The DAIKEN group offers an extensive lineup of building materials to improve safety of a wide range of buildings
and make spaces comfortable.
With our unique idea and high technology, we develop building materials from resources such as wood and mineral,
as well as Japanese Washi paper. Various functions are added to these building materials to improve security, safety,
health and comfortability.
Not only developing materials, we also construct spaces in which the materials' functionality can be maximized.
We continue to create new products and services to meet the needs of societies, aiming to establish ourselves
as a "full-service company of building materials" which covers a wide range of buildings from housing to publicand commercial facilities.

DAIKEN History

70 years of a distinguished and successful history.

Daiken continue contributing to lifestyle innovation bycreating new value in the Building Material Industry

1945

Founded in 1945

1980
1970
High-Function Flooring Materials

1959
Ecological Materials
Developed a Marketfor High-function
Building Materials
Wood fiberboards
Released insulation boards

DAIKEN established the category of "high-functionbuilding materials" that feature workability alongwith thermal insulation, sound absorption, humidity
resistance, and other capabilities, which was not
yet familiar in Japan in those days.

1964
Ecological Materials
Fast response to theMarket Needs forNoncombustible
Materials
Released mineral fiber boards

DAIKEN responded to the needs of the times,"high-rise buildings" and "noncombustible
ma terials." Designa ted by the Ministr y ofConstruction (the current Ministr y of Land,Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) as a certified
supplier of fire prevention materials, DAIKEN
secured a nationwide market share in the year
following the product release.

1985
Total Coordination

Lead the Market ofHigh-function Flooring
Materials through WPC

Lead the Times with
Proposal on Interior
Coordination

Released WPC flooring materials

Announced a coordination plan

DAIKEN released Japan's first "WPC (Wood Plastic
Combination) flooring materials" consisting ofwood filled with plastic resin, which features boththe beauty and fine texture of wood and the highwear resistance of plastics.

DAIKEN announced a unique interior coordination
plan.

1977
Built-in Cabinets
Created Beautiful
and Comfortable
Living Space with
Built-in Cabinets
In the 1970's, there was an increasing demand fora sufficient storage space for comfort of living.
DAIKEN quickly grasped such customer demand
and released its first built-in cabinets in 1971.

1982
Sound Isolation
Penetrated into Acoustic
insulation Material toPursuit of ComfortableLiving SpaceDAIKEN released its first sound isolation product in1982 to launch a total approach to the area ofsound isolation.

1996
Ecological Materials
Advanced to the MDF
Business Based on
Developed Technologyand Experience
Released Wood fiberboards MDF

DAIKEN released medium-density wood fiberboards
made of untapped resources such as residual
pieces of timber and wood.

1996
Comfortability
Changed the Tatami Facing
Materialfrom Rushes to Washi
Paper for Industrialization
Released tatami facing products

DAIKEN succeeded in enhancing the wear, water,and stain resistance of the tatami facing materialby applying resin coating to strings ofmachine-made Japanese Washi paper.

Since the company establishment in 1945,
DAIKEN has continued to challenge the creation of new values for 70 years until now.
Throughout this period, DAIKEN has shifted the operations and developed industry-leading materials andproducts with persistence spirit of exploration to contribute to a more accurate and faster grasp of consumer needs.
With adherence to "eco-friendliness" and "improvement in the quality of living spaces," our challenges willcontinue with the "DAIKEN's own style" as a core.

Innovation Building Materials toDeliver a Comfortable Humidity inIndoor Environments

Proposed More than Barrier-free Housing

Ecological Materials

Released Bearing Surface Material Area

Released building materials for housing for the elderly

Acquired the first certificate of registration in the "humidity
conditioning building material registration/labeling system"

DAIKEN released the world's first new high-tech materials thatprovide all the characteristics demanded for bearing surface
materials, i.e., lightweight, high strength, high durability,
fireproof and fire resistance, workability, and breathability,
which had been unfeasible in conventional inorganic materials.

2003

Low Formaldehyde Emission

Fast respond to the Issue of Sick
Building Syndrome
Acquired the first F4-rank Certificate of Minister

In response to the revision of the Building Standards Act tounify the system of labeling the formaldehyde emission rate ofbuilding materials to F ranking, DAIKEN launched a revised
Building Standards Act compliance project to promotecompliance of all of its products with the revised law. Its
promptness in responding to the revised law was proven by theacquisition the "first F4-rank Certificate of Minister" in 2003.

DAIKEN acquired the first certificate of registration in the"humidity conditioning building material registration/labelingsystem" operated by the Japan Construction Material &Housing Equipment Industries Federation.

DAIKEN proposed a series of advanced building materials
developed under the keywords of security, relaxation, andhealth, which exhibit high-quality performance in avariety of scenes, from ordinary residences to nursing
homes and elderly housing with supportive services.

2008

2012

Pet Friendliness
Added Pet-friendly Features toBuilding Materials

Beauty of "WA" (Value of Sensibility)
Introduced New Values Brought by "Trees"

Released the flooring system for pet-friendly residences

Released a series of interior building materials
made of domestic tree species

To address the increasing demand for "living with pets,"
DAIKEN released the flooring system for pet-friendly
residences that provides both pet-friendly features suchas the slip-proof surface for walking dogs anduser-friendly features such as the resistance toscratching, staining, and discoloration.

DAIKEN released a series of interior building materials made ofdomestic tree species such as cedar, chestnut, and horsechestnut, familiar to Japanese because of use in furniture andliving equipment through the ages. DAIKEN proposed new values
brought by Japanese trees, such as the beauty of wood grain,tender texture, and high-quality living space created by the beautyand tenderness. DAIKEN also contributed to the regeneration offorests in Japan by utilizing domestic wood positively.

2005
Ecological Materials
Succeeded in Developing the World's
First Ecological Flooring Base Material
Developed ecological base material

DAIKEN succeeded in developing the industry's first flooringbase material that uses a combination of planted plywood
with a resin reinforced layer and, released eco-friendly
flooring materials based on that base material the next year.
This technology was enhanced further and led to thedevelopment of ecological base material that uses acombination of planted plywood with a special MDF in 2008.

4DAIKEN s "Eco ogical Materials and"High Functional Building Ma erials"
That P ay an Active Ro e in Various Area
from Residentia projects to Commercial usage.
In 1959, the DAIKEN Group launched the production of insulation
boards that feature eﬀective utilization of wood resources.
Since then, the DAIKEN Group has been developing and oﬀering eco-friendly materials
and high-function building materials that deliver high-quality living environments
for the goal of "harmony between people and the environment" until now.
