Mediaid Unveils Enhanced Cooling Apparel at Manufacturing World Tokyo 2026

Japan Sigmax Corporation, the company behind the daily life support brand MEDIAID, is set to showcase its innovative cooling solutions at the 38th Manufacturing World Tokyo, held from July 1-3, 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight. The firm will exhibit at the Factory Equipment and Supplies Exhibition in South Hall 2. Among the key displays will be the Peltier-based cooling apparel, “Icing Gear Vest 2,” alongside the debut of an upgraded cooling pad named “Vest Type Cooling Pad.”

New Cooling Pad: Enhancing Coverage

This new cooling pad, which expands cooling coverage to approximately twice that of previous models, will be revealed for the first time during the event, having just launched on June 29. Mediaid’s initiative, spurred by the increasing need for heatstroke countermeasures in the workplace, aims to provide effective solutions for professionals exposed to elevated temperatures. Having introduced the Peltier-based circulating cooling wear “Icing Gear Vest 2” in 2025, Mediaid has garnered high praise from industry visitors for its performance and comfort.

The introduction of the larger cooling pad responds directly to requests for broader cooling solutions in demanding work environments. Mediaid believes that experiencing the products firsthand will demonstrate their effectiveness in combating heat stress, which is critical given the rising concern over workplace heatstroke.

Rising Cases of Heatstroke in the Workplace

In light of alarming statistics regarding heatstroke occurrences, urgent measures are required. The number of emergency transports due to heat-related illnesses has risen every year, prompting the enforcement of guidelines that mandate workplace heatstroke countermeasures with penalties, beginning June 1, 2025. Recent reports reveal there were a record 1,803 casualties, including fatalities, attributed to heatstroke in the workplace, particularly among high-risk industries like manufacturing and construction.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has also established guidelines to promote preventative measures in all workplaces. By aligning their innovation with these pressing needs, Mediaid hopes to contribute to the ongoing battle against workplace heat-related injuries.
