenge a single goal together. On the day, I hope it will be a day where everyone can enjoy themselves while getting a closer feel for the company's products and work, and challenge the record.
