Message

Our company was founded in 1948 as a manufacturer specializing in bicycle puncture repair materials, based on our belief in the responsible use of the Earth’s limited resources.

As motorization advanced, we expanded our applications to motorcycles, passenger vehicles, large trucks, construction machinery, and conveyor belts. Today, we have become the only manufacturer in Japan specializing in tire repair materials.

With a mission to deliver safety and satisfaction, we have continued to move forward together with our long-standing customers and partners both in Japan and overseas. Today, our products are used in more than 60 countries worldwide.

While valuing the history and trust we have built over the years, we continue to take on new challenges with ideas and speed suited to a new era. Rather than simply preserving tradition, we embrace change and strive to create a more sustainable and valuable future.

President Suguru Asano

Philosophy

Natural resources on Earth are limited and must be used efficiently for future generations. Our products make it possible to restore large objects with small repair materials.

CSR

Manufacturing in Harmony
with Society
and the Environment

Through our products, we aim to create value for society while pursuing sustainable business practices in harmony with the environment, people, and local communities. In addition to maintaining high standards of quality and safety, we are committed to addressing environmental challenges such as effective resource use and the reduction of CO₂ emissions. We believe that the accumulation of small products and small actions leads to a better future for society, and we will continue our commitment to responsible manufacturing.

Environmental Initiatives

In Japan, approximately 89 million used tires and tubes—about one million tons—are generated every year. Globally, more than one billion waste tires are produced annually. The disposal of such large volumes has become a global issue, contributing to both resource consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Through our small yet meaningful products—puncture repair materials—we promote the choice of repair instead of replacement. Repairing tires and extending their usable life helps make effective use of resources and reduce CO₂ emissions. These steady, everyday actions support a more sustainable future by preserving limited resources.
We will continue to work to reduce environmental impact across the entire lifecycle of our products, from manufacturing and use to disposal.
Commitment to Quality and Safety

Guided by proven technology and a robust quality management system, we are committed to creating products that can be used with confidence. We build safety, reliability, and integrity into every product we make, supporting the peace of mind of our customers and contributing to the safety of society.
Growth of People and the Organization

We foster a workplace where every employee can work with confidence, continue learning, and grow. By passing on skills while encouraging new challenges, we aim to build an organization that carries its values forward to the next generation.
Coexistence with Local Communities and Society

We contribute to the creation of a healthy and vibrant society by supporting well-being through sports, collaborating with local organizations, and creating employment opportunities. Through these efforts, we aim to foster a society where people and communities can grow together in a sustainable way.
