Manufacture of safe, reliable products

In a range of business fields, we follow all legal and industry quality and safety standards. We have also established our own more-rigorous in-house standards, and we pay careful attention to safety. In implementing quality inspections for toys, for example, we have established more than 300 inspection items and conduct rigorous tests in accordance with the individual characteristics of the products.

Wide-ranging environmental impact reduction activities
In addition to acquiring Green Management Certification, which is given to transportation companies that implement low-environmental-impact operations, we are developing environmentally friendly products, including recycled resins and antibacterial hand towels. Moreover, we are taking steps­such as the use of solar power generation and raw material recycling­to make our plastic model plant in Shizuoka City the first plant in the toy industry to receive green certification.
