Message
Thank you for visiting our website. Our company was founded in 1937 by Saburo Kodama as Kodama Sewing Company. The company was called Bingo 21st Sewing Co., Ltd for a while before the name was changed to Asahicho Sen-i Co., Ltd in 1965. We celebrated our 80th anniversary. I would like to sincerely thank everybody for their warm support and patronage over the years. Every since our company was founded, we have always kept quality as our first priority and developed various workwear that meet the needs of the times. We have always been ahead of the times with our workwear including antistatic workwear, Gore-Tex® (waterproof) workwear, pocketless (contamination prevention) workwear, high-visibility workwear, etc., which is allowing people to work safely without worry at workplaces all over Japan. We will continue to work diligently to contribute to society by providing useful workwear without forgetting our integrity to our customers. We hope that you will continue to guide and support us. We hope that visiting our website will allow you to better understand our company and to gain a sense of familiarity for our workwear.
