We hereby announce that KAJI CORPORATION (Head office: Okuizumi-cho, Nita-gun, Shimane; President: Kaname Ogawa; hereinafter known as “KAJI”) has invested in LAEVO BV (Head Office: Delft, the Netherlands, CEO: Rogier Barents).
KAJI and LAEVO BV began jointly developing the ”LAEVO” exoskeleton in 2015 for reducing strain on the lower back during work, and KAJI began distributing LAEVO throughout Asia as their solo distributor in 2018.
In addition to distributing the unique LAEVO exoskeleton, KAJI has also helped LAEVO BV improve its development capabilities through investments.
