Exploring the Appeal of New Products Born at DISC OSAKA, the Heart of DESCENTE's Manufacturing

With the concept of 'creating the world's fastest wear', DESCENTE LTD.'s sports apparel research and development are conducted at 'DISC (DESCENTE INNOVATION STUDIO COMPLEX) OSAKA'. I had the opportunity to visit DISC in March of this year.

I was curious to know what kind of facilities were available at this core facility of DESCENTE and what kind of research and development was being carried out. This time, while touring the facility, I spoke with Gota Tani and Takahiro Hirano, who are in charge of product development for DESCENTE's PRO and TRAINING categories.

DISC OSAKA Filled to the Brim with DESCENTE's Technology

DISC OSAKA is a development facility equipped with the latest sewing machines and 3D printers.

In addition to laboratories where motion analysis and environmental testing can be conducted, the facility is equipped with advanced equipment and environments aimed at enhancing the functionality and performance of sports apparel, such as a motion capture room that can analyze athletes' movements, a body scanner that can 3D scan athletes' bodies, and a sample production line that can make prototypes in a short period of time.
