Message
We have been making industrial brushes for half a century. We delivered brushes to the steel industry when the company was first established, and since then we have delivered to various industries, such as civil engineering, liquid crystal, and medical care. We have neither read the times nor considered the future potential of the business. All we have done was to respond to requests of those who need brushes.
I believe that it is because we have continued to respond to the requests that we are now able to make all kinds of brushes and offer proposals that transcend industry barriers.
Brushes are less well researched than other industrial products, which is why they have great potential. I believe that we can make proposals that go one step further by asking ourselves, “What are brushes? What effect do they have?” and returning to the basics of brushes and reviewing them.
SHOWA INDUSTRIES will continue to make contributions to society based on the principle of “Responding to requests of those who need brushes.”
Yutaro Arai, President and Representative Director
