Installation Workand Construction

Industrial and building materials do not function as is and the installation work and construction arerequired in order for them to deliver performance.
Daiken not only sells products, such as industrial and building materials, but is engaged in theinstallation work, construction, and creation of spaces in the three domains of interior projects foroffice buildings and public facilities, home renovation work, and apartment renovation by cooperatingwith the group companies engaged in the installation work and construction.
By consistently engaging in the industrial and building materials located in the upstream part as wellas the installation work and construction to create spaces, our entire value chain can provide value.
We link the needs obtained in the installation work and construction sites with the development oflabor-friendly type products and techniques.

By utilizing industrial materials that made use of timber, which is a renewable resource, and sustainable resources, such as volcanic ash as an
unused resource, the Daiken Group has the capabilities to create a new standard with our products having the functions that make the spaces
where people spend their daily lives safe, secure, healthy, and comfortable.
With the technology cultivated in special plywood, which is the business at the time of the establishment of the company, we developed
industrial materials that made use of wood and mineral resources and by using these industrial materials as base materials, we have been
expanding into the deployment of building materials with increased added value.
These product deployment capabilities have become our response capabilities, leading to the sustainability of our business.

Basematerials●●Daiken Corporation was founded soon after the war with an eye toward theeffective use of timber as precious resources and the contribution to society
through postwar reconstruction.
We conduct research and development based on the two ideas of (1)overcoming weaknesses and extracting the beauty of timber and (2) using
timber with zero waste as the technology to effectively use timber.
As the expansion of applications to something other than timber, we have also
proceeded with the technologicaldevelopment to apply technology tohandle wood fibers and utilize unused
mineral resources.
Furthermore, as the field to make use ofmaterials and technologies we havecreated, we have been expanding theapplications above into research anddevelopment to pursue spaces wherepeople can spend the time safely,
securely, healthfully, and comfortably.
