Osaka-Kansai Expo: Italy, Indonesia, and Philippines Pavilions, Constructed with Participation from Nishio Rent All, Have Opened

Nishio Rent All Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka; President & CEO: Nishio Masashi), a subsidiary of Nishio Holdings Co., Ltd., is pleased to announce that the Italy, Indonesia, and Philippines Pavilions, whose construction the company participated in for the 2025 Japan World Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo) which opened on April 13th, all opened on the same day.

Italy Pavilion

The Italy Pavilion was constructed by a group led by Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA). Nishio Rent All participated as a member of a joint venture (JV) with Kosei Kensetsu Co., Ltd., Nomura Co., Ltd., and others. The “ATA-CLT-S method,” developed by our Wood Module Business launched in 2020, was adopted for the main structure of the Italy Pavilion. This method combines CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) panels made from commercially available timber with steel (hardware and tension members), enabling construction with a short lead time and low environmental impact, aligning with the Expo’s themes and concepts.

Indonesia Pavilion

The construction contract for the Indonesia Pavilion was awarded to the “Nishio Rent All・ATA・Fujiya Specific Construction Joint Venture,” led by Nishio Rent All. This was commissioned through Samudra Co., which was entrusted by BAPPENAS (the National Development Planning Agency/Ministry of National Development Planning of Indonesia), a designated national agency. Wood is utilized for parts of the Indonesia Pavilion’s structure, realizing an environmentally conscious building.

Philippines Pavilion

The Philippines Pavilion was constructed by a joint venture formed by Nishio Rent All and Asakawa Gumi Co., Ltd., commissioned through the design firm CAT Inc., which was entrusted by the Government of the Philippines. Nishio Rent All was responsible for design support and the procurement of materials, primarily wood. Environmentally friendly wood is used for parts of the structure.
