Commitment to Sustainability
Efforts so far
Since our founding in 1948, we have worked to contribute to society under our management philosophy.
In particular, in the field of soundproofing materials for automobiles, which is our main product of the manufacturing division, we have focused on developing products using recycled materials. In addition, our sales division have strived to contribute to environmental conservation, local communities and society, through business activities such as providing various products using cutting-edge technology.
Future initiative
We will contribute to solving various problems through our business activities toward the realization of a sustainable society, which is the goal of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), which are the common goals of the international community. We take the expectations of our stakeholders seriously and will continue to improve our corporate value and achieve lasting development by continuing these activities.
