Message from Management
Since our founding in 1914, we have satisfied the needs of a variety of markets with our “Tsutsumi and Mamoru” technologies (technologies to wrap and protect), including household goods, food, medical and pharmaceutical and electronics markets.
In order to adapt to the rapid changes in society in recent years, we position sustainability as a core priority of our management efforts, in light of the fact that we need to keep creating greater value as a company. The source of our sustainable growth is our founding spirit: “Originality is born by challenging the difficult and unknown.” We must address the potential problems of society, the market, and our customers ahead of anyone else, and create unique solutions by continuously integrating and reimagining our technology and services . By embodying this spirit, we can remain a company that consistently generates new value. And we believe that this approach will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
Aiming to be a company that is friendly to people and the Earth, we will work with our stakeholders to create a future that we can be proud of throughout the following generations.
