Fukushima Galilei Sponsors 2025 All Japan Junior Tennis Championships

Fukushima Galilei Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, Japan, has announced its sponsorship of the 2025 All Japan Junior Tennis Championships, set to take place at Ariake Tennis Park in Tokyo. This marks the third consecutive year that Fukushima Galilei has supported this prestigious event, which is crucial for young athletes competing in the U12 to U18 categories, as well as the wheelchair tennis division.

Key Initiatives

During the tournament, which is expected to face sweltering heat in August, Fukushima Galilei will implement several measures to ensure the safety and comfort of the players. Utilizing rapid freezing storage facilities for cooling agents and high-efficiency ice-making machines, the company aims to help mitigate heat stress among participants. Furthermore, the company’s staff will provide operational support throughout the event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The All Japan Junior Tennis Championships serves as the pinnacle of competition for young talents, offering them a platform to showcase their skills. Following the guidelines established by the Japan Tennis Association, specific measures for heatstroke prevention will be adhered to during this event. These efforts are vital as young athletes have previously faced health challenges due to extreme temperatures in summer tournaments.

Innovation in Cooling Solutions

Since initiating its women's corporate tennis team in 2017, Fukushima Galilei has made strides in addressing heat stress concerns. The company has collaborated with the Japan Tennis Association to implement innovative heat management strategies. They have introduced state-of-the-art cooling systems, such as ice baths that regulate temperature effectively and a pioneering single-phase 100V rapid freezing unit for cooling agents, which rapidly freezes ice slurries for immediate athlete use. This advancement ensures that players receive timely access to cooling resources when needed.

In 2025, the company will also debut a new tank-style chip ice maker, which simplifies ice production without the need for complex water supply systems. This user-friendly device facilitates ice creation in settings previously unfit for traditional commercial ice machines, expanding possibilities in various venues including gyms and events.

Community Impact

Fukushima Galilei's commitment to this tournament goes beyond just providing products. Employees, including tennis team members, will actively support the event's logistics, ensuring it maintains a high standard of safety and organization. The company sees this collaboration as part of its broader mission to contribute positively to local communities through sports promotion and innovative cooling solutions.
