Kouichi Morichika Chairman of General Affairs Committee Our Cooperative is located in Maruoka-cho, Fukui Prefecture, where about 85 percent of woven labels in Japan are manufactured. The mainstream of labels in the world is the woven label which can be mass-produced by rapier and needle looms. We have about 2,500 shuttle looms in Maruoka for flexible production in a short delivery period. Maruoka is one of the biggest production districts in the world. As you know, a woven label gives high-density, high-quality, yet delicate product. It is soft and comfortable with selvages. Our Cooperative has developed a raw polyester color yarn with luster, which can endure various processes such as high temperature and high pressure. The yarn is provided exclusively for woven labels. We can supply safe and high-quality woven labels all over the world. The Cooperative has established an information network system of about 1,000 looms possessed by 26 companies. The system is good for satisfying customers' demands, and for getting new business chances by delivering a large volume of products of equal quality in a short period. For example, if you search for 24 mm wide satin polyester with a white warp, you can find in a moment how many looms can be used and when the production of the polyester can be started. You can find how many looms are necessary to deliver 1,000,000 labels per month, and which company can meet the customer's demand. We would like to find new demands for shuttle labels by utilizing the network. Active use of this system leads development of our business for the next generation. We look forward to you accessing the network.
