TOKYO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprung Structures, a global leader in innovative building solutions, is proud to announce the expansion of its operations in Japan through a strategic alliance with WAM Co., Ltd., a multidisciplinary firm based in Tokyo.
To better serve clients in Japan, Sprung has appointed WAM Co., Ltd., as its official manufacturing representative. WAM Co. offers full bilingual project support and collaborates with top architectural and design firms across the country, focusing on technology, environmental sustainability, and social innovation.
Sprung's commitment to sustainability includes using 45 per cent recycled content in its buildings and fabric membranes that are 100 per cent recyclable.
"We are excited to align with Sprung Structures to bring their cutting-edge, environmentally conscious buildings to the Japanese market," said Conan Morimoto, representative of WAM Co., Ltd. "Their adaptable, energy-efficient design and rapid deployment process make them uniquely suited to Japan's construction challenges."
Sprung's tension membrane structures offer a faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to traditional Japanese construction. Its aluminum-framed buildings assemble quickly, require minimal foundations, and offer long-term durability backed by a 25-year warranty.
"We're pleased to strengthen our presence in Japan at a time of rising costs of construction using traditional materials such as concrete and steel," said Philip Sprung, CEO of Sprung Structures. "Our energy-efficient, rapidly deployable structures meet the evolving needs of Japanese industries and municipalities looking for smart, scalable building solutions."
Sprung structures in Japan are used for warehouses, sports facilities, and specialized remediation projects for Kobelco. Highly versatile, they are ideal for industries ranging from logistics and manufacturing to recreation and disaster relief. The buildings can also be installed over existing facilities—such as swimming pools—transforming them into modern, year-round recreational spaces.
