For seven days, from August 19th to 25th, 2025, we exhibited at the "Osaka Healthcare Pavilion," located within the venue of the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai.
During this exhibition, we showcased our spout pouch products and a next-generation spout pouch that is currently under development. It was a valuable opportunity for us to directly present Aska's technological capabilities and its potential in the healthcare sector to the many visitors.

The Future of Healthcare as Envisioned by Spout Pouches

In addition to our existing products, we also introduced new spout pouches that are currently under development.
We exhibited the "AS8.7 Spout Cap," which features a smaller caliber than conventional products, achieving lighter weight and improved design, as well as the even more compact caliber "AS5 Oval Cap."
Visitors showed keen interest in the spout pouches, which featured shapes they had never seen before. We also received questions about the potential for various applications, including medical, nursing care, and disaster preparedness, often sensing high expectations for product development that meets on-site needs.
In particular, there was high interest in hygiene and portability, underscoring the renewed attention on the convenience of the spout pouch format.

Atmosphere at the Venue

During the exhibition period (August 19th–25th), the pavilion received 228,154 visitors, resulting in a continuous and bustling crowd.
The Osaka Healthcare Pavilion is a prominent area featuring exhibits focused on the future of health, medicine, and welfare.
Throughout the exhibition, not only our booth but also those of other exhibitors were crowded with visitors daily.
Especially on weekends, we saw many families and student groups. We took the time to carefully explain the features and use cases of our spout pouches as they viewed the products.

Surrounding Exhibits

At this exhibition, the surrounding booths also featured unique exhibits that captured visitors' interest.
Among them, a pipe organ made of bioplastic garnered significant attention.
This instrument, created from an eco-friendly material, was a symbolic exhibit that conveyed not only its sound but also the potential of the material itself.
Since Aska's spout pouches are also drawing attention from the perspective of environmental compatibility and recyclability, we plan to focus our efforts going forward on combining them with biomass materials and developing even more sustainable products.

What Was Gained Through the Expo Exhibition

The exhibition at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion was not merely an opportunity for our company to introduce products; it was also a chance for us to consider how we can contribute to future social challenges.
We were able to reaffirm that the spout pouch—a seemingly simple product—holds multifaceted value in areas such as hygiene, environment, and convenience, and can be utilized in a wide range of fields, not just as a container that enables reduction of materials.
Finally, Aska Company will continue our manufacturing efforts to create products that benefit society.
We will use the connections and feedback gained at the exhibition to strive for better product development and value provision.
We appreciate your continued support.
