New Assist Suit Museum Set to Debut in Tokyo
In an exciting development for the labor sector, Daiya Kogyo Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of medical supplies, is set to unveil the Assist Suit Museum Tokyo at the TOC Building in Nishigotanda, Shinagawa, on September 1, 2025. This will be the second such facility following the successful launch of the Assist Suit Museum in Okayama Prefecture in September 2024.
Background and Objectives for the Museum
With an aging population and increasing labor shortages in society, the demand for assist suits has surged as tools that help reduce the burden of physical work and enhance workplace safety. However, companies often find it challenging to choose the right assist suit that meets their specific needs due to the wide variety of products available. Hence, a space where they can try on and experience these suits firsthand has become imperative.
Since the opening of the Okayama museum, which has welcomed over 1,200 visitors and representatives from 348 companies, there has been a growing demand from potential customers in the Tokyo area. Many expressed, “It's too far to travel to Okayama,” and “We need a convenient place to test assist suits in East Japan.” In response to this strong demand and the expectations surrounding assist suits, Daiya Kogyo decided to establish the new facility in Tokyo.
The museum will serve as a specialized venue where companies in the metropolitan area can not only see and touch a variety of assist suits but also physically experience their functionality. By allowing businesses to verify the comfort and effectiveness of these suits, Daiya Kogyo aims to facilitate the adoption of assist suits across various industries.
What the Assist Suit Museum Tokyo Will Offer
Diverse Assist Suit Experiences
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience a range of assist suits from domestic manufacturers. By allowing simultaneous comparisons of multiple products, attendees can find an assist suit that perfectly fits their company’s needs.
Consultations with Expert Staff
The museum will have knowledgeable staff on hand to provide tailored recommendations based on the specific needs of companies considering product adoption. Their expertise will help businesses navigate the options available and ensure they make informed decisions.
