Since its founding, Air Water has played a key role in the production of industrial gases that are indispensable for manufacturing and medical gases that support the lifesaving efforts of medical professionals.

We aim to make further leaps forward in our businesses that support people's lives.
In the healthcare field, we provide hospital equipment, medical devices and services, oral health, home medical care,
and nursing care products and services that support people’s everyday lives. In agriculture and food,
we manufacture and sell agricultural products and foods that support the production and supply of food.

Air Water has opened the International Advanced Medical Center Kobe in the Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster,
one of the largest healthcare clusters in Japan.

We create innovation by having customers actually see,
touch and experience various products that relate to their lives,
and by combining the needs and ideas generated in that process with the various resources of Air Water.

The key concept is "biodesign."

To enable everyone to live healthy lives,
Air Water aims to innovate next-generation businesses from this center.
