Kawada Group Accelerates New Stage Challenges with KAWADA Brand Statement and Brand Logo

Kawada Technologies Corporation (TSE Prime 3443, President: Tadahiro Kawada), the holding company of the Kawada Group, will strengthen the brand communication power of the entire group to accelerate business development beyond "KAWADA VISION 2030."

Positioning fiscal year 2026 as the "Communication Power Enhancement Year," we have established a brand statement and the KAWADA brand logo under the brand enhancement slogan, "What shall we challenge next?" This will enable the Kawada Group to communicate its diverse business activities with a unified message.

KAWADA Brand Statement

Since its founding as "Kawada Iron Works" over 100 years ago,

the Kawada Group has continuously supported social infrastructure.

Inheriting the founding spirit of "Originality and Independence," and continuously taking on all kinds of difficult challenges,

we have expanded our business into diverse fields such as bridges, steel structures, architecture, civil engineering, ICT, aviation, and robotics.

Our group philosophy is "Creating a safe and comfortable living environment."

We pursue "safety" and "comfort" that change with the times,

and each group company continuously updates its definition while advancing its business.

The foundation supporting this is unwavering "technology."

We combine the technologies and businesses that each group company has independently evolved,

dynamically accelerating "Construction DX" in manufacturing and on-site infrastructure construction.

In particular, the fusion of "Construction" x "Robotics" is a unique KAWADA technology,

and by combining this with AI, we will further strengthen and advance our challenges to a new stage.

As a declaration of our commitment to this challenge,

the Kawada Group has established a new "brand logo."

Based on the universal "KAWADA" as a Japan brand,

the design incorporates movements of "change," "deviation," and "leap."

To realize the group philosophy of "Creating a safe and comfortable living environment"

with KAWADA's technology,

we will continue to challenge ourselves.

What shall we challenge next?

---

*"What shall we challenge next?" was a slogan submitted as KAWADA's catchphrase in the 2024 "Sendenkaigi Award (Junior and Senior High School Division)" by a first-year high school student (at the time) from Miyagi Prefecture. It was adopted as KAWADA's brand enhancement slogan because it expresses the Kawada Group's history of challenges and its forward-looking attitude.

Kawada Industries Renews Work Uniforms for the First Time in Approximately 30 Years – Refreshing Functionality and Design, Unifying Corporate Image –

■ Overview

Kawada Industries completely renewed its work uniforms starting April 2026.

The previous green-based uniforms had been in use for nearly 30 years. This renewal equips the uniforms with various technologies for functionality and comfort, and the design has been refreshed to a navy base, inspired by the KAWADA brand logo.

■ Background and Purpose of Work Uniform Renewal

For the uniform renewal, a project team was formed across various bases and departments nationwide, and a company-wide survey was conducted to thoroughly identify functional requirements. Subsequently, several companies competed, and after trials and durability tests, production proceeded in collaboration with Mizuno Corporation, a well-known sports equipment manufacturer.

With this renewal, by unifying the design across Kawada Industries' three factories and construction sites nationwide, we aim to foster pride in wearing the uniform and a sense of unity as "One Team," establishing Kawada Industries' brand image as a company that "can both 'make' and 'build'."
