Taiyo Group Holds Joint New Employee Training Session

Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Osaka Headquarters: Yodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Yuki Nomura;hereinafter: Taiyo Kogyo), TSP Taiyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; President: Kago Ikezawa; hereinafter: TSP Taiyo), an event consulting firm; and Actio Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; President: Fumitaka Tanano;hereinafter “Actio”) held the “Everest Training” leadership simulation for 32 new employees on Friday, April 24, 2026.

This program is based on a simulation used at Harvard Business School and is designed to provide hands-on learning about decision-making and teamwork under extreme conditions. The venue is the livedoor URBAN SPORTS PARK, in which TSP Taiyo participates and helps operate.Within the facility, the Brillia Running Stadium—which Taiyo Kogyo helped relocate and construct—serves as the “base camp.” The program is structured so that new employees, equipped with iPads, physically move around the venue while repeatedly making judgments in response to situations that change in real time.

This training is part of a talent development initiative aimed at realizing “One Taiyo,” which seeks to create value across all groups.In addition to fostering cooperation, a sense of responsibility, and discipline through organizational activities, participants gained hands-on experience with challenge, flexibility, and leadership in an environment simulating a team’s attempt to climb Mount Everest. This was designed to help them internalize the Taiyo Group’s core behavioral principles: “the power to see things through” and “co-creation.”

The Taiyo Group is a corporate group consisting of three companies: Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd., TSP Taiyo Co., Ltd., and Actio Co., Ltd. Founded in 1922 as Nomura Tent Shokai, the company has been bringing unique products to market that leverage the characteristics of “membrane” materials, driven by the desire to “contribute to society in any way we can and bring inspiration to as many people as possible.”The group was involved in the construction and operation of large-scale pavilions at the 1970 Osaka World Exposition, and its current structure took shape as the business expanded thereafter. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022, the group is now working to enhance synergies among its three companies while exploring the possibilities of membranes, spaces, and experiences, with the goal of “Making the world more flexible.A Warm Future.”
Additionally, for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai World Expo, the entire group was involved in the design, construction, and operation of approximately 30 facilities.

Taiyo Kogyo is a leading company in the field of large-scale membrane structures, with a history spanning over 100 years. At the 1970 Japan World Exposition, the company achieved the world’s first low-rise (height-restricted) pneumatic membrane structure—one that supported the roof using only air pressure—for the U.S. Pavilion.Since then, the company has participated in large-scale projects around the world, including the installation of the membrane roof at the Tokyo Dome and the Millennium Dome in London (now known as The O2 Arena), one of the world’s largest dome structures.With membrane structure technology—which excels in cost-effectiveness, constructability, light transmission, and design—at the core of our business, we have expanded our operations from architectural projects such as sports and transportation facilities into the fields of civil engineering, logistics, and the environment, thereby supporting the safety and security of society.
