Sukedachi Establishes 'Osaka Branch' to Accelerate Resolution of Construction Industry Labor Shortage in Kansai Region

Sukedachi Co., Ltd. (Location: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter, "the Company"), which operates "Sukedachi," one of Japan's largest construction human resource matching platforms boasting over 220,000 registered businesses, is pleased to announce the establishment of its new "Osaka Branch" on April 24, 2026, to further accelerate the resolution of labor shortages for construction companies in the Kansai area.

Background and Purpose of Establishing Osaka Branch

The construction industry nationwide is facing a chronic and serious labor shortage. To realize its mission of "Making construction sites attractive workplaces," the Company has been supporting talent acquisition by matching construction companies with skilled workers and facilitating full-time employment nationwide. Matching in the construction industry is closely tied to the culture and characteristics of the area where the work takes place, and the network of partner companies is also deeply rooted locally. The Company believes that to fundamentally solve future challenges, a system that can more deeply understand the regional background and business culture is indispensable.

Among these regions, the Kansai area plays a central role in the construction industry, with many of Japan's leading general contractors and sub-contractors headquartered there. Furthermore, after the 2025 Osaka Expo, infrastructure redevelopment and urban development will fully commence from 2026, and a further expansion of construction demand is expected. Therefore, the Company has positioned this area as its most important base and has decided to establish the Osaka Branch.

Main Values Provided by the Osaka Branch

With the establishment of the Osaka Branch, in addition to online-centric matching support through its app, Sukedachi aims to provide the following values to businesses and skilled workers in the Kansai area, thereby solving labor shortage issues and revitalizing the local construction community.

1. Revitalization of the community through exchange meetings and seminars

We have received numerous requests from customers in the Kansai area to hold offline exchange meetings, which have been well-received in the past. Moving forward, based in the Osaka Branch, we will regularly hold exchange meetings, recruitment, and training seminars more frequently. By continuously creating real venues where local construction companies and skilled workers can meet directly and exchange information, we will contribute to the revitalization of the Kansai area's construction community.

2. Support for localized service introduction

In addition to the convenience of online services, we will strengthen our face-to-face support system, leveraging geographical proximity. By listening to real local voices, directly adapting to the unique business culture of Kansai, and deepening mutual understanding through dialogue, we will provide detailed service introduction support aimed at solving challenges such as difficulties in recruitment and finding partner companies.

Comment from Yuta Otsuka, General Manager of Osaka Branch

The Osaka/Kansai area is a crucial region where construction demand is expected to expand further through redevelopment, including IR, and renewal of urban functions, even after the 2025 Expo. In Kansai, it is deeply significant for Sukedachi to open its first branch outside of its headquarters.

To address the labor shortage in the construction industry, guided by our mission of "Making construction sites attractive workplaces," it is essential not only to offer the convenience of online services but also to deeply understand the business practices and human connections unique to each region, and the specific challenges faced by each business. The Osaka Branch will support businesses in the Kansai area in a more locally rooted manner.

Furthermore, through the initiatives of the Osaka Branch, we will expand the scope of support in Kansai by deepening collaboration with local financial institutions and other community-based companies and organizations. Starting from this Osaka Branch, we will strive to further advance the resolution of labor shortages in the Kansai construction industry and contribute to regional development, with an eye towards future nationwide expansion.
