Aika Industrial Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Kenji Ebihara, Headquarters: Nakamura Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) has received the "2024 Good Design Award" organized by the Japan Design Promotion Association for its sealing material "Antibacterial and Mold-resistant Modified Silicone Matte Type." Additionally, this is the first time one of our products has been selected for the "Good Design Best 100," which recognizes only 100 entries that are particularly outstanding among the Good Design Awards.

Inviting Ryuu Kosaka, Takuto Yamamichi, Hirokazu Suemitsu, Takaharu Tezuka, Tatehisa Nishizawa, and Jun Mitsui, the "Aica Design Seminar 2024" will be held in six cities nationwide. A report on the Milan Salone and a new product presentation will be held simultaneously. The Aica Design Seminar is a cultural activity that invites architects and designers active both domestically and internationally as lecturers to give talks across a wide range of fields including architecture, environment, and design. Since its inception in 2004, it has aimed to contribute to the improvement and development of architectural culture, and its events held in regional cities with few opportunities for lectures have been well received. Additionally, the "Milan Salone Report" will be held simultaneously. Our company has been researching the Milan Salone International Furniture Fair and Fuorisalone for about 20 years. We will introduce this year's design trends and the latest developments in surfaces and materials from our unique perspective as a material manufacturer, incorporating local insights. The Milan Salone Report is also planned to be held separately in other areas. Furthermore, at five venues in Sapporo, Sendai, Niigata, Nagoya, and Hiroshima, we will also hold a new product presentation using the exhibition booths from "JAPAN SHOP 2024," the largest comprehensive store exhibition in Japan, which was held at Tokyo Big Sight in March.
