New Logo Design
"From Akashi to the World"
We have adopted Frutiger, a typeface widely used around the world for various signage, as the base font for our logo type. The logo mark, with blocks stacked to form the letter "T," represents the values of "dignity," "revolution," and "future." It represents our commitment to taking on new challenges and climbing the steps beyond our 100-year history.
The Meaning Behind Our Name Change
We chose the word "INNOVEX" to represent our commitment to continuously driving unprecedented innovation in the molding and casting industries, enhancing our customers' experience with the expertise we have cultivated as a specialized manufacturer. Additionally, "TOYO" has been widely recognized both in Japan and internationally as a brand built over many years. To carry forward this brand identity, we incorporated it into our new company name.
