This year, we mark a major milestone: the 60th anniversary of the establishment of our predecessor, Daiichi Kasei Co., Ltd. We have come this far thanks to the generous support of our customers, business partners, local communities, employees, and shareholders, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude.

 

The most distinctive feature of the synthetic leather products handled by our group is their “highly flexible and supple in texture and feeling.” In addition, under the banner of “Takumi Technology” originating in Japan, we have expanded our business globally with the aim of becoming No. 1 in the world in terms of design and functionality as well. Nowadays, our products have gained recognition around the world for their animal-free, lightweight, and durable properties, as well as for enabling advanced designs.

 

Today, the business environment surrounding our group is at a major turning point. Market and customer needs are becoming more sophisticated and diverse, and requirements for product performance, quality, and sustainability are rising year by year. In response, we have positioned the strengthening of our product development capabilities and greater speed as key management priorities, and we aim to translate these efforts into stronger sales capabilities. We also view promoting sustainability as an essential management issue directly connected to improving corporate value over the medium to long term, and we are advancing initiatives to enhance sustainability from both product and manufacturing perspectives. Looking ahead to our next milestones—the 70th and 100th anniversaries—our group aims to become a global leading company in the premium materials market.

 

We appreciate your continued understanding and support for the Ultrafabrics Group.
