The 3 companies in the Namura Shipbuilding Co.,Ltd. Group, Namura Shipbuilding Co.,Ltd., 函館どつく and 佐世保重工業, will introduce new workwear selected by employee vote from 1 October 2026. The basic design is standardised across the Group, with each company's colour incorporated as an accent.
The new workwear is based on grey and black and adopts a common basic design across the 3 companies. Each company's name and logo will be placed on the left shoulder, maintaining visual distinction while unifying the corporate branding.
The design was selected by a vote of all employees of the Group's 3 companies from multiple proposals, including suggestions from employees. A diverse range of members, including foreign technical interns and part-time employees, participated in the decision.
Functionally, reflective material has been added to improve visibility at worksites, the knee sections have a double-layered construction, and wide belt loops have been adopted to improve durability. This is expected to improve the practicality of the workwear.
The introduction coincides with a milestone year in which Namura Shipbuilding Co.,Ltd. marks its 115th anniversary, 函館どつく its 130th anniversary and 佐世保重工業 its 80th anniversary, and is intended to strengthen unity across the Group.
