Somay-Q Technology Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Goka-machi, Sashima-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture; President and CEO: Sadao Hishiki) announced that on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, it concluded a naming rights agreement with Satte City, Saitama, for the Sotono Bridge, located near the famous cherry blossom spot, Gongendo Sakurazutsumi. The bridge, situated in the city's Oaza Gongendo district and crossing the Gongendo Sakurazutsumi, has been officially named 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge'.

As a company with a factory in Satte City, we will continue to collaborate with the local community to work towards the realization of a sustainable society.

The funds from the naming rights will be utilized for the maintenance and management of the facility.

Gongendo Sakurazutsumi is a representative scenic asset of the region, where about 1,000 cherry trees bloom in spring, bustling with many visitors each year. The 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' over the embankment is not only a daily route for local residents but also an important bridge for the community, used by visitors to the cherry blossom embankment.

"The fact that Sotono Bridge has gained the affectionate name 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' is profoundly significant for our city, and I am confident it will become a new regional symbol that remains in the hearts of our visitors. Naming rights are a symbolic initiative where companies and municipalities, as partners, support and nurture the future of the region together. With today's agreement as a catalyst, I hope that 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' will be cherished by many for a long time and contribute greatly to enhancing the charm of Satte City."

"I am very grateful and humbled by the generous words from Mayor Kimura. When one thinks of Satte, the cherry blossoms of Gongendo come to mind. For us, we are thrilled to have been given such an opportunity. We established our small factory in Satte in 1989. After 40 years, I am sincerely thankful for this wonderful opportunity."

■ Installing signs with the name 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' 
In time for the blooming of the Gongendo cherry blossoms, we will paint the supports of the 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' and install signs featuring the new name, using our company's products. The painting of the supports is complete. The signs will be treated with anti-rust processing and are scheduled for installation. We pray that the 'Some-Q Sakura Bridge' will be beloved by the local community and become a bridge that connects the charm of Satte City to the future, and we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through this project.
