The “A” Echoes the Shape of Our Original Spray Gun

The “A” in “Active” is shaped after a part of our first domestic spray gun model manufactured by Iwata Seisakusho, the very origins of our company. We believe that a “vitality of spirit that is undeterred by failure” can only spring from a fresh attitude that never forgets our original purpose.

Since the logo of our corporate slogan is similar in shape to the monument portion of our corporate brand logo, these logos together resemble a “parent” and “child.”

“i” For Everyone to Embrace the Slogan as Their Own

We want to encourage each and every one of our employees in all of our divisions to embrace this slogan as their own mission and ask themselves, “What does Newest Technology mean to me?” To reflect this idea, we accentuated the “i” in blue, our company’s corporate color.
