As a group company of Prime Life Technologies Corp. (established by Panasonic Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp.), Panasonic Homes focuses on integrating lifestyle and technology to deliver future-oriented town developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, home ownership rates have fallen in New Zealand and demand for affordable housing has increased significantly over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KiwiBuild was established in 2018 by the New Zealand government to address the housing challenges facing the country and has since been taken over by Kainga Ora, a crown agency for housing development in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to use our technology and know-how proven in Japan, a country with earthquake and typhoons, to support housing Needs of New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>KAZUHIKO TANAKA<\/strong>, <\/em>General Manager

\u201cWe want to use our technology and know-how proven in Japan, a country with earthquake and typhoons, to support housing needs of New Zealand,\u201d said Kazuhiko Tanaka, general manager of Panasonic Homes\u2019 overseas business division. \u201cWe promised to Kainga Ora to help improve the quality of New Zealand homes and shorten the construction period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panasonic Homes will export high-quality housing materials manufactured at its factory in Japan to New Zealand. Steel-framed panel-type housing components have proven to strengthen building structures and are highly resistant not only to earthquake damage, but water damage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panasonic Homes partnered with Mike Greer Commercial (MGC), one of New Zealand\u2019s largest privately owned residential building companies, and completed a prototype home in Waikato, New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile most homes in New Zealand take seven months to build, our technology reduces construction time and enabled us to complete the prototype house in three months and it will also lead to skill transfer to construction personnel.\u201d Tanaka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough the introduction of housing technology cultivated in earthquake-prone Japan, we look forward to delivering solutions to the country\u2019s building sector and sharing our expertise to contribute to the further development of construction industry in New Zealand,\u201d said Tanaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
