Towards to 100 years company

Today's innovation, Tomorrow's world

Kindai Co., Ltd.'s slogan for 100 years company is "Today's innovation, Tomorrow's world."
This slogan means the spirit that has been passed down for many years since its founding, "to change the world with modern technology."

It is said that there are about 3 million small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, but among them, well-established enterprises that have been in business for over 100 years are 1% of the total is about 30,000 companies. The country where so many well-established companies exist is Japan, no matter where you look in the world, Japan is undoubtedly the world's leading long-established company.

75 years since its establishment. Kindai history began with the manufacture and sale of household and industrial sewing machines, beginning with the request for overhaul of sewing machines. Looking back on the times, Kindai Co., Ltd., which was founded shortly after World War II, overcame many rough times such as high economic growth, oil shock, bubble economy and collapse, long-term recession, and numerous natural disasters. We have continued to grow to this day.

It takes 25 years to be called 100 years company, which may be a tremendous dream story. However, Kindai Co., Ltd. must be grateful for the gifts of support and assistance, with the spirit of "Today’s innovation, Tomorrow’s world" from the founding era as a 100 years company. I hope you will look forward to the future of KINDAI, and I ask for your continued confidence and support.
