Kyudenko, a major Kyushu-based engineering firm, announced it will change its name to “Kraftia” starting October 1, marking its first renaming in 36 years. The decision was approved by its board on April 28 and will be finalized following the June shareholder meeting. The new name reflects the company’s aim to advance its technical capabilities and expand operations. Kyudenko, which recently relocated its headquarters to the newly opened One Building in Fukuoka’s Tenjin district, emphasized that the renaming process incorporated input from younger and mid-level employees. President Kazuyuki Ishibashi stated the company intends to continue innovating while maintaining the trust it has built since its founding. Source: Kyudenko / NHK
