Business Description
Daiwa House Industry was founded in 1955 on the basis of a corporate philosophy of contributing to the “industrialization of construction.” In the 61 years since then, the company has expanded across a wide field of operations, including the construction of single-family houses, rental housing, condominiums, commercial facilities, and general business-use buildings.
Background
Just after the end of World War II, Nobuo Ishibashi founded Daiwa House Industry with the goal of contributing to the development of Japanese society. He conceived the idea of “industrializing” construction, and came up with the concept of using steel pipes for the structural framework of a house.
Daiwa House Industry started off as a very small enterprise, but subsequently grew strongly thanks to Mr Ishibashi’s refusal to accept conventional approaches, as well as the warm-hearted way in which he nurtured the company’s employees to bring out their full potential, and his uncompromising pursuit of his long-held dreams for the future.
The group now has a wealth of experience in a variety of segments in the market, ranging from single-family housing, rental property, commercial facilities, and condominiums to the energy and environment businesses.
The phrase that characterizes and highlights their long-term vision is “Asu Fukaketsuno” (“indispensable for tomorrow”) which emphasizes their focus on safety/comfort, speed, welfare, the environment, health, information communication technology, and agriculture.
