YOTSUGI’S
CONCEPT

The concept of “nurturing”
safety and security

YOTSUGI envisions the concept of security and safety as not attributes of products themselves, but rather results achieved in each customer’s operating and work environments. Since its foundation in 1934, YOTSUGI has been implementing and improving its high-grade product development and manufacturing capabilities that enhance operational efficiency, while constantly providing security and safety over time, using customer inputs and evolving in the same way that plants spread roots in the ground and grow.
These valuable experiences have allowed YOTSUGI to develop advanced technologies and quality management capabilities, and become a leading company especially in the protective gear (gloves) and equipment industry.
In the same way that different types of plants are selected and cultivated to match the local conditions, YOTSUGI’s corporate policy is to understand the various businesses in which its customers operate, and provide security and safety in their operational and work environments.
YOTSUGI is committed to providing ever-higher safety and improved products, in the future as in the past.
