Our Business
What do we do?
As material professionals, we go broader and deeper in solving challenges.
Our materials are formed into sheets without weaving or knitting, allowing for flexible transformation through various raw materials and processing methods. Leveraging these unique properties, we deliver solutions across a wide range of industries—including medical and hygiene, HVAC, automotive, construction, agriculture, and daily consumer goods. We propose products that combine functionality and reliability, tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers. More than just a material supplier, we aim to be a partner in solving challenges and creating value, continuously expanding the potential of materials.
Our group companies also manufacture and sell automotive floor mats and fibers, offering a wide range of products that meet customer expectations with the professionalism.
