  • Going fabless results in new strengths

    Going fabless results in new strengths

    We have pursued fabless manufacturing* since 1984, and have been able to discontinue the molding and tooling sections of our plant. The resulting nimbleness and flexibility of operations enables us to provide clients with precise solutions that scratch their itch.

  • A business model that major corporations cannot hope to emulate

    A business model that major corporations cannot hope to emulate

    We identified the “young mums” segment as an ideal niche market for a company like ours, small and nimble with a flexibility that the lumbering giant corporations cannot match. We swiftly established a Young Mums Product Development Department, enlisted the help of various partners, and began creating a variety of new products. Today, that mindset continues to inspire out in-house brands Norn and Daccolino.

  • Making non-working time as enriching and working hours are rewarding

    Making non-working time as enriching and working hours are rewarding

    We have been serious about helping employees achieve a good work-life balance since long before it became fashionable in the corporate world. The establishment of our Work-Life Balance Committee around 2009 led to reforms to make non-working time as enriching and working hours are rewarding. We have systems in place to make coordinating time on and time off as smooth as possible, including by-the-hour leave in addition to basics such as maternity and childcare leave.

*Fabless manufacturing is the design and sale of products while outsourcing their fabrication to a specialized manufacturer, thus the company does not have its own in-house fabrication facilities. Specifically, the company plans, designs, and develops products, but outsources all or most of the manufacturing itself, procures products on an OEM basis, and sells them as its own brand products.
