Since the establishment of KANSAI WIRE NETTING in 1935, we continue to pursue new objectives to develop, from all of our factories, specialized industrial wire mesh products to meet the demanding needs of our customers as these change over time.
One of our most notable achievements was to have commenced a research and development program for stainless steel wire mesh as early as 1938.The program focused on products with high corrosion resistance in only a short time after stainless steel wire was commercially available in Japan. We were also able to develop and manufacture, in Japan in the late 1940s, high quality stainless steel conveyor belts based on product information obtained from the United States. We are proud that, through our achievements, we have made a considerable contribution to the growth of the Japanese industry in which we are represented; and, we continue to innovate. In this way, we have developed many products such as the noteworthy excellent anti-vibration stainless steel mount, filter inflator for automotive airbag systems and magnetic stainless steel KMG mesh using our unique technology.Today, we have grown into a forward looking world class manufacturing company in the stainless steel wire mesh industry as a significant member in a field of over 2,530 similar companies.
In response to the growth of our global business, we established sales offices in the United States and Singapore.In addition, we established manufacturing facilities in Thailand and China.Industrial woven wire mesh and wire conveyor belts are the main products produced in Thailand and from China production is focused on wire conveyor belts. These products are supplied to the Southeast Asia and China markets from each facility. The Termimesh System is a stainless steel mesh based solution for the protection of buildings from subterranean termites and this is supplied to world markets from the Australian subsidiary.
As an industrial wire mesh manufacturing arm of the Nippon Filcon group, we will ensure to meet our new challenges by responding to each customer requirement with the Timely, Correctly and Honestly commitment we are renowned for. With our customer relationships, we aspire to be a leading company of industrial wire mesh in Asia.
