AMCO Partners with ID UNITED ARROWS for New Uniforms Reflecting Worker Voices

AMCO and ID UNITED ARROWS: The Voice of Workers in Uniform Design

Introduction

The partnership between AMCO and ID UNITED ARROWS marks a significant step forward in creating uniforms that not only serve the functional needs of airport maintenance staff but also embody the spirit of the company. As AMCO approaches its 40th anniversary in 2025, the desire for a refreshed uniform that reflects both employee input and corporate evolution has taken center stage.

The Project Background

AMCO, a key player in maintaining the infrastructure of Narita Airport, has long been committed to ensuring the safety and stability of airport operations. Recognizing the importance of staff pride in representing the company, the new uniforms are designed to be the “face” of the organization. ID UNITED ARROWS, a division under United Arrows Ltd., was enlisted to develop a line of uniforms that harmonizes design and functionality without compromising on the identity and values of AMCO.

Through collaboration with UNIX TOKYO Co., Ltd., the new line consists of seven thoughtfully designed items, focusing on comfort and aesthetic appeal to enhance both worker motivation and corporate branding.

Overview of the New Uniform Line

The new uniform collection features a total of seven items: a blouson, pants, vests, shirts, polo shirts, cold-weather blousons, and cold-weather pants. Each piece is designed in a unisex format, making it suitable for individuals of any age or gender. The collection leverages a refined silhouette enriched with AMCO’s distinctive details.

1. Blouson: The standout piece of the uniform, this stylish blouson comes in a sophisticated khaki gray. It incorporates pockets inspired by aircraft wings, seamlessly blending into the operations at the airport while maintaining a high level of functionality with its sophisticated materials.

2. Pants: Constructed from the same durable fabric as the blouson, these pants feature flap pockets reminiscent of aircraft wings and are designed for both safety and practicality through the incorporation of side pockets.

3. Vest: This utility vest transitions easily between indoor and outdoor settings. It uses temperature-regulating materials and includes a unique diamond pattern, ensuring comfort and style.

4. Shirt: Dyed in a refreshing ice gray, this shirt conveys a sense of integrity and freshness, enhanced by elbow tucks that expand mobility while maintaining a stylish appeal.

5. Polo Shirt: Newly introduced into the collection, this summer-friendly polo shirt combines mélange gray fabric with a color-coordinated zipper, proving both stylish and stretchy for optimal comfort.

6. Cold-Weather Blouson: Designed for visibility and lightweight warmth, this blouson allows for helmet-wearing compatibility and introduces modern aesthetics while safeguarding against wind.

7. Cold-Weather Pants: These versatile pants can be layered over regular trousers and maintain warmth and comfort without sacrificing ease of movement.

Commitment to Sustainability

AMCO and ID UNITED ARROWS have taken steps towards sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials into some of the uniform pieces. The EarthInc® Recycling System enables effective resource recovery after use, significantly minimizing environmental impact and contributing to the creation of sustainable uniforms.

Conclusion

Going forward, ID UNITED ARROWS is dedicated to listening to the voices of workers and expressing corporate values through thoughtful uniform design across various sectors and industries.
