about

Today, it is said that the 21st century is an era of the environment. The mission for us as manufacturers, I believe, is beyond merely making high quality products, but to create enterprise which is friendly to the earth environment and especially kind to humans. It is an era where our commitment to environmental issues is accountable, as well as our ultimate goal of continually supplying highly accomplished quality materials. Since October 2001, we have been supplying the world with "Next Generation Phosphorescent Ceramics" and Luminous Marking Product 'α-FLASH®009' as an emergency evacuation path marking. α-FLASH®009 is an epochal environmental product made of 100% polyolefin, which complies with world environmental standards, and is the first such product from Japan to pass the vigorous US flammability tests (ASTM). This globally recognized product was introduced, for the first time in the US, to commuter transportation (Chicago subway) as an emergency evacuation path marking in 2002.
