Focusing on “Health and Environment” for a bright future
Kowa Group commemorated the 130th anniversary of the foundation on December 25, 2024. With a progressive spirit to always cope with changes of the times and a steady manufacturing spirit, we develop various business activities focused on “Health and Environment” to create a new unconventional value.
Kowa’s business activities range widely from textile business continued since the foundation to import and export of a wide range of commodities, intermediate trade, research and development of OTC, prescription drugs and optical products, and their production and marketing. Furthermore, we have recently promoted green energy such as green hydrogen and ammonia, a brand called “MINOLON” that realized the world’s first product made of bagworm fiber, and a luxury brand “ESPACIO” originating from Japan. Especially in our “Health Business,” we are striving to contribute to well-being of people for extending their healthy life expectancy and to promote Japanese-style self-care by utilizing the latest AI and IoT technologies. In the “Environment Business,” we are promoting establishment of a supply chain using green and renewable energies and developing businesses considering the “Planetary Health” with the aim of achieving coexistence with all ecosystems and healthy global environment.
With a management vision of “Health and Environment” for a bright future, Kowa Group will contribute to creating a comfortable and affluent society and realizing a sustainable society by enhancing interdivisional communication and cooperation to build a new unconventional business model.
