Celebrating the 100th anniversary of our founding

We celebrated the 100th anniversary of our founding this year, 2020. it has been for 100 years since my grandfather and grandmother were founded in 1920,
　There are many companies in Japan that have reached their 100th anniversary earlier than us. What they all have in common is that regardless of the type of business, they are always aware of the products at the time of establishment and the original way of thinking, and are proceeding in the form of creating new ways of thinking and new products.
　In our daily life, we carry out management that promotes the company through both manufacturing and sales. To this end, we will enhance three developments. The first is "material development." We will respond to the diverse needs of the new era and take on the challenge of developing new materials with an eye on the future. The second is "technological development." Incorporating the latest technology that advances day by day, we will challenge ourselves for the first time in the world. The third is "demand development." This is a challenge for Katsukura to change lifestyles, demands, markets, and channels into new ones.
　We have continued to weave for new cultures, richness of life, love, happiness and peace. And, in order to continue to share our hopes with many people, we will always start with "Thank you" as the starting point.
