Creating a workplace that beats the heat starting from 50 yen. NKW offers vending machines for corporate heatstroke prevention, available again this year from July to September

Following last year's successful initiative, sports drinks will be sold for 50 yen during a limited 3-month period from July to September

NKW Co., Ltd. of the Sanpuku Group (headquartered in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture) will once again implement, in 2026, a summer-limited program for corporate clients. From July through September, the company will offer the sports drink "Cherio Safe Guard" at a special price of 50 yen per bottle exclusively to client companies where vending machines are installed.

In recent years, extremely hot days have become more frequent, and heatstroke-related health issues have become a societal concern both outdoors and indoors. In June last year, heatstroke prevention measures became mandatory for businesses under certain conditions, making employee health management more important than ever.

At NKW, we view vending machines not merely as beverage dispensers, but as "infrastructure for protecting employee health," and will continue supporting companies in their heatstroke prevention efforts.

Now, amid rising prices, welfare initiatives that benefit both companies and employees

With beverage prices continuing to rise, companies face the challenge of balancing employee welfare improvements with cost control.

NKW launched this initiative with the aim of supporting client companies to create an environment where employees can easily replenish fluids and electrolytes, while minimizing financial burden on the companies.

By offering a significantly lower price of 50 yen—much more affordable than usual—we provide the following benefits:

• Encouraging regular hydration even on hot days • Enhancing employee satisfaction through improved welfare benefits • Supporting corporate heatstroke prevention initiatives

This program is recommended for companies that "want to protect employee health," "wish to enhance employee welfare," or "aim to minimize costs."
