Japan Carrier and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters Forge New Partnership

Japan Carrier Corporation, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has entered into a partnership agreement with Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters Sports & Entertainment, headquartered in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido. This collaboration focuses on enhancing the experience at the Hokkaido Ballpark F Village, also known as Escon Field Hokkaido.

As part of the agreement, Japan Carrier will display advertisements in the light stands of the stadium, aiming to increase brand awareness and create meaningful connections with visitors. Japan Carrier is the Japanese arm of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), a global leader in providing intelligent solutions to address climate change and energy issues.

Escon Field Hokkaido serves as the home ground for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Since its grand opening in 2023, the stadium has become a beacon of innovative design and community engagement, significantly impacting the sports culture in Hokkaido. Following the team's relocation in 2023, they achieved an impressive second-place finish in the Pacific League for the 2024 season while maintaining a strong position in the league this season.

One of the standout features of Escon Field Hokkaido is its retractable roof, coupled with an exceptional natural grass playing field that thrives even in Hokkaido's harsh climate. Maintaining ideal conditions for natural grass requires precise temperature control, which Japan Carrier's advanced thermal technology effectively provides. This ensures the field remains in excellent condition throughout the year, delivering unmatched experiences for spectators and reducing physical strain on players, thus supporting high performance.

Moreover, this partnership aligns with Japan Carrier's commitment to co-create value with the local community. The Fighters' philosophy of ‘coexistence with the community and social contributions’ resonates with Japan Carrier's core values. Through their collaboration, both entities will work together to facilitate a sustainable future.

President Tohru Kubo of Japan Carrier commented on the partnership, stating, "The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters are an outstanding team that values rooted community activities and the bonds with their fans. I deeply respect and resonate with their approach as they create an innovative sports experience at Escon Field Hokkaido, which has become a futuristic landmark. Through this partnership, we will further contribute to the local community and pursue new value creation."
