Growit Corporation Eyes Expansion in Kagoshima City

Growit Corporation, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Osaka, has made a significant move by signing a location agreement with Kagoshima City on February 5, 2026. This strategic expansion aims to enhance their presence in the Kyushu region, which has been experiencing increased demand for IT services within the retail and wholesale sectors, as well as restaurants. The new office, located on the fourth floor of Koana Tenmonkan at 7-1 Nakamachi, Kagoshima City, is set to commence operations in April 2026.

The company's immediate goal is to hire five local employees within the first year of opening, eventually increasing the workforce to around twenty in five years. This reflects the company’s commitment to local job creation and talent development. The presence of several vocational schools offering IT-related programs in the area presents a valuable opportunity for Growit to tap into a motivated talent pool eager to work within their home region.

Historically, Growit has been an integral component of the Ohnishi Group, which has been providing IT support to its various sectors for over 90 years. The company's emphasis has always been on advancing digital transformation within various businesses through robust IT solutions and system development. With a firm foundation laid in Osaka, Tokyo, and Saga, the expansion to Kagoshima will further enhance their capabilities, providing quality support and systems to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs.

The need for new IT talent and effective human resource management has been highlighted as one of the critical challenges the company intends to address. The growth of IT-related projects in the Kyushu region has led to heightened demand for skilled professionals, and Kagoshima offers an environment conducive to stable hiring and retention. Access to public transportation, such as the Kyushu Shinkansen and air routes, will further facilitate collaboration with their existing offices in Saga, strengthening their business continuity plans (BCP).

The establishment of the Kagoshima office is viewed not just as a business expansion, but as a means to contribute to regional revitalization. According to Hiroshi Onishi, the CEO of Growit Corporation, the decision was influenced by the abundance of young, ambitious individuals in Kagoshima, who are keen to pursue careers in IT. The city also offers significant corporate location support, making it an ideal setting for developing local talent.

In its new office, Growit will focus on providing comprehensive IT solutions for SMEs, especially in developing operational systems and cloud solutions aimed at improving business efficiencies and promoting digital transformation. The company aims to be a catalyst for growth and employment in the region, ensuring that they develop an ecosystem that nurtures local talent and helps businesses thrive.
