Kurita Industrial's KWSS™ Service: A Game Changer in the Car Wash Industry

Kurita Industries, headquartered in Nakano, Tokyo, is excited to announce that its pure water supply service, KWSS™ (Kurita Water Supply Service), is the first to be adopted by Daiwa House Parking, a subsidiary of Daiwa House Group, for its new car wash outlet, D-Wash. This innovative collaboration sets a new benchmark in the car wash industry, particularly in the way pure water services are utilized.

What is KWSS™?

KWSS™ is designed for customers who require small to medium-sized pure water systems without the burden of initial investments. It allows installations directly on the customer's property using Kurita Group's assets, providing access to pure water for a fixed monthly fee. Since its launch in 2016, KWSS™ has found significant traction in semiconductor industry factories, boasting a range of successful implementations.

Kurita Group utilizes advanced IoT technology to manage everything from day-to-day operations to maintenance, contributing to the stable operation and reduced labor efforts associated with pure water systems.

D-Wash: A New Era of Car Washing

Daiwa House Parking is revolutionizing the car wash landscape with its D-Wash brand, which aims to cater to diverse needs for both cars and motorcycles. The D-Wash service, set to launch in 2024, is responding to an increasing number of gas station closures, expanding its reach into various spaces like commercial facilities and hotels throughout the Kanto and Kansai regions. One of the standout features of D-Wash is its use of high-purity pure water, which minimizes water spots post-wash, making it particularly appealing to automotive enthusiasts.

The decision to integrate KWSS™ at D-Wash represents a strategic move to differentiate itself in the market by using high-grade pure water primarily utilized in semiconductor industries. This alignment in quality goals between Kurita’s KWSS™ and Daiwa House Parking’s D-Wash indicates a promising future for both entities.

The first D-Wash outlet, located in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, is set to open on October 1 of this year. As this pilot location launches, the plan is to gradually introduce KWSS™ across more D-Wash locations, enhancing the service quality throughout the region.

Why This Partnership Matters

The effective partnership between Kurita and Daiwa House Parking is not just about providing a service; it's about promoting sustainable business practices in the car wash industry. By implementing KWSS™, Daiwa House Parking is reducing operational costs, streamlining processes, conserving water, and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, all of which contribute to resource cycling and economic value for their customers.

This synergy between two industry leaders is a testament to their commitment to innovation and sustainability, setting an example for future collaborations within the sector.
