Integrated manufacturing from fibers to the final products

Dress shirts are indispensable to our business. We have an integrated manufacturing system for dress shirts – from fiber to final product.
Our manufacturing sites are not only spread across Japan, but also in other countries, such as China, Indonesia and India. We have set up a global manufacturing and sales system that utilizes those sites flexibly under a concept of "manufacturing in the best location, then selling in the best location".

As the top manufacturer for non-iron shirts

We have maintained a lead over our competitors in other countries in developing and selling fabrics for non-iron shirts. We have conducted continuous R&D to achieve the highest performance, and established our position as the top manufacturer. We have also reinforced our collaborative relationship with the shirtmaker companies in our group (i.e. CHOYA, Naigai Shirts) to develop the very latest in non-iron shirts.

Handling wide range of product types

We handle a variety of fabrics ranging from materials to be used for work clothes, such as uniforms for factories and offices, and lab coats for medical facilities, etc. to fabrics to accommodate various tastes in ladies fashion and home furnishings as demanded for a broad choice of lifestyles. We can be termed a textile all-rounder. We promote manufacturing and propose our products to customers while seeking the "quality", "feel" and "functionality" demanded of each product type.

Determining suitable manufacturing sites

We have expanded our manufacturing sites into Indonesia and China on the assumption that "Nisshinbo quality is to be maintained". On the other hand, we promote cooperation with domestic dye works to handle the widest possible range of products. We utilize those manufacturing sites to the full, both within and outside Japan, for every stage of manufacturing, such as spinning, weaving and processing, and set up the most suitable manufacturing system for each type of product. We seek production suited to our ever-changing times.

Development based on differentiated materials

Japanese jeans continue to attract attention around the world. A number of companies, namely major jeans manufacturers, so-called national brands (NB), brand-name apparel companies who focus on high-end design, and specialty store retailer of private label apparel (SPA) who use a massive network of stores for mass marketing, define fashion. The strength of our planning development and quality control to produce the denim material used in such jeans play a considerable part in the quality of the finished products. Our reputation has been earned because we focus on this point. Our denims are always related to the jeans that are produced.

Expansion of overseas development

With the relentless advance of globalization, high quality and feel to the touch "Japanese denim" has caught the attention of premium jeans manufacturers around in the world. We have also ramped up our exports to cope with this trend. Denim containing environmentally friendly banana fibers in the weave attracted particular attention at Premiere Vision (Paris), at which we have been exhibiting since 2007. Denim originating from Japan is sure to become more popular throughout the world.

Clean and ecological non-woven fabric – "Oikos"

The spunlace manufacturing method that uses water jets to finish the fibers in a sheet format is adopted for Oikos non-woven fabrics. These hydro-processed nonwovens made of natural cotton are very safe and hygienic. They do not give off harmful substances even when incinerated. This is an ecological non-woven fabric that decomposes naturally if buried in earth.

Multipurpose uses for Oikos non-woven fabrics

Oikos nonwovens have many applications, from cosmetics and sundry goods to industrial. In particular, we have been developing products in cooperation with major domestic manufacturers for cosmetic goods and medical/hygiene goods that make best use of its characteristics. These products have been highly evaluated. Our 100% cotton wet-wipe used in restaurants and first-class carriages on trains are also highly regarded as being strong but gentle in use.

"Mobilon" is useful wherever there is a need to stretch

"Mobilon" is a brand of Spandex (polyurethane elastic fiber) developed by Nisshinbo Textile using its proprietary technology. It is highly regarded for its smooth stretchiness, high shape stability, and comfort when worn. It has been used across a wide range of categories, such as pantyhoses, socks, inner and outerwear, sportswear and materials.

Usefulness of "Thermal Adhesive Mobilon" contributes everywhere

"Thermal Adhesive Mobilon" is a revolutionary spandex derived from cutting-edge polymer science and fiber spinning technology. It is characterized by Spandex being heat-sealed to each other by the heat generated when processing the fabric. This affords many useful functions, such a ladder proofing, and curl, fray and shrink resistance for fabrics. Four different thermal adhesive temperature zones are available, and these can be flexibly combined with various materials. With innumerable potential applications, including ladder-proof stockings and seamless garments, Thermal Adhesive Mobilon has garnered worldwide renown.

Global manufacturing and sales system

Nisshinbo Textiles' first focus was on producing spun yarn. Our original yarn business is positioned at the center of a global network linking sites within and outside Japan. Developed and QR (quick response) yarns manufactured by our domestic plants, and general yarns manufactured by affiliate plants in China and India are mostly supplied to domestic markets. We also actively promote the sale of original "Nisshinbo quality" yarns to overseas markets.

Global technological transfers

Technological transfers via genuine Nisshinbo employees are indispensable to maintain "Nisshinbo quality". In order to carry the yarn business, which was the starting point for Nisshinbo Textiles, forward to the next generation, we provide thorough education and instruction to employees not only at our domestic plants, but also at our overseas affiliates. We continue to promote the sales of Nisshinbo original yarn around the world by guaranteeing "Nisshinbo quality" throughout our global network.
