Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We have established an in-house production system covering from printing to processing, so we can offer fair prices. We have a standing inventory of exterior material paper, which is a custom-made item. We have arranged processing equipment so we can handle production from small lots to large lots.

[Business description]
We apply the paper processing technology we have been cultivating since our foundation to create all kinds of possibilities. These include harmony with the environment, novel color expression, and technology backed by tradition. We produce situations of relaxation and free time. We manufacture tableware consumables for restaurants, such as paper napkins, paper coasters, paper hand towels, and paper aprons. We have been manufacturing paper hand towels for 40 years. We recently released our Frut moist hand towel, which is a unique product in Japan, featuring an exterior free of deformation. We also market derivative products such as disposable glass wipes and wipes for liquid crystal screens. We are receiving an increasing number of inquiries about designs suitable for sales promotion and novelties from planning companies in addition to our products for restaurants.

[Industry]
Paper processing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our staff are completely familiar with the characteristics of paper, which we consider to be a technology advantage. Various characteristics such as non-flammability, sufficient moisturizing effects, and breathability are now required. We propose an optimal selection of paper material based on our full recognition of the nature of paper. We think our company’s other advantages include our information-gathering power and technological support power. This makes it possible to deliver optimal products according to customer requests, the manufacturing process, and the application situation. We currently manufacture most products using fully automatic processing machines, but we retain a period of semi-manual processing, and our inspection criterion is the warmth produced by human hands. This is how we have established firm relationships of trust with our customers.

[Representative's message]
Our company is soundly managed to accumulate results day-by-day, and one product at a time. We think that it is important to create an energetic work environment in which every employee can feel a sense of satisfaction. Every member of our staff always gives their best. We want to do our best to differentiate our company from our competitors, and our goal is to be a unique company.



[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We plan to aggressively cultivate markets. We will construct a sales system that allows us to make various application proposals, and a manufacturing and processing system that enables us to provide a wide range of support. We will also actively participate in exhibitions and trade shows and improve awareness of our company and products. We will pursue customer satisfaction by reproducing the design and printing requested by the customer to the greatest extent possible. We also want to cultivate overseas markets with our made-in Japan products via indirect transactions.



[Market share/Ranking]
We think that we have a certain level of market share based on our track record of paper hand towel deliveries. Our Frut product is the only one of its kind in Japan.
