Challenges in New Businesses

Nanofiber Technology
Derived from the materials and acoustic technologies cultivated as a specialist manufacturer of gangway bellows, we have developed and are now offering high-performance lifestyle products made with nanofibers.
The "LesVIPs Nanofiber N Mask" is a face cover which reliably captures viruses and pollen, and the "nano no Hagoromo" is a lineup of lightweight fashion items that provide warmth with nano-level air layers. Both uses ultra-fine fibers that are less than 1/100th the diameter of a human hair. You will surely find these products to be reassuring and comfortable with qualities that can only be made in Japan.
