-Company Corporate Profile
This year of 2019 marks our 100th anniversary since our business foundation.
Just like in the past, we are passionately pursuing the making of higher-value products at the most optimal manufacturing places (domestic or abroad). By doing so, we proudly continue to make innovative products of vide variety for consumers’ more pleasure.
As an enterprise in the domestic secondary industry, we are highly proud of our own 100th anniversary. During Japan’s high economic growth in the past, the domestic secondary industry made a great progress, but this industry has become very sluggish because of rapid economic globalization seen in the recent some ten years. During such upheavals of the textile/apparel industry we belong to, we’ve made the best use of our own technology and expertise, which we have piled up so far, and successfully managed to react to such big change by sticking to our business policy of creating high-value-added products at the most optimal places of production.
All our products touch the skins of their users. So our products must be human-body friendly and highest in quality & safety, which is the necessary requirements Japanese makers like us can fully satisfy. In this aging society with fewer children, consumers have become more oriented for health and higher-value products. Amid these situations, we believe our highly functional products really satisfy our users and contribute more to such society now.
Product quality must be always good, needless to say. With this in mind, we’re aiming to focus more on strengthening our own business capabilities to create more advanced products and to perfectly satisfy consumers’ needs. This is to create further higher values to our products in the current products-saturated society. Thus, we’d like to remain as a shining manufacturer with fundamental strength.
We proudly, as a Japanese maker, continue to make innovative products for consumers’ more comfort and pleasure. By doing so, we’d like to make a great progress together with all our customers. We sincerely appreciate for your further patronage toward us also from now on, just like in the past. Thank you.
