In 1876, a legacy began in Ichigaya Kagacho. Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) was established. Now, fast forward to the present day, and picture yourself standing before their headquarters at 1-1-1 Ichigaya Kagacho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Ichigaya Kagacho isn’t just another Tokyo address. It’s the heart of a global printing giant. DNP’s reach extends far beyond ink and paper. They’re involved in everything from packaging to electronics and even aseptic filling systems used in a significant portion of Japan’s PET bottles. Here in Ichigaya Kagacho, DNP’s headquarters houses the Overseas Business Headquarters, coordinating operations for 26 sales locations and 13 manufacturing plants worldwide. Imagine the flow of information and innovation emanating from this very spot. In 2013, DNP undertook a major system overhaul at Ichigaya Kagacho. They replaced their older HP-UX system with a Fujitsu M10. This upgrade wasn’t just about keeping up with technology. It was about streamlining their global operations. The result? Response times doubled, batch processing tripled, and operating costs were reduced by almost 35%. This building is a testament to DNP’s forward-thinking approach. Ichigaya Kagacho isn’t just a place on the map. It’s a symbol of DNP’s continuous evolution and global impact.
