We will be exhibiting at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas. We developed this product jointly with Tagawa Sangyo, a plaster manufacturer, and Shikada Sangyo, a manufacturer of interior materials specializing in natural materials, both of which are also active in Fukuoka Prefecture.

If you are planning to visit the exhibition, please stop by our booth!
