A Stand Against Heat: Japan Sigmax at the 12th Tokyo Heat Countermeasure Exhibition

As temperatures rise across Japan, heat-related health issues become an increasingly pressing concern. To address this, Japan Sigmax Co., Ltd., known for its MIEDIAID brand, will showcase its latest innovations at the upcoming 12th Tokyo Heat Countermeasure Exhibition. The event is set to take place from July 15 to 17, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, where visitors can experience the new Peltier cooling technology firsthand.

New Innovations: Ice Gear Best2 and Cooling Pads

Japan Sigmax will feature their advanced Peltier cooling garment, Ice Gear Best2, alongside the newly launched cooling pads, specifically designed to enhance performance. Demonstrations will allow attendees to try on the garments and experience the innovative cooling effects that a broader cooling area offers.

The Ice Gear Best2 was developed with the intent of combating the increasing heat stress in various work environments, particularly manufacturing. The company has received positive reviews regarding its cooling efficiency and comfort of wear. Recognizing the demand for more extensive cooling capabilities, they expanded the cooling area of the new cooling pads significantly.

Responding to Real Needs

In addition to showcasing the products at the exhibition, Japan Sigmax aims to provide a space where attendees can feel the cooling performance in action. The new cooling pads circulate chilled water from the chest to the back area, offering users a widespread cooling sensation.

“This new pad is not only lighter than its predecessor but also provides a refreshing cooling experience from the chest down,” remarked one enthusiastic visitor at a previous exhibition.

The Urgent Need for Heat Safety in the Workplace

With a rising trend in heatstroke-related emergencies, the need for effective preventive measures in workplaces has never been more crucial. From June 1, 2025, employers will be mandated to implement heatstroke prevention measures under revised labor safety and health regulations. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guidelines further urge all workplaces to proactively adopt heat prevention strategies (source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare).

Despite these measures, the upcoming statistics paint a grim picture: in 2025, an alarming 1,803 workers were reported as casualties of heat-related incidents, marking the highest recorded number to date. This increase is particularly notable in industries with high-risk heat exposure, such as manufacturing and construction.
