OSAKA 

We had the opportunity to visit this small factory in the suburbs of Osaka, this family business started in 1969. Mr Hisashi the CEO is the son of the founder of the company, they started to produce steel products for the Japanese industry as boxes for the cargo ship, mecanics, vehicles...

They won the "Good Design Award" in the category "Good Design Long Life Design Award" in 2009 with the box Y-350. This box was on the market in Japan since 1984.
