Announcement of Partnership Agreement with Japan Foot Care Service Co., Ltd.
FC BASARA Mainz is pleased to announce that Nippon Foot Care Service Co., Ltd. has joined us as a "Foot Support Partner." The entire club is thrilled to receive their support starting this season and to have formed this new partnership. Nippon Foot Care Service Co., Ltd. actively expands its high-level technical expertise, originating from Japan, to other countries under the philosophy of "bringing Made-in-Japan technology to the world." Their initiatives deeply resonate with FC BASARA Mainz's club philosophy of "developing talent that can succeed globally," which led to the formation of this partnership. Moving forward, we are confident that Nippon Foot Care Service Co., Ltd. will support our players' performance from the ground up, and we feel very encouraged by the prospect of advancing together through a strong partnership. FC BASARA Mainz will strive for further growth and development with our new partner. 【Comment on the Sponsorship Agreement】 ＜Yoshio Ohira, President and CEO, Nippon Foot Care Service Co., Ltd.＞ It is a great honor to have concluded a "Foot Support Partner Agreement" with Basara Mainz, who continues to take on challenges in Germany. Our company will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025. Since 2015, "overseas expansion" has been a crucial management goal, and we have particularly promoted the development of our unique orthotics since 2020. With the acquisition of a patent for orthotics (insoles) in Japan in 2022, our desire to "bring Made-in-Japan technology to the world" grew even stronger, and we systematically proceeded with plans to expand into Asia, Europe, and the United States. In early 2025, we had the opportunity to be introduced to Basara Mainz. I decided to travel to Germany to experience the intensity of the現場 firsthand. What I witnessed there was young players pursuing their dreams in a foreign land, and the "serious passion" and professional attitude of the team and staff who diligently supported them and strived to provide the best possible environment to aim for the world. This scene was incredibly refreshing and deeply moved me. At that moment, the passionate vision of Basara Mainz, "developing talent that can succeed globally," and our company's vision of "bringing world-class orthotics to Germany, one of the leading countries in prosthetics and orthotics," completely aligned. This went beyond business; I strongly felt a pure desire to support this challenge from the ground up. Without hesitation, I made the decision to sign the agreement on the spot and returned to Japan. Going forward, with our orthotics technology, we intend to support the best performance of all players from their feet, and together with Basara Mainz, we will continue to take on world-class challenges. 【Company Information】Nippon Foot Care Service Co., Ltd.【Representative Director and President】Yoshio Ohira【Location】19-2 Kamitoba Kitatonoboncho, Minami-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto 601-8122, Japan【Business Activities】Manufacture and sale of prosthetics and orthotics Consulting services related to clinical trials Import and sale of medical footwear Translation and interpretation services and specified temporary staffing services【Founded】February 2006【Official Website】https://jpnfootcare.co.jp/company/
