[About the casting experience workshop “CASTER HOME”]

A project was set up within Taiyo Sangyo, centered around young employees who will lead the next generation, and the workshop was completed over two years. The team members named the workshop “CASTER HOME” because it was a place to learn about casting, a place where there were people involved in casting, and a place where people could feel close to casting. I did.

We wanted to get rid of the image of the foundry industry, which is sometimes called 3K, so we created a stylish space with a “vintage & luxury” theme in our experience workshop. After enjoying casting in a stylish space, you can also enjoy a commemorative photo in front of the chalk art. You can experience authentic casting by making a sand mold and pouring molten tin into the mold.

After opening in June 2023, not only people from the local area but also people from all over the Kansai and Tokai regions came to experience casting, and we were able to contribute not only to promoting the appeal of the industry but also as a tourist hub for the region. We also provide learning opportunities for local residents, such as accepting local elementary school students on company tours, participating in corporate new employee training programs, and other tourism events in the city. We have released this program in order to further promote local contribution and educational support as a company.

[Protecting the culture of “Kwana Casting” through industrial tourism]

Kuwana Casting has a history of 400 years, with its roots in the manufacture of guns by Tadakatsu Honda, the first lord of the Kuwana Domain. As Taiyo Sangyo, which has been making water supply materials from castings in Kuwana City for over 60 years, we wanted to keep that culture alive, so we created Caster Home as a place where you can easily experience casting.

Through Caster Home, we would like to help invigorate the local culture by visiting Kuwana, experiencing casting, and learning about “Kwana Casting.”
