1. COLOR / About the colors in the dyeing industry

The mission of the dyeing industry is to dye items in the colors requested by customers. For dyeing work uniforms, our company’s particular forte, it is of utmost importance to produce colors that never change that will add color to our customer’s work environment. But the materials that are dyed change according to the times. In order to produce the same color as before, it is not the case that you can simply repeat the same process. You get closer to the desired color by carefully managing the production process from scouring to dyeing to finishing, including trying dye combinations by trial and error. No matter how much techniques have advanced, improving color reproducibility and stability will be an eternal issue for the dyeing industry.

2. MANAGEMENT / Control by humans that machines alone cannot achieve

Dyeing is a chemical reaction that occurs amidst constantly changing natural conditions. Even if you are using the same material, dye, and machine, the dyed color will change slightly according to that day’s conditions. We detect those subtle changes and fine-tunes aspects of the process. Rather than simply preparing the factory and production line, our control is conducted by experienced artisans, enabling us to produce the colors requested by our customers. We pride ourselves on our company’s forte of such control strength by people.

3. TRADITION / New ideas created from the traditional industry

Precisely because we are in the dyeing industry that has a long history, we believe that the key to technical innovation is developing new ideas by learning from the past. There are many past techniques we can reference today. Experiencing all kinds of threads and fibers, listening to our artisans who have much expertise and experience, and leveraging past techniques has led to improvement of quality and stability. The knowhow we have cultivated throughout our company’s over 140 years of history continues to be valuable today.
