Our mission
I started my business life with engagement in one of leading chemical products trading company immediately after graduated from university, and have acquired diversity of business knowledge and management skill in a joint venture with the world biggest photographic manufacturer US based. In 1955, I joined Matsumoto Co., Ltd who is my family business firm distributing various envelope material after 23 years occupation in above companies. At the first moment in Matsumoto, I was intensely inspired by bamboo skin products, former president was handling, without any reason. " This is no doubt my article of fortune which will be able to contribute towards coming society in the field of food packs and envelopes industry !" said my own inspiration. Since then, I have strived for penetration of natural pack products,
concentrating on further R&D of bamboo skin products so that they fit modern trend of foods. As our integral mission, we are actively promoting environmental solution in food packing field. As well as further development in Tianjin, China,
We have started to build up tight partnership with domestic cooperative productions preserving unique technology of special paper and wooden material.
