Sanyo Homes is a prominent Japanese construction company specializing in residential housing and real estate development. Committed to delivering durable housing solutions, Sanyo Homes upholds a 100-year durability concept under its ‘Eco & Safety’ corporate vision.
In line with this vision, Sanyo Homes has enhanced the integrity of bolted joints in its steel structures, including columns and beams, to ensure resilience in the face of potential natural disasters. After extensive collaborative testing with HARDLOCK Industry, Sanyo Homes standardized the use of HARDLOCK® nuts for all lightweight steel frame structures in detached residential housing from 2012 onward.
According to Sanyo Homes, the incorporation of HARDLOCK® nuts is pivotal in achieving bolted joints that remain secure for over 100 years, even in the face of unpredictable earthquakes, such as the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake. This innovation also enhances the consistency and reliability of on-site fastening, irrespective of individual worker variability.
Sanyo Homes communicates the benefits of HARDLOCK® nuts to its customers, emphasizing their proven performance in high-vibration environments, such as bullet trains.
