Notice of Participation in "BAMBOO EXPO 21" on May 15 (Wednesday) and May 16 (Thursday), 2024.

Yamato Tsukibita, known for its numerous notable architectural projects, has announced its original brand "FORESTERIOR."

Daiwa Tsukiban Industry was founded in 1967 in Hiroshima Prefecture. We handle everything from veneer processing to painting processes in-house, manufacturing and selling natural wood decorative plywood, fireproof materials, custom materials, and various painted products for architectural interiors. We are a manufacturer boasting one of the top production volumes in Japan for custom veneer decorative panels. We have turned our attention to the "scraps" and unused materials generated during the production of veneer products, with the desire to upcycle these scraps and unused materials to contribute to a sustainable future, and to allow many people to feel the warmth of real wood. This led to the establishment of our upcycling brand "FORESTERIOR," which combines the technical skills of Daiwa Tsukiban Industry with the sensibilities of space designers and graphic designers. To give new value to veneer, we pondered how to achieve a sustainable future alongside veneer, and the answer we arrived at was upcycling through design. We introduce products that maximize the use of natural resources without waste, breathing life and individuality into each piece of scrap. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us directly.*

We are pleased to announce that Gywood has been recommended as a featured building material in the special project "Recommended Building Materials" at the Housing Business Fair within the comprehensive exhibition for housing, architecture, and real estate [BREX Kansai]. We will be exhibiting in the "Recommended Building Materials and Equipment" zone, where professionals from the field gather to showcase their recommended materials. We invite everyone to stop by and visit us.

Seminar Overview As the labor shortage in manufacturing sites becomes more severe, the labor costs and time losses associated with the "transportation" of products and components, as well as "cleaning" within factories, have become critical management issues that cannot be overlooked. In this webinar, we will introduce the latest use cases of "Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)" and "Commercial Cleaning Robots" that achieve productivity improvements in manufacturing environments. We will specifically address questions such as "How are other companies operating these technologies?" and "What kind of cost reduction effects can be expected after implementation?" by providing concrete explanations of actual before-and-after scenarios and operational flows. Factory managers and members of production technology and DX promotion departments who want to advance automation and efficiency on-site are encouraged to participate! Recommended for: - Those who are unsure about where to start with automation, labor reduction, and DX in their factories. - Those who want to alleviate labor shortages on-site and focus resources on core operations to improve productivity. - Those who want to stay updated on the latest trends in the use of transportation robots (AMR) and cleaning robots.
