To celebrate the completion of our new head office and research buildings, we held a “commemoration ceremony and a gala dinner to celebrate the completeion of head office and research buildings” on June 4, 2016. On the day, under the sunny weather, Mr. Takayuki Ishimori Mayor of Hachioji City, Mr. Ryuichiro Tanabe of the Hachioji City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, various professors from various universities in Japan who collaborate with us, attended the event. In addition, we also had international guests from from Beijing University Hospital and Zhejiang University (China), Soka University of America (USA), the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and Mahameru International Medical Center (Malaysia).

We invited the guests to visit the new head office and research building, and then we changed the venue to Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji for a gala dinner.
We received a lot of congratulary notes from our guest, thank you notes for the activities of our company’s president, Watanabe, and encouragements for our future activities. We extend our gratitude to our honored guests who celebrated this occassion with us during their busy schedules.
The completed head office and research buildings represent the approaching global era and our preparation to open up the future.
