The over 100-year history and the path of progress of the Takamatsu Construction Group from its founding in 1917 to today.
From its founding in 1917 up to the 1980s
Founding, and reorganization as a stock corporation
Founded as Takamatsu-Gumi by Tomekichi Takamatsu.
At the time of its founding, most buildings were made of wood with very few reinforced concrete buildings. It was in that kind of era that Takamatsu Gumi constructed the sports grounds of what is now Osaka Prefectural Kitano High School. At the time oxcarts were the main means of transportation, and they apparently had to transport soil from the hills of Senri to fill the ground.

In the 1990s, the company changed its name from Takamatsu-Gumi to Takamatsu-Kensetsu Co., Ltd. (Takamatsu Corporation) and was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Company name changed to Takamatsu Corporation Co., Ltd.
The company's name was changed from Takamatsu-Gumi to Takamatsu Corporation, reflecting expectations for the next new step of development while building on the history to date. Since gathering all employees together had become difficult due to the increasing number of employees and the opening of new branches and business offices, the Three Basic Credos were also documented in writing in order to communicate the philosophy of the company to all employees and unify the direction they were aiming for.
