ASNOVA Co., Ltd.

ASNOVA Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, whose core business is the rental of wedge-type scaffolding (kusabi-shiki ashba) for construction sites and events. Founded in December 2013 in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, as Nihon Rentect Co., Ltd., the company moved its head office to Nagoya in 2017 and changed its name to ASNOVA in December 2019. The name expresses the aspiration to create "a place that generates new value for tomorrow." ASNOVA operates a nationwide network of directly managed equipment centers and partner-operated ASNOVA STATION locations, serving over 3,500 scaffolding contractors as of May 2026. Its total scaffolding asset value across all locations was approximately 17 billion yen as of the end of March 2026. The company listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Next Market in April 2022 and on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in December 2023 under the ticker 9223. It is scheduled to transition to a holding company structure in October 2026, with ASNOVA Companies to be listed on both exchanges. ASNOVA's business model addresses the construction industry's need for flexible, cost-effective access to scaffolding without the burden of ownership, storage, and maintenance. The company has developed proprietary inventory management know-how, reducing inventory discrepancy rates to 0.001%. Beyond rental, ASNOVA operates an online scaffolding sales platform (ASNOVA Market), a membership service for scaffolding contractors (ASNOVA Club), and overseas operations in Vietnam and Singapore. Its purpose statement, "Creating tomorrow's places through the power of 'kasetsu'," plays on the dual meaning of hypothesis (仮説) and temporary structures (仮設).

ASNOVA was founded in December 2013 as Nihon Rentect Co., Ltd. in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture. In January 2014, it signed a company split agreement with Ueda Kenki Co., Ltd., and in March 2014 relocated its head office to Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. By July 2014, the company had established 10 equipment centers. In May 2017, the head office was moved to Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. The company conducted third-party allotment capital increases in March 2018 (capital 83,330 thousand yen) and March 2019 (capital 88,017 thousand yen). In December 2019, the company changed its trade name to ASNOVA Co., Ltd. The name derives from the desire to create "a place that generates new value for tomorrow." In March 2022, ASNOVA formulated its purpose statement: "Creating tomorrow's places in society through the power of 'kasetsu'" and slogan "To the future called tomorrow's place." The term "kasetsu" carries a double meaning of hypothesis (仮説) and temporary structures (仮設). In April 2022, the company listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Next Market (ticker: 9223) and conducted a public offering (capital 220,732 thousand yen). In October 2022, it established ASNOVA VIETNAM Co., Ltd. and launched the partner-type location expansion business ASNOVA STATION. In May 2023, it opened ASNOVA Market, an e-commerce site for scaffolding sales. In December 2023, it listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. In February 2024, it opened Saitama Fujimino Center (20 locations), in March 2024 Gifu Tajimi Center (21 locations), in September 2024 Chiba Kashiwa Center (22 locations), and in October 2024 Kumamoto Center (23 locations). In April 2025, it acquired all shares of Qool Enviro Pte. Ltd., a Singapore temporary toilet rental company, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. In July 2025, it launched ASNOVA Club, a membership service for scaffolding contractors. In August 2025, it opened Fukushima Motomiya Center (24 locations). In April 2026, it established ASNOVA Singapore Pte. Ltd. as a regional headquarters to accelerate M&A in ASEAN. In May 2026, it introduced Hachidori Denryoku renewable energy at all 24 directly managed equipment centers. In September 2026, it is scheduled to delist from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market and Nagoya Stock Exchange Next Market, and in October 2026, it plans to transition to a holding company structure, with ASNOVA Companies to be listed on both exchanges. The company has also engaged in branding activities with Loftwork since 2018, including projects related to business development, corporate branding, and human resource development. In 2021, it collaborated with parkour team SPEMON for an event at Hisaya Odori Park in Nagoya. In October 2024, it opened the corporate YouTube channel "Asunoba Channel."
