Business Activities

Cotton has unique qualities. We procure cotton from various countries, including the United States, and produce yarn that harnesses each cotton's distinctive features. Our deep understanding of the properties of raw materials, such as cotton, is essential. To bring our customers' apparel concepts to life, we start by focusing on the raw materials.

This involves examining the structure of cotton and wool, understanding the climatic conditions of the regions where they are produced, and determining the resulting properties of the materials.

At our Kumamoto factory, equipped with state-of-the-art spinning machinery and staffed by skilled artisans, raw materials from around the globe are spun into yarn.

We produce a wide array of functional materials, including organic, biodegradable, antibacterial, antiviral, cooling touch, anti-static, stretch, high moisture retention, high insulation, deodorizing, and heat-generating fibers. We also develop wearable fiber materials designed for direct application on the body. Through these functional materials, we support the development of our customers' value-added products.

By applying weaving and dyeing techniques that maximize yarn properties, we offer fabrics with high fashion appeal. We are particularly accomplished in planning and manufacturing cut-and-sew fabrics, providing customized solutions that meet the needs of apparel brands.

Each season, we develop new fabrics to respond to changing trends, showcasing the allure of textiles through color, weaving techniques, and texture.

With our in-house production capabilities, we can deliver intricate, highly-designed fabrics that meet the highest standards for quality and finish.

We have established a foundation for creating materials—from selecting raw materials to spinning yarn and producing fabric. Tatsuta Boseki's strength lies in having firmly established this foundation, which serves as the starting point for manufacturing. The textile industry is highly specialized and often involves segmented processes; however, we remain committed to producing yarn from raw cotton and wool, and turning it into fabric ourselves.

We aim to leverage this strength and experience in broader fields, which led to the establishment of our Lab project.

Centered on our Kumamoto production base, along with our headquarters in Himeji City and sales offices in Osaka and Tokyo, we share information across our locations to collaborate on new themes and projects, free of departmental barriers. At times, we move swiftly, while at others, we conduct thorough evaluations and investigations, ensuring that we seize business opportunities and develop them into long-term projects.

Lab, which leads research and development from a social and industrial perspective, and focuses on contributing to society, will become the core of Tatsuta Boseki's future initiatives.
