Corporate Information
Kyowa Leather Cloth Co., Ltd. was established on August 1, 1935.
We continue to meet the limitless challenges, as we move towards becoming a century-old company.
Message from the President
Ever since our founding in 1935, our company has worked as a manufacturer of upholstery and covers for automobiles, residential interiors and shoes, to create products that offer a richer and more comfortable lifestyle with greater peace of mind for our customers through our sales of urethane synthetic leather, vinyl chloride leather and film products.
We are now moving towards a major revolution, one that only occurs once in a century. As our customers’ needs are radically changing, we will make even greater efforts to rapidly develop highly functional and visually appealing products, providing a proven level of quality to make our customers happy. We also aim to evolve as a manufacturer of wholly original parts and products with high added value, as we continue to meet the challenge of expanding our sales and forging ahead into new markets both inside and outside of Japan, and strive for the ongoing development of the entire group.
We will celebrate the 100th anniversary of our company's founding in 2035. Our desire is to work for the achievement of SDGs and carbon neutrality, and to carry out corporate activities that are beneficial for the Earth and for humanity alongside our stakeholders, as a company that is rooted in the local community yet continues to grow. We sincerely hope for even stronger support in the upcoming years from our customers.
