– Tomoyuki Masubuchi, President, Nippon Hume Corporation
Japan’s civil engineering story is one of resilience. Floods, earthquakes and typhoons have not only brought catastrophe but also innovation in durable building materials. Following the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake, which spurred strong reconstruction efforts in the region, Nippon Hume, a precast concrete manufacturer, was founded with a vision to build long-lasting infrastructure. Now with 100 years of expertise, President Tomoyuki Masubuchi remains committed to the company’s mission to “support social infrastructure.”
