On May 25, 2026, the Asahi Shimbun Publishing's "AERA" featured a corner titled "God of the Workplace," where our CEO, Kengo Fujii, was introduced. He discussed the inspiration behind the development of the simple flood barrier "Flood Guard F," his passion for manufacturing, and our current efforts in disaster prevention. The article highlights the thoughts and intentions behind our company's business and products, so please take a look.

We delivered Flood Guard F to Shinagawa Ward's 2nd Nobeyama Elementary School in Tokyo. Concerns were raised not only about damage to classrooms and hallways but also to electrical equipment and supplies, as well as a potential decline in functionality as an evacuation center, necessitating enhanced preemptive measures. In this context, Flood Guard was introduced due to its easy installation without tools, quick setup time, and user-friendly operation that can be managed by teaching staff, making it suitable for incorporation into daily educational activities and disaster prevention training. It contributes to ensuring the safety of students and maintaining the functionality of the facility.

Recently, the simple flood barrier "Flood Guard" was featured on the NTV NEWS24 program. With the approach of a typhoon and an increase in disaster prevention awareness, inquiries are rising not only from municipalities and businesses but also from individuals.

On August 28 (Wednesday), the simple flood barrier "Flood Guard" was broadcasted on MBS Mainichi Broadcasting. This typhoon was very slow-moving and large. We received many inquiries from viewers wanting to quickly install the Flood Guard before the typhoon arrived. Thank you very much. At Fuji Kogyo Co., Ltd., professional agents will always conduct a site survey before proposing the optimal number of units. It is meaningless if even a little water leaks. We will do our best to help reduce flood damage and support the safe and secure lives of as many people as possible.

The other day, on August 28 (Wednesday), Yomiuri Television's "Kansai Information Network ten" featured the simple flood barrier, Flood Guard. We introduced the Flood Guard used by Yubiron Fact Co., Ltd. The broadcast clearly explained the water-stopping performance of the Flood Guard. By using not only the flood barrier but also sandbags together, flood damage can be further reduced.

The other day, on August 23rd (Friday), the Asahi TV program "Good! Morning" featured the Fujikogyo Co., Ltd. simple type water stop board 'Flood Guard F'. The broadcast aired as a typhoon was approaching, leading to a surge of inquiries from many viewers.

Our representative, Fujii, visited the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in the Philippines and had a discussion about disaster prevention with Director Ariel. He mentioned that, like Japan, the Philippines suffers from many flood-related damages, and that measures to mitigate flood damage should be addressed promptly. We will continue to exchange opinions and work towards reducing flood damage in both countries.

Fujikogyo Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has joined the "Disaster Prevention Consortium CORE," which is composed of a diverse range of companies and organizations across various industries. Our product, the simple type water stop board "Flood Guard F," is characterized by its ability to reduce flooding damage simply by being placed without the need for prior construction, and it has a proven track record of use in many municipalities, companies, and hospitals. By joining the consortium, we will promote the establishment of collaborative systems necessary for cooperation with national and local governments, and we will work to enhance the implementation of measures related to the four elements of disaster prevention and reduction (understanding the current situation, implementing countermeasures, evacuation, and rebuilding lives), thereby contributing to the creation of a resilient society that can withstand disasters.

We are pleased to announce that our product, the Simple Water Stop Board Flood Guard F, model FZ50, has been selected for the "2023 Good Design Award" organized by the Japan Design Promotion Association. The "Good Design Award" is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and recommendation initiative that inherits the "Good Design Product Selection System" (commonly known as the G-Mark system), established by the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1957. Its purpose is not merely to compete for the beauty of objects but to discover and widely communicate designs that enhance industrial development and the quality of life across various fields. The FZ50 was awarded not only for its functionality but also for its design appeal among numerous submitted products. Evaluation comments from the judges: The damage caused by floods is becoming increasingly serious day by day. In low-lying urban areas, rainwater rushes in all at once, entering underground spaces and interiors, causing significant damage. Traditionally, attempts to prevent flooding have been made using sandbags, but they have not shown significant effectiveness. This design is structurally durable and stable, and its easy connectivity allows for efficient blocking of rainwater. It is a timely design that is much needed.

Fujikogyo Co., Ltd. (President: Kengo Fujii) is pleased to announce that our simple water stop board, "Flood Guard F," has been selected for the "Kansai Manufacturing Selection 2023," which was announced by the Kinki Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry on January 19 (Thursday). The "Kansai Manufacturing Selection" is an initiative to support the business expansion of products and technologies developed independently by small and medium-sized enterprises in the Kansai region. Products and technologies developed by these companies, as well as the business models utilizing them, are evaluated by a selection committee composed of experts. As a result, particularly "excellent" and "marketable" products and technologies, as well as "new" and "profitable" business models, are selected as part of the "Kansai Manufacturing Selection." The Flood Guard F was proudly selected from numerous applicants in the field of "disaster prevention and security."

The commercial for Flood Guard F will be aired every Tuesday at 17:55 on the program "Weekly Feeling! PV" before the San TV Tuesday Night Game.

[Radio King] From October 7 for 4 weeks, Thursdays from 17:50 to 17:54 We will discuss the necessity of stop boards and the background of their development.
