Announcement on Establishing Increased Production System for Seismic Circuit Breakers in Response to Surge in Demand Following Cabinet Approval of Government's 'Basic Plan for Metropolitan Earthquake Preparedness'

Earth Infinity Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President and CEO: Koichi Hamada) announces the significant reinforcement of its production system for the 'seismic circuit breaker (patented, Patent No. 4457379)', which has been widely promoted to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and factories, in response to the recent surge in social demand following the Japanese government's cabinet approval of the 'Basic Plan for Metropolitan Earthquake Preparedness' and related media coverage (e.g., NHK). This initiative aims to contribute to building a sustainable society and enhancing regional disaster resilience.

The government recently approved the 'Basic Plan for Metropolitan Earthquake Preparedness' in a cabinet meeting, aiming to reduce fatalities from a direct-hit earthquake in the capital region by more than half over the next decade. For the first time, the plan explicitly sets a target for the widespread installation of 'seismic circuit breakers' in the affected areas as a key measure to reduce fire-related deaths by 70%.

1. Social Background and Our Mission

With the cabinet approval of the government's 'Basic Plan for Metropolitan Earthquake Preparedness', the installation of seismic circuit breakers to prevent 'electrified fire'—a secondary disaster during earthquakes—is now being promoted as a national policy. As a company providing energy services and disaster prevention solutions, Earth Infinity recognizes it as a critical mission to promptly respond to this societal demand.

2. Our Solution to Overcome Barriers to Adoption

To address challenges hindering adoption—namely 'cost burden' and 'installation complexity'—our seismic circuit breaker integrates patented technology (Patent No. 4457379) that reduces basic electricity charges. This enables SMEs to implement disaster prevention measures with reduced economic burden. Additionally, through a robust nationwide network of sales agents, we provide end-to-end support from installation to operation.

3. Future Initiatives

With the establishment of this enhanced production system, we will more robustly support safe and secure business continuity (BCP) for factories, warehouses, and SMEs. While the impact on current-period performance is expected to be minimal, we believe this initiative will contribute significantly to long-term corporate value enhancement.
