2019.7.09Power Assist Suits Introduced!
At Takemoto Piano, we’ve taken the lead in our industry by introducing "Power Assist Suits"!
Our logistics team handles the daily task of moving heavy pianos in and out by hand. To reduce the risk of back pain and other injuries, we decided to introduce this technology to help ensure safer working conditions.
The team members who are using the suits have praised them, saying, “The work has become much easier.”
The suits have become an essential partner in our physically demanding tasks, significantly improving efficiency and safety.
We look forward to seeing them continue to be a valuable asset in the future!
2017.9.27 The Backstory Behind Our "Company’s Big Gamble" Commercial
2016.10.13~ Cooperation with the Sakai ASEAN Week 2016 Private Ambassador Program ~
The "Sakai ASEAN Week" Private Ambassador Program, held annually in Sakai City, welcomed university students and faculty members from five ASEAN countries (the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam) to Takemoto Piano for a social tour this year.
We provided an in-depth explanation about how Takemoto Piano exports a large number of pianos to ASEAN countries and shared details about the advanced piano repair work we do. The students had the opportunity to experience hands-on piano repairs as well.
It was truly rewarding to see the students' focused expressions and enthusiasm, making the experience very meaningful for all involved.
This year, we were also honored to receive coverage from several media outlets, including MBS TV, MBS Radio, ABC TV, ABC Radio, Kansai TV, and TV Asahi.
We sincerely thank everyone who visited and contributed to making this a special occasion.
2016.9.15ALSOK Security Robot
The role of this robot is to assist with security at the Takemoto Piano Annex and to automatically provide product explanations at the Piano Museum.
But that's not all.
When a staff member stands in front of the robot, it uses facial recognition to open the door, which is truly impressive.
The robot greets visitors politely and stops automatically to ensure safety if it detects the risk of colliding with someone while providing product information.
It also offers encouraging words when recognizing the faces of employees.Of course, if an intruder is detected, it immediately alerts ALSOK security.
This robot is an excellent and reliable member of our team, acting as both a doorman and a security guard.
We’ve grown quite attached to it, so we’ve given it a name—"Takeborg" (a combination of Takemoto + Cyborg)!

We sincerely hope for the swift recovery and rebuilding of the affected regions.
