Hioki Innovation Center Wins New Office Promotion Award
Hioki Innovation Center Wins New Office Promotion Award with Creative Office Award at the Nikkei 29th “Best of New Offices” Awards
August 20, 2016 - Nagano, Japan
Hioki is pleased to announce that the recently built Hioki Innovation Center has received the New Office Promotion Award including the Creative Office Award at the 29th “Best of New Offices” Awards, which were hosted by Nikkei Inc. and the New Office Promotion Association.
The “Best of New Offices” Awards are dedicated to promoting new approaches to office design by recognizing office spaces that embody originality and creativity.
Out of this year’s 125 applicants, 16 were chosen to receive a New Office Promotion Award. Three of those recipients were also chosen to receive a Creative Office Award.
Surrounded by the verdant environment of Hioki Forest Hills, the Hioki Innovation Center was completed in March 2015 and began operations two months later in May. By bringing all the company’s engineers—about 270 employees—together in a single workplace and encouraging continuous exchange and interaction, the facility provides a research and development environment that promotes the development of new products that are as unique as they are advanced. It also offers some of the most sophisticated testing equipment in the world, including an anechoic chamber, clean room, reliability testing center, and drop and vibration testing systems. The building’s environmental features include rooftop solar panels and a structure that effectively incorporates natural light, while ventilation windows make use of the natural energy of wind so that the facility does not have to depend exclusively on a mechanical air-conditioning system.
As Hioki strives to create new products that will satisfy customers through the Hioki Innovation Center, the company will draw encouragement from this award that recognizes the creative and innovative features of the facility.
