MARK THERTAPY Laboratory has the mission of offering answers to the body’s issues, and through our three businesses of bodywork/care salon treatments, product development, and training sessions, we operate under the vision of being a "partner that supports your body in all aspects.

Considering our Carbon Footprint: Developing Products that Enhance Quality of Life We have developed products aimed at improving health and comfort, including those designed to give full-on care to the neck, in addition to water pillows designed for pressure dispersion and an ideal fit. In addition to striving for safety and peace of mind, going forward we will continue to work on environmental efforts like calculating CO2 emissions at the material processing stage.

Guidelines and clinical practice for basic health maintenance Many factors play a role in maintaining good health, but posture and the skeletal structure play a particularly important one. Accurate alignment of the spine, from the pelvis to the spinal column, including the lower back, neck, and shoulders, often eliminates physical discomfort. We have focused on this correlation and has developed a three-pronged business of clinical outpatient services, research papers, and the development and marketing of products that take the skeletal structure into consideration, using our high level of expertise and experience in this field. In particular, in the clinical field, we have studied the human skeleton’s shape formation process, taking into consideration the fact that humans are organisms living under gravitational and atmospheric pressures on the ground and have bone shapes that adapt to dynamic factors like impact loading. We are presently studying the correlation between stress transfer point discontinuity at each joint in musculoskeletal injuries and associated symptoms. Our aim is to utilize these findings in treatment approaches, particularly considering the skeletal shape formation process in the affected symptomatic area.

Positioning on proceeding with product development In developing and selling products that take the human skeleton into account, we specialize in items used in daily life including chairs, pillows, and support clothing. These products are designed to assist the correct positioning of the pelvis and spine and to reduce the strain on the body caused by prolonged use. They contribute significantly to improving people’s daily quality of life, especially in today's society where many people work at desks.
In addition, since many of our products are in direct contact with the human body, we have developed them with consideration given to the safety and security of the materials. In addition, we strive to provide products that are also valuable from the perspective of sustainability, by carrying out product development that takes the global environment into consideration in ways like carbon footprint efforts. By using renewable materials, reducing energy consumption in the manufacturing process, and designing products with long service life, we can aim for consumer health and comfort while minimizing our impact on the environment.

What our laboratory aims to achieve through awareness-raising activities We offer educational programs for the general public based on the knowledge and experience we have gained in our business. In this way, we help achieve a healthier society by spreading information and techniques useful for maintaining and improving health on an individual level.
At the same time, the knowledge we gain through writing research papers enhances the development of methodologies based on scientific evidence. When we can share this research at academic conferences, in journals, etc., and have it widely accepted in the industry, that will raise the overall standard of treatment techniques. It may also lead to the discovery of new treatments and prevention methods through academic research, which can contribute to the advancement of medicine over the long term.
In this way, our activities aim to contribute to society not only in terms of direct treatment and product development, but also in terms of research and education. Our goal is to improve people's quality of life through skeletal and postural health.

NODAKI is a trading company founded in 1907 specializing in machine tools. In the 110 years we have been active, we have contributed to the growth of many of the world's leading manufacturers. With each one, we have walked alongside them since their founding, responding to their needs and sharing in times of both difficulty and joy. That is why we make recommendations by considering each manufacturer’s unique characteristics, regulations, accumulated knowledge, and improvement processes, among other factors. Nodaki's history is a history of challenges, and we are what we are today because we have changed with the times. With an eye on the next 100 years, Nodaki will continue to progress forward, inheriting the spirit of challenge that we have cultivated over the years.


Reliability and integrity underpinning the company contributes to economic and cultural development One of Nodaki's strengths is the know-how and connections we have developed over the years. Our robust network with over 700 suppliers gives us confidence that we can always provide the products our customers need. What's more, the Nodaki Group has acquired ISO14001 certification and maintains high standards for environmental management.

A specialized trading company providing the manufacturing industry with comprehensive support As a specialized trading company, Nodaki handles a huge range of products, including cutting tools, grinding tools, tool holders, inspecting and measuring tools, molds and jigs, workpieces, machinery and equipment, environmentally friendly products, and more.
Our ability to adapt solutions to any particular need allows our sales personnel to provide optimal proposals to customers having a hard time selecting a grinding tool for cemented carbide, cermet, and other materials that are difficult to cut. In addition, we offer our customers comprehensive support for their manufacturing processes, with solutions including technical support, consulting, suggestions for special-order items, and construction services. We aim to be a partner in helping our customers achieve sustainable growth through our "Challenge for the NEXT 100" corporate vision.

Our commitment to achieving SDGs and formulating our BCP Since the 1980s, Nodaki has been involved in a carbide tool recycling program in an effort to eliminate the risks to domestic supplies of tungsten and other rare metals resulting from a dependence on imports.
With a deeply rooted awareness about solving social and environmental issues through our business activities, the company established an SDGs Promotion Committee and is engaged in collecting plastic bottle caps, going paperless, and other daily efforts.
In addition, understanding how essential the power of workers is to our customers' sustainable manufacturing processes, we have collaborated with a sweet manufacturer in joint development of the Salty Vitamin Jelly Work Partner that is effective in preventing heatstroke by replenishing electrolytes at the same concentrations recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This demonstrates our customer commitment not only in providing machinery tools and solutions, but also in health management. Furthermore, prompted by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, we have been developing our business continuity plan (BCP) that incorporates measures to ensure the safety of employees and the local community and to maintain and quickly restore operations. The procedures include distribution of portable disaster prevention cards and creation of hazard maps for each site. Our BCP has been certified by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry as a "Business Continuity Enhancement Plan." We will regularly review, improve, and promote our BCP both within and outside the company.

What a specialized trading company can do to achieve carbon neutrality Nodaki supports the Aichi Global Warming Prevention Strategy 2030.
We are further intensifying efforts to reduce environmental impacts as required by ISO 14001 and actively working to achieve our targeted 26% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. There are, however, limitations to what a specialized trading company can do to become carbon neutral via the “sale of products." Nodaki has taken a new approach to contribute to carbon neutrality through the following "sales of services."
• Proposals to extend the life of carbide tools through regrinding and coating
• Proposals for recycling carbide waste
• Proposals for visualizing electric power consumption (demand monitoring systems, energy monitors, etc.)
• Proposals for extending coolant service life and sludge recovery
• Proposals for renewable energy and energy savings (non-fossil certificates, solar power, conversion to LEDs, heat-resistant coatings, etc.)
This specialized trading company's functions include leveraging our industry-leading network to create a catalog of Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) and use that in suggesting environmentally friendly products. Low-carbon efforts within the company include switching vehicles in the company fleet to EVs and PHEVs, reducing power consumption by installing solar panels and storage batteries, and using non-fossil certified renewable energy.

TOKAI ECOBOARD Co., Ltd. began focusing on environmental issues about 30 years ago. Through our technological development aimed at helping to bring about a recycling-oriented society, we developed a material called ECO BOARD. We succeeded in mass-producing Ecoboard, and with a passion for solving issues in various manufacturing industries—especially for logistics-related companies—we have been promoting its use for around 20 years. One of the founding principles of our company is having a fair, unbiased spirit. We are achieving open-minded impartiality by being environmentally conscious across the board through the manufacture, processing, and sale of ECO BOARD and ECO BOARD-related products.


Patented technology results in the strongest eco-materials. The structure of ECO BOARD and other Tokai Ecoboard products are based on the company's own original patents. Unlike ordinary cardboard, the corrugated sheets are arranged perpendicularly and securely bonded to the top and bottom of the board surface, ensuring unmatched strength and sturdiness.

Specific applications for ECO BOARD Our ECO BOARD is the result of over 25 years of research and development.
The board's special structure gives it the ability to withstand a compression load 700 kg per 10 square centimeters while retaining cardboard's original characteristics of lighter weight, ease of processing, and thermal insulation.
This gives it to applications in a variety of fields, including transport pallets, cushioning materials, partitions, and flooring, while also providing freedom in design. In addition, the boards can be used during disasters as partitions for private spaces, changing rooms, nursing rooms, and other spaces, and can be used for sleeping areas in evacuation shelters as well.

Contributing to a recycling-oriented society with ECO BOARD ECO BOARD's greatest advantage for the oncoming recycling-oriented society is the fact it is 100% recyclable. ECO BOARD's usage cycle is described below.
Design and Production
• Uses recycled paper waste
• Manufactured with minimal raw material waste
Distribution and Retail Sales
• Lightweight, which reduces fuel consumption during transportation
Use
• Enables freedom in design
• Safe due to nonuse of polluting substances; requires no fumigation
Recovery
• Ensures a stable recovery path for waste paper
Recycling
• Initiatives to improve the quality of recycled materials and to review and reduce the amount of energy resources used in the recycling process.
The cardboard recycling system relies on the close relationship between the wastepaper, paper manufacturing, and cardboard industries.
As a member of this system, we continue striving to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions and help achieve a low-carbon society.

SDGs and SBT initiatives also involving logistics As one aspect of our efforts to promote the SDGs, Tokai Ecoboard holds lectures and other events for employees, providing each employee with opportunities to consider how we can meet each of the SDG targets. We also strive to make our customers know that using our paper pallets contributes to carbon neutrality. Our sales promotion aims to support the development of a circular economy, helping achieve multiple SDG goals.
Additionally, there is an estimated difference of over 200 kg between wooden pallets and ECO BOARD pallets when used in one oversized hauling truck. Reducing fuel consumption during transport simultaneously reduces greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles. We have partnered with logistics companies to create a group offering comprehensive support from packaging to storage and delivery, while raising environmental awareness across the group.

MIZUNO KAGU Co., Ltd. operates the CONNECT showroom and store, where we offer original custom-made furniture based on the concept of "a place where people can connect with each other". We also offer various brands including one for imported Scandinavian furniture and one for original custom-made furniture designed with professional storage techniques.
Furthermore, we have been working on the "Kodama Project" to connect people in the mountains upstream and the towns downstream. In this project, we conduct hands-on programs in the form of experiential parent-children tours in upstream mountains where the cedar lumber used for our desks is sourced. Participants were encouraged to consider their connection with local resources.


High-quality, fully custom-made furniture that radiates craftsmanship Mizuno Kagu has been dealing with furniture, primarily through woodworking, since the company's establishment as a woodworking factory over 70 years ago.
We offer fully made-to-order furniture that combines design and functionality with unstinting attention to detail to suit the customer's lifestyle and preferences.
Whether it's a table made from a single slab of solid natural wood, or perhaps a set of chairs that perfectly matches our lifestyle, Mizuno Kagu craftsmen put all of their heart into the furniture they create.

Creating special places with attractive furniture Mizuno Kagu comprises a number of different brands. Our fragship brand, CONNECT, is based on the concept of "a place where people connect," connecting customers with materials (valuable techniques and materials), tools (tools imbued the maker's feelings), and time (irreplaceable moments of richness).
Our NORTE line presents imported Scandinavian-designed furniture featuring the warmth of wood. The simple yet sophisticated designs blend into the surrounding space to produce a comfortable atmosphere.

Creating a 3R cycle with single-ply, solid wood Established to connect people in the upstream mountains with those in towns downstream, the Kodama Project involves development of furniture and structures made with wild cedar that has never been processed since being planted in the forest area of Higashi-Shirakawa Village, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture. The project also includes sales of foods made using tomatoes and other local ingredients, while plans include lodging field trips for children to experience the mountain environment and the warmth of wood.
The project, where people share roles and thoughts becomes the catalyst for new ideas and work. Not simply about bringing effective use of local resources, but also conveying the feelings to the next generation, it fosters an environment in which innovation begets further innovation. In addition, producing furniture from domestic wood also reduces CO2 and other emissions from transporting imported wood.
Recycling single-ply, solid wood creates a brighter future for the Earth. With the "Rewood" brand, we are developing a business that purchases disused low, single slab tables from all over Japan and reprocesses them to provide new value. Since the launch in 2016, we have been aimed to prevent excessive deforestation by reusing rare wood.
A single slab of natural wood, a blessing from nature, changes in character and gains more depth and charm as it ages with use. This initiative is an opportunity to ponder the importance of continuing to use things for long periods and passing them on to the next user, rather than consuming them. It truly contributes to meeting SDG Goal 12, "Responsible Consumption and Production" and Goal 15, "Life on Land."
