Karada Factory's Sports Exchange Event in Nagoya

On November 12, 2025, Karada Factory, part of Factory Japan Group, held a sports exchange event at a public gymnasium in Nagoya, aimed at fostering teamwork among its employees. Over 330 locations of the Karada Factory operate both domestically and internationally, and this event involving 18 staff members served as an opportunity to solidify bonds and camaraderie.
