In the textile field, specialized development/production of various types of supporter/other knit products, productized using our circular knitting equipment (approx. 55% in FY2003)

Expand in the world market as a specialty maker of auto stripers.

The machinery division independently develops and manufactures textile-related computer knitting machines and changers; the textile division uses this machinery to develop and produce final products made of unique high-tech materials, such as Far infrared radiation fabrics and conductive fabrics, for direct consumer use.

We have structured a system capable of offering everything from high value-added products to low-cost products achieved through improved productivity, and sell through diverse channels in different fields, including medical, health, beauty, sports, nursing and industrial.

In the Machinery Division as the expert maker of peerless auto stripers (thread changers), our strategy will be:

Obtain ISO9001 certification so that the reliability of products made with our unique technologies will be recognized.

Supply overseas knitting machine makers under our own brand.

Supplying world leading knitting machine makers (separate slide) is the largest issue.

Textile division - strive to realize our management vision, and use the supporter knitting machines developed/manufactured in-house to:

Independently productize highly functional, simple supporters.

Realize order-made supporter business model.

Improve share of our branded products.

(To expand in the European and US markets, a product line surpassing German made products will be critical, and improvement of our medical and technological level will be a crucial condition for our strategy.)
