Certification as a "DX-Certified Operator" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

On December 1, GIKEN LTD. (Head Office: Kochi-shi; President and CEO: Atsushi Ohira) was certified as a "DX-certified operator" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry due to its active engagement in Digital Transformation (DX).

Since our founding as a company devoted to controlling construction pollution, we have developed a series of new machinery, construction methods, and structures to solve social issues that arise with the changing of the times, centred around our "press-in technologies." We have revolutionised the old construction industry, and have been working on a "Construction Revolution" that contributes to the realisation of a new, sustainable society. Now, we are entering into the "Digital Revolution" phase, where digital technologies are used to maximise the superiority of the press-in technology, to speed up problem-solving by creating new value, and to expand the range of fields we are active in. We have formulated and announced our digital vision, digital strategy, and specific measures to realise these, and are making efforts in this area. Therefore, the company was recognised as being ready to digitally transform its own business (DX-Ready), and obtained the DX-certified operator certification.

Propelled by this certification, we will continue to drive the digital revolution with a sense of speed, aiming to increase our corporate value, grow the company sustainably, and realise a sustainable society.
