Chori supplies materials made of recycled plastic bottles to both Japan and overseas, centered on Europe, the U.S., and the ASEAN region, and develops its own original yarn. By drawing on our expertise in optimal global procurement through the use of our overseas network, we will market recycled products for use in materials and apparel as a part of our vast business growth.

Chori’s high-quality, high-performance materials made in Japan and its fabrics developed at production sites in Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and other countries are deployed to a variety of markets around the world. We supply fabrics to markets not only in Japan but also in China, South Korea, and other parts of Asia; the Middle East; Europe; and the United States.

Chori handles a range of materials and products, such as nonwoven fabrics that are soft on the skin and perfect for babies, printed waterproof film that can reproduce high-quality images in a variety of designs, and cleaning wipes made of special raw cotton that are highly effective against tough-to-remove stains. We are also in the development stages of moisture-permeable and waterproof sheets, which will be mass produced and offer a combination of durability, thermal insulation, antifungal properties, sound insulation and absorption, and other high-performance features that have been cultivated in the market for construction materials. We will work to maintain a high reputation for safety throughout Asia and remain highly committed to helping promote our customers’ sales worldwide.

In the Automotive Materials and Fabrics Department, Chori sells polyester yarn, particularly the kinds used in materials for car seats, as well as handling fabrics used on car seats and other products. We boast a market share of over 40% in Japan for the raw materials we handle and over 30% for fabrics. Harnessing these strengths, Chori is expanding its business aggressively overseas. Going forward, we will team up with the world’s major players to develop a solid global network and provide raw materials and fabrics that clearly separate us from the competition.

Outside of Japan, Chori is expanding its business of designing and manufacturing uniforms, which are expected to be highly functional in a range of work settings. For our high-value-added products utilizing environment-friendly and functional materials, we have established production lines in Japan, China, and the ASEAN region. Moreover, with Japan, China, and Cambodia serving as hubs, our men’s suits and clothing materials are being procured and sold in the most suitable locations.
