Business description Uniform Division Made-to-order Business Uniforms

Made-to-order Business Uniforms

We plan, design, and manufacture the made-to-order uniforms according to the type of business. We can propose original designs truly reflecting a customer’s corporate brand, accommodating all the customer’s requests and needs in their own unique fields, including tourism, logistics, hospitality, and of course, office work. Our support begins with the careful selection of highly functional materials.

Uniforms as a Branding Tool

A uniform is the aggregation of needed functionality that raises work efficiency. In addition to the uniforms corresponding to the Cool Biz and Warm Biz schemes, we also make highly functional work uniforms to satisfy the needs of those who work in specialized work environments. Uniforms can also be used as corporate image building and/or branding tools. We provide products that assist business management, advising you to develop the best uniform to achieve your unique goals.

Production of Uniforms in Accordance with Sustainable Development Goals

Chikuma focuses on environmentally friendly uniform development, seriously making efforts toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. We are the first company in the industry engaging in recycling businesses, through our establishment of a system for collecting and recycling used uniforms and our certification under the Wide Area Approval System. We also support our business partners’ environmental activities.

Selection of Materials that Meet Needs from Substantial Materials Catalogues

With materials ready for any work environment, we have introduced a system that allows clients to select materials from regular catalogues. We are even capable of producing a small lot of products, even when developing unique products to meet a wide range of needs. We always have roughly 700 kinds of fabric on hand, jointly developing new materials with material manufacturers.
