Up the Gills: Hochiki Europe Announces Partnership as Gillingham Football Club Sponsor

Gillingham Football Club is excited to welcome Hochiki Europe as its new Rainham End Sponsor. The agreement will see the Rainham End at Priestfield Stadium renamed ‘The Rainham End in partnership with Hochiki’ until the end of the 2026/27 season.

Hochiki, whose European head office and manufacturing plant was established over 30 years ago in Gillingham, have been world class leaders in the production of commercial fire detection and emergency lighting products since being founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1918.

Gillingham was chosen for the site of the European factory because of the link between Will Adams and Japan. Will Adams was a 16th century navigator, born in Gillingham in 1564. He was the first European to establish a trade route between England and Japan.

The company is now spread across three sites in the south east region of Medway, after they recently announced a multi-million pound investment into a new 24,000sq ft (about four times the area of a basketball court) shipping and warehousing hub in Chatham. The new facility has the capacity to increase from 480 to 2,450 pallets with picking times reduced by more than half, from 7 minutes per line to 3 minutes per line ensuring a continued and efficient supply of the highest quality production of life safety devices and systems.
