[Business Alliance] Asahi Shokai and Frontier Consulting Collaborate on Office Construction Support in Gunma Prefecture

Asahi Shokai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazunari Hirose; hereinafter “Asahi Shokai”), which supports the creation of working environments for companies and government agencies primarily in Gunma Prefecture through office furniture, IT infrastructure, and space creation, has formed a business alliance with Frontier Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Kuniaki Kawahara; hereinafter “Frontier Consulting”), which handles office consulting, planning, and design, with the aim of strengthening office construction support within Gunma Prefecture.

Through this alliance, Asahi Shokai's long-cultivated community-based customer base will be combined with Frontier Consulting's office design and project management capabilities to provide comprehensive solutions for new office construction, relocation, and renovation to companies and government agencies within Gunma Prefecture.

■ Background and Purpose of the Business Alliance

In recent years, against the backdrop of diversifying work styles and increasing interest in human capital management, local governments and regional companies are also showing growing interest in improving office environments to secure talent and enhance productivity.

Asahi Shokai has, until now, provided proposals centered on office furniture and IT infrastructure to companies and government agencies within Gunma Prefecture through community-rooted sales activities. However, for large-scale office projects, advanced spatial design, and projects involving complex process management, which have been increasing in recent years, strengthening a more specialized system has been a challenge.

Frontier Consulting is an office consulting firm with extensive experience both domestically and internationally, covering everything from planning and design to project management. By combining their design capabilities and proven PM track record with Asahi Shokai's regional network, they will establish a system capable of providing office construction support of metropolitan area standards to companies and government agencies within Gunma Prefecture.

■ Value Provided by the Collaboration

Through this alliance, both companies will jointly provide the following services:

• Advanced Concept Development and Design
  We will provide creative and sophisticated office designs based on work style analysis to solve corporate management challenges, going beyond mere furniture arrangement.

• Management Support for Large-Scale Projects
  For new office construction, large-scale relocations, and renovations, we will utilize Frontier Consulting's PM know-how to achieve high-quality project execution, from design and construction management to cost control.

• High-Value Office Proposals for Companies and Government Agencies in Gunma Prefecture
  Leveraging Asahi Shokai's community-based sales foundation, we will propose and implement high-value office environments that support diverse work styles, DX promotion, and human capital management for companies and government agencies in Gunma Prefecture.

■ Future Outlook

Through this alliance, both companies will support the advancement of working environments for companies and local governments in Gunma Prefecture and contribute to the revitalization of the regional economy. Moving forward, we will promote joint proposal activities targeting major companies and public organizations within Gunma Prefecture.
