The JAPAN DIY HOMECENTER SHOW, a comprehensive exhibition
showcasing all lines of home-related products, is organized by the
cooperation of three different sectors of manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers (do-it-yourself stores), in order to extensively promote the DIY
industry and help people enjoy a more improved quality of life through
the sound popularization of DIY home improvement. The Show has
provided new and lucrative business opportunities for the exhibitors, and
served also as an ideal place for publicity.
Last year, the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake in March, an
unprecedented disaster in the history of Japan, was an issue of big
concern. Believing that DIY could contribute to the reconstruction,
restoration and recovery of our country, we decided to hold the Show as
planned. The 2011 Show was very successful with the participation of
364 exhibitors occupying 848 booth, attracting over 78,000 visitors.
The theme of the 2012 Show is "Make Your Dreams Your Power!" We endeavor to introduce a wide range
of services and products that even go beyond the conventional DIY concept to suit the changes in the
recent living style of people. We will also carry out proposals that will be of help for the recovery of and
business stimulation for the disaster-affected areas.
Nowadays, do-it-yourself stores are all over the country and have become indispensable to people living
in the area. Although, do-it-yourself stores are under severe economic circumstances, just like any other
retail shops, we anticipate that people's interest toward do-it-yourself will be stronger than before as
people have become more conscious of disaster prevention and energy saving, trying to live economically.
To further promote and expand do-it-yourself stores, it is necessary to understand the needs of people
correctly at the right time and to offer services which suit them.
During the 2011 show, we held many events to support the recovery of the areas affected by the Great
East Japan Earthquake as well as various events to promote the expansion of the DIY market, such as the
Japan DIY Product Competition which was a new competition integrating the New Product & Hit Product
Competitions and the Environmentally Friendly Products Corner. We also presented the Exhibitor
Presentation Corner where the exhibitors could promote their products to visitors themselves and a
special exhibition called "Disney Home" These events and corners were all well received by the exhibitors
and the visitors. This year, we intend to enhance the quality of those events and corners, and at the same
time, make arrangements for all exhibitors to promote their products to the buyers and consumers.
We will present the well-reputed HOMECENTER TRADE II again this year. It is an event that allows the
exhibitors to have business meetings directly with the buyers. As we are going to invite buyers from
overseas for the first time this year, we will also present a corner to support companies trying to expand
new business opportunities abroad. We are planning to hold various events and present additional new
corners to attract more visitors this year. One of them is a corner for DIY involving electronic engineering
and another is a corner for encouraging students to obtain the DIY Adviser Certificate.
This is only a brief explanation of the Show's outline and major events, but we would be grateful if you
would consider participating in the JAPAN HOMECENTER SHOW 2012 as an exhibitor.
Thank you.
