A commemorative ceremony and celebration for the Wakayama Woodworking Center Cooperative Association (chairman Koji Hiraishi) in Kokura, Wakayama City, which celebrated its 60th anniversary, was held on the 15th at Montigre (Daiwa Roynet Hotel Wakayama) in Nanabancho, Wakayama City. Approximately 60 guests and union members celebrated the milestone and wished for the further development of the union.
The association was established in 1962 as the first designated housing complex in the prefecture under the Small and Medium Enterprise Modernization Fund Subsidy Act. Joinery manufacturers based mainly in the city came together to modernize their factories. Currently, 32 companies are working to revitalize the industry, and it continues to develop as one of the leading local industries in the country.
At the ceremony, Chairman Hiraishi, who took office in May of this year, looked back on the progress so far and said, “This is a housing complex that was born during a period of high economic growth, and was initially full of vitality, but the situation has changed significantly with the passage of time.” “Thanks to the former president’s efforts to resolve various outstanding issues over the past 14 years, I have been given the privilege to inherit this legacy.Today, let’s rejoice and celebrate this memorable day together.”
Mayor Masahiro Obana gave encouragement, saying, “I hope that everyone will come together as one to firmly support and develop the city for 70 to 100 years.” In recognition of his many years of accomplishments, we presented a letter of appreciation to former Chairman Hiroshi Hioki.
A commemorative lecture was also held, with judoka Shinichi Shinohara, silver medalist in the 100km super class judo at the Sydney Olympics, taking the stage. With the theme of “Through Judo,” they had a fun talk about the Olympics and their current local activities, and the venue was filled with laughter.
