NOMURA delights customers with space creation and revitalisation

The challenge of infusing energy and vibrancy into an empty space has driven NOMURA's employees for more than a century. Through the imagination of NOMURA's design professionals, an austere venue transforms into a setting that is steeped in meaning, delight and emotion.

"We possess the spirit of creation and manufacturing," says Masaru Watanabe, president. "We create the functional aspects and the total look. We care about the impact our spaces create."

NOMURA pioneered the concept of the display industry in 1892. Since its beginnings as a stage and theatre production designer, NOMURA has gathered various audiences for its clients through its targeted and awe-inspiring set-ups. From conceptualisation and design to construction, NOMURA showcases its unmatched display skills through its corporate publicity spaces, showrooms, exhibition booths and various cultural and academic projects in Japan and abroad.

Guided by the challenging spirit ingrained in the company's DNA, NOMURA continues to innovate, creating spaces that mesmerise and generating ideas that influence the siring of new products and markets. Whether it is expressing a corporate philosophy or conveying a specific message, NOMURA has delighted and earned the trust of top corporations and organisations. Commissioned to execute the award-winning W Guangzhou FEI, it is also responsible for fashioning numerous shops, hotels, offices and museums in Japan, China, Singapore and across other parts of Asia.

"We always try to deliver beyond what our customers expect," Watanabe says. "We've evolved over the years, and our curiosity has led us to discover new concepts that develop businesses and make things happen for our customers."

Expanding its overseas operations worth 3.5 billion yen (HK$268 million) to hit 10 billion yen in six years, NOMURA is nurturing local employees and partnering with high-quality suppliers and contractors, particularly from China and Southeast Asia.
