Sankyu announced on September 16th that it will be joining the "2nd Asian Koshien Tournament," scheduled to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia in December 2025, as an official supplier.
The "Asia Koshien" tournament aims to spread Japanese baseball culture throughout Asia, with the first tournament scheduled for December 2024. The second tournament will be held on an even larger scale.

Leveraging their on-site capabilities and infrastructure support system, they will newly participate as an official supplier for the tournament.
Katsumi Aoyama, Executive Officer of the company, commented, "We agree with the aim of fostering sportsmanship and teamwork among the younger generation through the Asian Koshien Tournament, and we have decided to participate as an official supplier from this year onwards. We hope that through these activities, exchanges between Asia and Japan will deepen further, leading to the further development of the Asian region and the nurturing of young people who can play an active role globally."
