Greeting from the President
We will continue to provide new value through our absolute quality, flexible development capabilities and inventiveness, and a spirit of taking on challenges.
- Kanae Technos is a company of the Kanae Group mainly manufacturing products based on non-woven fabrics. Starting with the commercialization of wet tissues, up to the present day we have, as a cosmetics OEM company, been involved in the development and manufacture of skin care products for various kinds of customers, not only in Japan but also overseas.
- We are proud of our company’s strengths which are its flexible development capabilities and inventiveness which allow us to think ahead and cope with rapidly changing trends and overseas regulations by making full use of our domestic and international networks, and its spirit of taking on challenges to achieve its ideals as well as a production system that conforms to international quality standards such as GMP ISO 22716 for cosmetics, guaranteeing our absolute quality. In addition, we are not just a cosmetic manufacturing company, but have a wealth of non-woven fabric processing technology and know-how that we have cultivated over the years, and a track record of developing several hundreds of different formulas both in Japan and overseas so the integrated manufacturing that allows us to manufacture products from the formulation development stage to the final product is also one of our strengths.
- We believe that our mission is to constantly respond to the needs of our customers in the midst of diversifying healthy lifestyles. By allowing each and every one of our employees to work autonomously we will contribute to a sustainable society by continuing to provide new value without becoming trapped in the stereotypes of the past. We look forward to your continued patronage.

President and CEO
KANAE GROUP PHILOSOPHY
For the happiness of people,
we will create new value and contribute to health and a prosperous lifestyle.
For the happiness of all employees
We believe that companies are there to help people, and not the other way round. If our employees are able to live a fulfilling life through working in our company, we think that is a wonderful thing.
We will build a company based on the keywords of “hope,” “pride,” and “work satisfaction.” “Hope” refers to the feeling that your life will gradually become more fulfilling as you move towards the future. “Pride” means having confidence and joy in being an employee of our company. “Work satisfaction” refers to a feeling of personal fulfillment and accomplishment in working. We believe that this will lead to the happiness of our employees.
For the happiness of the people involved in the Kanae Group’s business
We believe that we can contribute by putting ourselves in the shoes of our customers in all aspects and providing them with products that are useful to them and that they feel comfortable using.
However, on the other hand, we at the Kanae Group by ourselves cannot contribute to our customers even if we think that way. We believe that in addition to building relationships of trust with people whom we carry out various transactions, we also need cooperation and support so that everyone involved in the Kanae Group’s business can feel good about doing business with the group.
For the happiness of everyone in society
We are interested in everything that people need to stay healthy and lead a comfortable and prosperous lifestyle. And we keep wondering if there’s anything we can do in that regard. Our mission is to contribute to society by creating such high-quality products and services and we believe that as a result, this will allow people to achieve health and a prosperous lifestyle, and happiness.
Furthermore, we should realize that it is our mission to preserve the Earth and its environment, which is blessed with abundant nature, forever, and we will strive to preserve the global environment as a good member of society by manufacturing products that are environmentally friendly.
Origin of the company name
The word “Kanae” in Kanae Technos is taken from a Chinese metal pot (kanae, or a pot with three legs) used to boil food, and this emphasizes the unity of a trinity by seeking commonality in the fact that it is supported by three legs and serves a purpose.
The trinity in this case refers to people, goods, and money, and is a fusion of the three forces of cooperation, effort, and perseverance. It means that the three forces maintain a balance and develop without losing that balance. As for “Technos,” it expresses the hope of becoming a company that emphasizes “technological capabilities” and “manufacturing.”
