KOZO KEIKAKU ENGINEERING HOLDINGS Inc. was newly established as a holding company on July 1st, 2024.
Founded by Makoto Hattori as the first structural design office in Japan 68 years ago in June 1956, KOZO KEIKAKU ENGINEERING Inc. was established as a limited company three years later. In the 21st century, it evolved from a system integrator into an engineering consulting firm that can provide clients with the highest of added value service.
Spinning off from the Department of Architecture, Tokyo Institute of Technology, our founder dreamt of becoming a “general practitioner” of engineering—an advisor to clients—by combining engineering knowledge accumulated through industry-academia collaboration, and information technology which rapidly developed from the late 20th century. Today, cloud businesses are growing at a striking speed, while knowledge-intensive engineering consulting business lies at our core.
This can only be realized by diverse human talent. Currently, mid-career recruitment accounts for 20 percent of our staff members, while 8 percent are foreign nationals. Female staff members account for 30 percent and strive as managers and engineering specialists.
We do not recklessly aim to scale up the business or increase profits and stock price, but instead continue management that builds an environment where staff members feel purpose in life and individual opinions are valued regardless of gender and nationality. PARA-SOL, Inc. (Kumamoto) and KKE Smile Support Inc. (Tokyo) provide diverse work styles.
Furthermore, in terms of cooperate governance, we have adopted the form of a company with a Nominating Committee, etc.
We will deepen open innovation with allies from both industrial and academic fields to explore further international partnerships while firmly maintaining our autonomy and independence.
From our origin of secure and safe structural design work, we will challenge the mounting social issues such as environmental problems, global warming countermeasures, excess centralization in Tokyo, and countermeasures against the falling birthrate.
We thank you for your continued support.
Representative Executive Officer Shota HATTORI
