Techmark Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Toshiya Hasegawa), which designs and operates extended warranty systems, held a "Challenging New Frontiers with Extended Warranties: Three-Company Roundtable Discussion" on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The event featured Mr. Toshiaki Hirose, President of Shimamura Music Co., Ltd., and Mr. Koichi Ando, President of Vision Megane Co., Ltd. The day began with an overview of Techmark Japan and an explanation of its extended warranty system, followed by case studies from Shimamura Music and Vision Megane. The three-company discussion explored the potential of extended warranties beyond mechanical domains such as home appliances and automobiles, customer needs reaching the front lines, and the creation of touchpoints for consultation even after sales. Shimamura Music introduced its system in response to customer inquiries about extended warranties for electronic piano purchasers, and subsequently expanded its coverage to guitars and synthesizers. Vision Megane shared how they developed their system over approximately a year and a half, in the absence of similar domestic cases, as a mechanism to address post-purchase concerns such as vision, damage, and loss, which also serves as an opportunity for repeat visits and consultations. ■ Event Overview [Name] Three-Company Roundtable Discussion: Challenging Non-Mechanical Domains with Extended Warranties [Date and Time] Wednesday, June 17, 2026, 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM (Reception opens 9:45 AM) [Venue] 10th Floor, Kinshicho Arc West (1-2-4 Kinshi, Sumida-ku, Tokyo) [Speakers] - Toshiya Hasegawa, President and CEO, Techmark Japan - Atsushi Kosaka, General Manager, Sales Department, Techmark Japan - Toshiaki Hirose, President, Shimamura Music Co., Ltd. - Koichi Ando, President, Vision Megane Co., Ltd.
