Research and development to support new business ventures.

Our research and development is conducted not only in Japan but also with partners in various countries, as each partner possesses unique characteristics specific to their region. For example, our in-house creative team handles R within Japan, specializing in high-difficulty designs and functionality, with the capability to produce even small-lot quantities. On the other hand, when stable supply of large lots is required, the process management differs accordingly. In such cases, we pursue process development and material exploration in collaboration with partners in Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. We are capable of optimal management on a project-by-project basis.

Japan

In Japan, we maintain our expertise as a manufacturer and have expanded into various product lines. We can also provide initial support for brand development.

Overseas

Overseas development encompasses capabilities beyond what is possible in Japan. We respond to diverse needs, including textile knowledge and expertise, as well as large-lot production processes.

Supply Chain

With branch offices in Singapore and the UK, we possess strengths in import/export support and flow construction. Our supply chain management is comprehensive.

Brand

We also possess expertise in overseas brand development. We support your business with a complete set of branding know-how.

Creating business itself from the ground up.

No industry limitations

Of course, we are textile professionals—that was our founding business. However, what we have cultivated is expertise comparable to that of Japanese trading companies. We are confident that the breadth of what we can provide is far greater than you might imagine.

Understand

We begin each project by understanding the client’s situation and exploring the optimal approach. This can range widely—from simply developing a product, to considering brand value, to supply chain management or overseas expansion.

Propose

For any client, the fact that you have approached us means you recognize us as professionals. In that case, we always consider it our responsibility to provide some form of proposal in return.

Co-create

Ideally, we combine our clients’ expertise with our own to create new value. Through such co-creation, we aim to support the next phase of business development. We respond to everything from socks to various other business ventures.
