Taiyo Kogyo Corporation (太陽工業株式会社, Taiyō Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha), based in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, is a specialty contractor for the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of tensile membrane structures.[2]
Founded in 1922 as Nohmura Tent Company, the company faced setbacks during World War II, but nonetheless was reconstructed in August 1946 as Nohmura Sewing Factory, eventually renaming its business to Taiyo Kogyo Corporation. Its headquarters are located in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Currently, Taiyo Kogyo has 37 subsidiaries across 13 countries.
Birdair was founded in 1957 in Buffalo, New York by Walter Bird. The company first began building radomes and rapid deployment command shelters and then branched into 1200 major installations in more than 30 countries, requiring over 30,000,000 square feet (2,800,000 m2) of architectural fabric membrane.[3]
In 1992 the company became a division of Taiyo Kogyo Corporation.
In addition to its high-profile structures it deploys collapsible umbrellas for restaurants and non-collapsible umbrellas for bigger projects through its Birdair Architectural Umbrellas subdivision.[4]
Taiyo Membrane Corporation is a supplier of tensile membrane structures within Australia and the Oceania region. Trading as MakMax Australia, the head office is located in the largely industrial area of Eagle Farm, north-east of the Brisbane CBD in Queensland Australia.
MakMax Australia was formed in 1984 in Australia under the name Shade Structures Pacific and originally raised to prominence through its innovative shade structures for the 1988 World Expo in Brisbane. The company joined the Taiyo Kogyo Group after it joined with USA Company Birdair Inc in 2001 and became Shade Structures Birdair.
In 2003 Shade Structures Birdair was transferred to Taiyo Kogyo Corporation and the company was changed to Taiyo Membrane Corporation. In 2007 Taiyo Membrane Corporation changed their Australian trading name to MakMax Australia whilst still trading under Taiyo Membrane Corporation internationally.
