From Kyoto to the world…we’re going back to our roots 🌏✨ Did you know Horizon began in Kyoto? At our Biwako Factory, a stunning tapestry on display in our gallery celebrates and shows our origin. The original painting of Kyoto by Hatsusaburo Yoshida was later arranged to include Horizon’s Kyoto and Biwako plants to show the harmony between traditional art and Horizon's new technology. This is true in our business model as well. Thanks to countless hours of dedication and care, we are able to keep many aspects of our beginnings, while advancing into the future of automation. For 78 years, we’ve woven every detail into our business, much like the intricate craftsmanship of our handmade tapestry. If you visit us here at our Biwako factory make sure you don't miss this amazing work of art!

#HistorywithHorizon Lives On  🌏📖✨ It’s important to us that we foster a sense of community and celebrate our global collaboration and shared history in a thoughtful way with everyone. While collecting our #HistorywithHorizon stories, members of #TeamHorizon carefully translated each one to Japanese so we could turn them into a book for all Horizon employees to enjoy (using the BQ-500 and HT-300 of course).  If you make a visit to our Biwako Headquarters, or World Support Center in Kyoto, make sure you check out both our printed books available in both English and Japanese. 🆒 If you’re interested in reading the individual stories from our campaign, search the hashtag “#HistorywithHorizon” on LinkedIn.

Here in Japan, it’s HOT! 🌞 🌡️ To cool down, we went to the showroom and made uchiwa, Japanese fans, with our RD-N4055DM rotary die cutter. Designs are printed and passed through dies attached to magnetic cylinders, giving the fans their unique round shape. The RD-N4055DM allows users to produce a wide range of applications like business cards, specialty cards, labels, light packaging, and stickers at a production speed of up to 6,000 cycles per hour! We hope everyone is enjoying their summer and keeping cool 😎 See the RD-N4055DM on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gFtJijhN For more information on the RD-N4055DM: https://lnkd.in/gU_dhyiT #Horizon #PostPress #Uchiwa #Summer #CommercialPrinting #DieCutting #SummerinJapan
