A One-Stop Fabless Maker
At our company, we manage all steps of the process for making healthcare and other products, from the planning and development stages, to production, distribution (importing/exporting) and delivery. The products we handle range from sewn goods such as bags, to stationery, leather accessories, and even healthcare products, all produced overseas. By effectively using overseas suppliers we have found independently, we are able to operate competitively. Having no factories, the risk of keeping inventory is eliminated.

Sales Network
From retail products targeting convenience stores, bulk retailers and drugstores, to promotional, supply and gift products targeting corporations, our company operates in any areas.

Supplier Network
Our products are mainly simple, but high quality. We offer them in reasonable costs because we directly deal with factories in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Japan.

Environmentally Friendly Approach to Products
Global warming is a serious issue, brought about by atmospheric and water pollution, as well as deforestation. With a shift from a society of mass consumption to one that coexists with nature being sought after today, it is important that we live an eco-friendly lifestyle that is kind to the Earth. Starting with the small things, we can remember the 3Rs of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Our company tries to handle environmental issues with our products, enabling an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Effort to Reduce Usage of Plastic Bags
There has been a movement to limit the use of plastic bags in many countries throughout the world in an effort to limit their environmental impact. By bringing your own bags with you when shopping, garbage can be reduced, as well as reducing the amount of the greenhouse gas CO2 that is produced.

Fighting Global Warming
By putting part of profits towards purchasing CO2 emissions credits, our customers are indirectly contributing to a reduction in CO2 overall. Since the emissions credits purchased are then transferred to the Japanese government at no charge, this helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Use of Discarded Wood
The rubber tree of the Euphorbiaceous family is found throughout Southeast Asia. The trees used to be discarded after harvesting, but now the wood is reused in environmentally friendly products.

Efficient Use and Reuse of Resources
We use environmentally friendly materials, reclaiming resin from plastic made using plant products and extra parts created during production, and using fibers made from recycled plastic bottles.

Reduced Energy Consumption
By making products that use solar energy, we are contributing to a decrease in the number of batteries sold, which is currently around 2.2 billion yearly. Calculators with solar panels are a widely used eco-friendly product.

Deforestation and Desertification
It is said that around 23.7 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are used in Japan in one year. By carrying your own chopsticks, the waste of a vast amount of resources can be avoided.

Eco-friendly Products
Effective use and reuse of resources, reduction of energy consumption and plastic bags, deforestation and desertification; our company has many products that contribute to solving these environmental issues facing our planet.

The products winning Good Design Award
Our company always searches for new ideas to produce products with both good design and functionality. In such effort, several products won the Good Design Award.
