Main products
Laundry related business
Since the foundation of the company, we have sold detergents and other necessary materials for commercial and professional laundry businesses (the laundry industry). We commercialize products suitable for dry cleaning, which uses chemical solvents to wash wool and other delicate fabrics, as well as laundry cleaning, which uses water to wash clothes made of cotton, polyester, and other materials, in order to meet the needs of the times. In response to recent changes and diversification of clothing materials, we stay sensitive to the latest trends and reflect them in our business and sales operation. At the same time, we focus on the linen supply and dust control businesses, while proactively dealing with effluent regulations and environmental issues. We promise to be of service to customers by continuing to propose even better products.
Railcar related business
Railcars become dirty due to a variety of factors, such as iron mold generated by friction between the wheels and rails, as well as brakes; oil spots caused by grease and carbon; and protein-based stains caused by insects. We propose and sell detergents suitable for each case.
Metalworking related business
Taking over products developed by New Japan Chemical Co., Ltd., we promote them to each industrial field. We have a variety of product lines, such as "MILD COOL" for cutting oils and "NONRUST" for antirust agents. Those products are used for various purposes, and are required to have high performance. Since our products play an important role in manufacturing, we closely work with each of our customers, taking requests from and having in-depth meetings with them. Feel free to contact us.
