Through an integrated system spanning materials to finished products, we aim to drive meaningful transformation and contribute to a sustainable future

We have combined the expertise in raw materials and yarn that we have developed over the more than 130 years since our founding with the planning and product capabilities of our lifestyle business. Through this integration, we have established a vertically integrated model that handles the entire value chain from upstream to downstream, enabling rapid, high value-added proposals that leverage our global supply network.
 

In our new medium-term management plan, we have adopted “one step ahead” as our guiding policy. We will focus on developing materials and fabrics with the end user in mind while also focusing on expanding our global operations. Through our sustainable materials brand UNITO, we will advance environmental strategies, while strengthening our wellness business centered on our proprietary material LAVATECH. Our goal is to create products that shift environmentally conscious choices from being something “special” to something that is “natural.”
 

Guided by our Business to Belief philosophy, we will deliver the background stories of our materials and the dedication of their creators to the world, leveraging our domestic and global production bases and our proprietary traceability systems. Across the entire value chain, we will continue creating new value while working to contribute to a sustainable future and to enhance corporate value.

We deliver the potential of materials

We have evolved beyond raw material supply, establishing ourselves as coordinators of materials across various domains, including apparel and industrial resources. Quickly responding to the accelerating demand for globalization and sustainability in the textile product market, we globally promote eco-friendly material series, including our unique Unito project. Through partnerships with spinning mills, manufacturers, and processing facilities, we independently develop high-performance, high-quality yarns. Additionally, we collaborate with domestic and international fabric manufacturers to deliver premium textiles. By providing optimal materials not only for apparel but also for automotive, interior, and industrial applications across different countries and industries, we have built a solid reputation for reliability.
