Dalton's Strategic Headquarters Move to Toyosu

Dalton Co., a subsidiary of ItoKii, has announced plans to relocate its headquarters to the vibrant Toyosu district in Koto City, Tokyo, by late October 2026. This dynamic move is part of the company's strategy to spearhead innovative research and development environments. To drum up excitement for the upcoming transition, Dalton has released a teaser video that showcases its mission to co-create new value with its customers.

The video highlights the importance of maintaining creativity and innovation in research amidst an era increasingly driven by artificial intelligence and data. Dalton aims to create a research environment that not only enhances the capabilities of advanced technology but also fosters human creativity—a crucial aspect that machines cannot replicate. The company's legacy of supporting laboratories and manufacturing sites for over 85 years equips it to adapt to the changing landscape of research collaboration.

Embracing the Challenges of Modern Research

Amid the backdrop of Japan's declining population and intensifying global competition, discussions around strengthening the nation’s research capabilities are gaining traction. Organizations in research and development are recognizing the urgency of creating environments conducive to innovation and communication among cross-disciplinary teams.

In response to these societal demands, Dalton is reimagining the essence of laboratory spaces, shifting from mere physical facilities to places where creativity and productivity can flourish. By integrating the expertise of Dalton in lab design with ItoKii's knowledge of workplace construction, Dalton aspires to become a 'LAB-WORK Integrator.' This role will help envision a transformed R&D environment within Japan, intertwining research, space, work styles, and data more cohesively.

A New Hub for Innovation

The new headquarters is envisioned not just as an office but as a core base designed to bring these innovative values to life. The office will serve as a cutting-edge working showroom, providing firsthand experience of the new collaborative research and development environment that Dalton is eager to create. Scheduled for a grand opening in late January 2027, this venue aims to set a new standard for R&D spaces.

• - Occupants: Dalton Co., and Dalton Maintenance Co.
