Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Fukui, Japan, the company, which employs 149 people, reported fiscal year 2024 revenue of 8.39 billion yen, up 12.61% year-over-year, driven by strong inbound tourist demand for hotel and restaurant uniforms despite supply delays in fan-equipped workwear and rising personnel costs; in March 2025, it launched a limited-edition fan-equipped workwear model "Highback" in collaboration with Bartel Co., building on the prior year's bestseller, while planning fiscal 2025 revenue of 9.8 billion yen and pretax profit of 386 million yen through EC site enhancements and expanded corporate sales.
