Message from our president

Our aim to be a towel producing area that continues to create
"Safe, Secure, and Superb" Imabari Towels

The Imabari Towel Project was launched in 2006, when towel manufacturing was dying out in Imabari due to the rapid increase of imports of foreign products along with the gathering wave of globalization. Under the guidance of Kashiwa Sato, who was appointed as a branding producer, Imabari Towel is now recognized as a representative brand of “Japan Quality”- products that are “Safe, Secure, and Superb.” We would like to thank all of the people involved for their support.

Today, various changes are accelerating all over the world. In particular for Japan there is a labor shortage due to the declining population. It seriously affects production in our area and we are working on this urgent issue by improving labor conditions and efficiency without impairing technology and quality.

In addition, sustainability activities as represented by SDG (Sustainable Development Goals), are also attracting a great deal of attention as a social responsibility that companies and brands should address. The Imabari Towel Industrial Association has established human rights policies and is implementing multi-faceted CSR activities such as the Imabari Towel Child-rearing Support Program, Imabari Towel and Mizu-no-Mori, and will continue in their development.

We believe in our mission to continue to provide consumers with "Safe, Secure and Superb" Imabari Towel products by always being positive and tackling various issues in an active, forward-looking manner. We would like to thank everyone involved and working together to achieve our goals and look forward to your continued support.
