The turbulent times of today demand that to succeed in the textile industry a company must pursue novel, unconventional ideas and embrace bold strategies that may not always fit within existing business paradigms. Guided by the motto “Sincerity at All Times”, Yagi will continue to create new value and embrace challenges worldwide to bring greater joy to people everywhere and help make the world a better place.
