MTG Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the construction of a new headquarters and R&D center (hereinafter referred to as the New Headquarters) in Atsuta Ward, Nagoya City. This facility will serve as our new base for research and development as well as brand communication.

Scheduled for completion in January 2027, the New Headquarters will harmonize with the historic town of Atsuta, home to the sacred groves of Atsuta Shrine, and will be a community-oriented complex facility. As a facility embodying our business vision, VITAL LIFE = "A healthy, beautiful, and vibrant life," it will be cherished by local residents and contribute to creating new vitality in the town of Atsuta.

Furthermore, through the construction of the new headquarters, we will participate in the "Atsuta Gaien Project." This initiative, resonating with Atsuta Shrine, fosters co-creation among local residents, businesses, government, academia, and the arts. Together, we will build a "new history" for the Atsuta Shrine area, rich in history, culture, and tradition. We will promote Atsuta's well-being and charm nationwide and globally. We will enhance functions that build the technological foundation for brand development, improve efficiency through consolidation of facilities, and boost planning and development capabilities by promoting communication.

The facilities and plaza will be spaces widely enjoyed by the general public. By incorporating the ReFa Café and ReFa Museum, which embody MTG's brand and products, visitors can purchase items exclusive to Atsuta and experience the brand's world.

Adjacent to Jingū Higashi Park, which blooms with seasonal flowers and trees, we will construct a new headquarters building designed by internationally renowned architect Kengo Kuma. The concept centers on "harmony with the surrounding environment," "an office open to the park with excellent ventilation," and "a comfortable working environment."

Designed and supervised by Kengo Kuma, the building evokes the image of a green hill responding to Atsuta Shrine and the nature-filled park. It features a curved terrace symbolizing MTG's design, with the structure arranged to embrace the plaza. This design positions the new headquarters as part of the Atsuta Outer Garden, connecting greenery and the community.

Furthermore, all areas facing the plaza will be open to the public. We plan to include food and beverage outlets themed around health and beauty, as well as areas where visitors can experience Japanese craftsmanship.
