YAGI & CO, LTD
The ideal partner for tomorrow's textile business The textile business is going through a period of transition responding to global changes in the market.
In this situation, we here at Yagi are taking advantage of our strength as experts in the field to actively pursue every business opportunity we can find.
Our business strength lies in our global network, our knowledge, and our know-how in all areas of the field - from raw materials and cloth to the final products - accumulated through our over 100 years of experience in the textile business.
Thanks to these strengths, we have been able to convert change into opportunity, thus better serving our customers' needs. Indeed, we have quickly reacted to the recent needs of domestic and overseas apparel manufacturers and SPA's, and are currently constructing a production system based in China and other Asian countries, one step ahead of the competition.
Business attitudes in the domestic textile industry are changing to focus more on the final product, making it indispensable to keep the concept of raw materials and cloth effectively connected to the final product. Now is the time that having expertise in all aspects of the industry is highly appreciated, so we, as textile experts, will consistently expand and deepen our total textile coordinating power.
At the same time, we will keep an eye on something new. Entering new industrial fields besides apparel, developing new textile technology through partnerships with domestic manufacturers having advanced technology, and taking on the challenge of sales in the Chinese market - all of these undertakings are still in the developing stages, but new businesses will be born and grow to be the future backbone of Yagi. We at Yagi have made a major contribution to the textile business from our inception by "making products that we can sell." In order to continue to be your best business partner, we will continue to do our best as a textile-trading firm with speed, power, and flexibility.
The textile business can be compared to a flowing river. The headwaters are the countries that produce raw materials as well as spinning companies and synthetic fiber and yarn manufacturers. The midstream are fabric manufacturers, processing companies and sewing companies who are converting yarns into textiles and products, while in the delta apparel manufacturers, SPA’s (Specialty Store Retailer of Private Label Apparel), mail order shopping companies, and fashion designers.
Yagi’s business field covers this diverse flow in its entirety, from start to finish. In the area of raw materials, we not only procure domestic and overseas yarns but also supply fabric and sporting goods manufacturers with high value-added yarns that are processed by using advanced technology.
In the fabric field, we use our business alliances with the dyeing, printing and sewing plants that have the best technological power in Japan in order to provide distinctive textiles to apparel manufacturers and fashion designers, taking advantage of our expertise in these areas. As demand grows for manufacturing of products in the textile industry, we have built a network of joint venture and affiliate plants in China and Southeast Asia on the basis of our thorough knowledge and know-how of the whole textile business, from raw materials, textile to products.
We have created a solid overseas production system. Our forte lies at providing our peerless expertise and experience on raw materials, textiles and products, as well as our ability to coordinate throughout the flow of this huge river.
Taking full advantage of our overseas production system and our growing network of domestic and foreign customers, we can offer you our comprehensive ability to help you overcome the challenges carried out by you as your business partner – from raw material procurement to product manufacturing.
More specialized, more comprehensive and more global – Yagi can fulfill all your needs in the textile business.
