Simple Water Stop Board "Flood Guard F" <Difference from Sandbags>

Fujikogyo Co., Ltd. (President: Kengo Fujii) is pleased to announce that our simple water stop board, "Flood Guard F," has been selected for the "Kansai Manufacturing Selection 2023," which was announced by the Kinki Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry on January 19 (Thursday). The "Kansai Manufacturing Selection" is an initiative to support the business expansion of products and technologies developed independently by small and medium-sized enterprises in the Kansai region. Products and technologies developed by these companies, as well as the business models utilizing them, are evaluated by a selection committee composed of experts. As a result, particularly "excellent" and "marketable" products and technologies, as well as "new" and "profitable" business models, are selected as part of the "Kansai Manufacturing Selection." The Flood Guard F was proudly selected from numerous applicants in the field of "disaster prevention and security."

Due to heavy rain that continued from July 16 in Henan Province, China, many areas, including the provincial capital Zhengzhou, suffered flooding damage, affecting 1.2 million people. In Henan Province, our F50 was used, and we obtained surveillance camera footage from July 22. Since it is surveillance camera footage, the images are not clear, but the roadside is flooded while the building side has not suffered water damage.

We will exhibit at the 3rd Xiamen Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Emergency Rescue Technology Equipment Exhibition held by our Chinese joint venture in Xiamen, Fujian Province. We will showcase the new Flood Guard F water stop boards: FZ50, FT50, FG50, and FS50.
