PRESIDENT GREETING

Continuing, Connecting and
Weaving the future from Japan
Aiming to be a 100-year company through "Sampo-yoshi"
(Japanese for “good for all three sides”: good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society)

I am Takashi Okamoto, President and Representative Director.
The history of ITOCHU MODEPAL CO., LTD. can be traced back to Nakazawa Fuhaku Kogyo K.K., which was founded in December 1939. I am truly honored to serve as the 17th president, and I strongly feel the responsibility of carrying on the tradition and passing the baton to the next generation.

Our business is OEM/ODM production of high quality fashion apparel for women and men, known as luxury upper-middle, in Japan and abroad. While the main focus is on Japanese production areas, we also do this in China and ASEAN production areas. As a group of garment manufacturing professionals, we are passionately and carefully tackling each and every task that requires a high level of expertise, from material proposals to quality and delivery management, under the slogan "Continuing, Connecting and　Weaving the future from Japan".

The corporate philosophy of ITOCHU Corporation, our parent company, is "Sampo-yoshi" (good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for the world). We respect this spirit of "Sampo-yoshi" and will continue to do our best for the industry, and we look forward to your continued support and patronage.
