INNOPHYS CO., LTD

Innophys was founded based on the technology of Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi at Tokyo University of Science, with a mission to "enable independent living as long as one lives," aiming to address societal issues such as labor shortages and caregiving burdens arising from the aging population. Primarily focusing on developing assistive suits to alleviate the strain on workers' lower backs, the company has a track record of implementation across various sectors including caregiving, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and construction. These exoskeletons have proven to enhance operational efficiency, facilitate the utilization of seniors and women, and reduce the risk of work-related injuries. The flagship product, the Muscle Suit, operates without the need for electricity due to its simple technological design that utilizes the mechanics of air and rubber. It has gained significant support from labor-intensive fields facing labor shortages, often referred to as the "3K" sectors.
