Panasonic AW Engineering Co., Ltd. (President: Akihiko Adachi, Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), part of the Panasonic Housing Solutions Co., Ltd. group, will launch its new model "System Kitchen MXII" on September 1, 2026. This renewal and enhanced lineup of system kitchens for apartment buildings is primarily aimed at the rental housing market. ■ Background of Development The Company focuses on its housing equipment business, which handles sales of water-related housing equipment and related construction, and its rental solutions business. The annual shipment volume of its unit baths exceeds approximately 100,000 units each year, and they are widely adopted in newly built rental apartments and condominiums. In recent years, soaring real estate prices have led to increased attention on rental housing for families and a trend towards smaller floor plans, resulting in greater diversification of properties. Amidst this, there has been an increasing number of requests for kitchen set proposals for medium to large-scale properties where multiple floor plans coexist. Therefore, leveraging the Company's strength in offering kitchen set proposals alongside its highly popular unit baths, Panasonic AW Engineering is launching the new model "System Kitchen MXII" on September 1, 2026. This new model enhances design and functionality through expanded sizes, increased item selection, refreshed door pattern variations, and the introduction of a flat-style island kitchen, enabling it to cater to an even wider range of properties. "System Kitchen MXII" will be developed as a new standard model that meets the diversifying needs of the rental housing market and provides value in design, construction, and resident satisfaction. 1.
