Our founder, Keiichi Arinaga, started a cleaning business in 1956 .
Since he came from a family of fishermen, he wanted to make boat cleaning as a business, so he took this advice and set out on his mind to "cleaning the land".
At that time, when we were at the threshold of high economic growth, we were already grasping the possibility that it would lead to today's building maintenance industry.
Anyway, with a polisher, he started Daiwa Kensosha in Kobe.
Daiwakensosha was entrusted with the first resident cleaning service in the building in 1960 from Kanazawa Hospital.
In 1961, we signed a building cleaning contract with Daiei, which was steadily preparing for nationwide expansion as a supermarket leader in the Kansai area.
Taking this opportunity, Daiwa Kensosha will continue to expand its business and start to grow.
In 1968, Atsushi Arinaga became the second president.
By becoming a member of the Daiei Group, we were entrusted with cleaning work for all stores, and expanded the scope of our business to include building maintenance work such as facility management and security, and in 1974, we moved our head office to a new building at our current address.
After that, we continued to expand our cleaning and building maintenance businesses, and diversified our business by expanding into fields such as mop and hand towel rental.
Convenience store business started in 1976.Employees at the time had no knowledge of retail business, such as product management or customer service.
We learned a lot. The management know-how we gained there has been put to good use in the effective use of our customers' building assets.
In 1955, the year of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, we withdrew from the Daiei Group.
Daiwa Kensosha lost its job at Daiei, which accounted for 60% of its business, and faced challenges as its annual sales of 11 billion yen.
However, through the efforts of all our employees over the next several years, we were able to escape from this predicament. It goes without saying that our efforts to diversify our business and evolve our business know-how from the perspective of building management/asset management have been successful as we have expanded our business.
People and the on-site is the most important.
Maintenance is a job that usually repeating the same thing every day. It's like a housework. Even if you do your best, you won't be praised or thanks, and there's no end to it if you cut corners.
However, someone has to do it, and it is a job that is definitely needed in the world.
The people working in the field can work together to find fulfillment in their work, and share the joy of improving and growing together.
Our business has also become more sophisticated and complex, from cleaning to building maintenance and property and facility management.
Furthermore, how do we move forward into the next era? On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of our founding in 2015, we carried out company-wide branding.
We aim to be a company that can develop for many years while providing sincere and solid services with the highest priority on the relationship of trust with our customers.
