Continuous Expansion of FM-Certified Flood Door Applications in the Japanese Market
From May 20 to 22, 2026, Interphex Week Tokyo 2026 was successfully held at Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan. As one of the most influential exhibitions for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in Japan, the event attracted numerous equipment manufacturers, engineering companies, and professionals involved in high-specification facilities.
At this exhibition, Sasaki Plant Co., Ltd., the authorized distributor of Shanghai Weiwang Technology Co., Ltd. in Japan, showcased WE WON's flagship product, the FD-02 FM Certified Quick-fit Buckled Flood Door, at Booth 26-24. This exhibition not only demonstrated the continued expansion of WE WON's FM-certified flood protection solutions in the Japanese market, but also marked the official promotion of the FD-02 for pharmaceutical facilities and other high-specification applications in Japan.
Meeting the Flood Protection Requirements of High-Standard Facilities
As the risks associated with typhoons, heavy rainfall, and other extreme weather events continue to increase, industrial plants, underground facilities, and critical equipment areas face greater threats of flooding and business interruption. For the pharmaceutical industry, flooding in critical areas such as cleanrooms, logistics corridors, and electrical rooms can not only disrupt production continuity but also result in significant compliance and operational losses.
According to the requirements of FM Data Sheet 1-40 (FM DS 1-40), flood protection equipment installed at openings should comply with the ANSI/FM 2510 certification standard. This standard remains the world's only certification system that evaluates flood protection performance under simulated real flood conditions. As a result, active flood protection systems with FM certification are increasingly becoming an essential component of risk mitigation and business continuity planning for high-specification facilities.
Key Advantages of the FD-02
The FD-02 is a patented, modular flood protection system designed for rapid manual deployment without tools. It is suitable for critical facilities such as cleanrooms, data centers, electrical rooms, and industrial logistics corridors.
Its key advantages include:
- Tool-free operation utilizing a patented bolt-free buckling system, eliminating common issues associated with traditional bolted solutions such as corrosion, thread damage, and component loss.
- Fast deployment, with a standard assembly time of approximately 3 minutes by two operators and a verified fastest installation time of only 1 minute and 18 seconds, making it ideal for emergency flood response situations.
- Triple-sealing protection using high-performance EPDM weather-resistant rubber, providing continuous sealing at the bottom, sides, and panel joints, with leakage approaching zero during static water pressure testing.
- Wide-span capability, supporting clear openings up to 4 meters without intermediate posts, balancing operational accessibility and installation flexibility.
- Verified performance through impact resistance, dynamic water spray, durability, and other rigorous tests, enabling the system to withstand real flood conditions and providing strong support for insurance compliance requirements.
From Product Display to Real-World Applications
The presentation at Interphex Week Tokyo enabled more Japanese customers to directly understand the value of the FD-02 in environments requiring high levels of cleanliness and safety. For pharmaceutical facilities in particular, flood protection systems must not only prevent water ingress, but also provide rapid deployment, reliable sealing, convenient day-to-day management, and long-term maintainability.
Beyond the product itself, WE WON provides a comprehensive lifecycle service system covering detailed engineering design, installation and commissioning, training and emergency drills, as well as periodic maintenance. This helps customers establish a long-term flood protection management framework aligned with FM risk management principles.
Outlook for Japan's High-Specification Facility Market
This exhibition further expanded the application scope of WE WON's FM-certified flood doors in the Japanese market and provided a more targeted flood protection solution for pharmaceutical facilities and other high-specification environments. Moving forward, WE WON will continue working closely with its Japanese partners to promote the implementation of the FD-02 in critical industrial facilities, providing more reliable support for business continuity and disaster resilience programs.
