Suido Kiko Aims to Contribute to Society by Creating a Smile-Filled Environment with Technology and Products, Driven by a Passion to Connect People and the Earth for 100 Years to Come

Our company endorses "April Dream," an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams.

This press release represents the dream of "Suido Kiko Kaisha, Ltd."

Suido Kiko Kaisha, Ltd. (Head Office: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Toru Furukawa), a pioneer in water infrastructure that has supported Japan's water supply for 100 years since the Taisho era, envisions a society where "safe and secure water" can be continuously supplied regardless of location, even during any disaster.

■Background of Our April Dream

In recent years, as natural disasters such as earthquakes and heavy rains intensify, water outages are one of the most threatening issues to the lives of people in affected areas. We have, until now, protected "everyday life" through the construction and maintenance of large-scale infrastructure such as water purification plants. However, every time we see people suffering from water shortages in disaster-stricken areas, we have felt a strong sense of mission to "evolve our technology to be more mobile and deliver it directly."

Our dream is to make it commonplace for people to have access to water with the same sense of security as turning on a tap, no matter where they are in Japan, even when a disaster strikes.

■Emergency Water Assistance Team: EWAT for Realizing the Dream

The key to realizing this dream is the Emergency Water Assistance Team (EWAT). EWAT conducts support activities in disaster-stricken areas with the aim of preventing water outage damage and securing emergency drinking water during disasters. Our staff, possessing various expertise in water supply, will utilize our proprietary emergency disaster water purification systems and collaborate with local governments to engage in support and recovery activities.

【Our Vision for the Future with EWAT】

From "Waiting" for Support to "Going" to Provide Support:

The moment a water outage occurs, EWAT teams deployed across Japan will immediately rush to the affected areas. This will eliminate long queues for water trucks and transform evacuation centers themselves into "water purification hubs."

Delivering High-Quality Water with 100 Years of Technology:

We will build infrastructure capable of supplying high-quality water even during disasters, leveraging our long-cultivated water purification technology.

Creating an Environment Full of Smiles:

With water, hygiene is maintained, and warm meals can be prepared. With our technology, we will deliver "smiles of reassurance" to people spending anxious nights. Several companies have expressed their agreement with EWAT's activities and have come forward to participate. By combining the strengths of each company, we hope to become an organization that can further enhance responsiveness during disasters and achieve more reliable support.

■"Passion to Connect People and the Earth for 100 Years to Come" to the Future

Suido Kiko upholds the philosophy: "With a passion to connect people and the Earth for 100 years to come, we will create an environment full of smiles through our technology and products, contributing to society."

Just as our predecessors built modern waterworks to protect people from infectious diseases, we propose a form of "uninterrupted water" for the next 100 years, addressing the contemporary challenge of "disasters." Together with municipalities and partner companies who share this dream, we will create a future free from "water anxiety."
