Plastics and other foams are used in every field of industry, and Sumiyoshi Kasei believes applications of foams will only continue to expand in the future. After consulting with the customer on product conceptualization, they build on their base of handmade production to produce sensible, reliable products. They also produce chip foam, a recyclable product made from their mainstay material, flexible urethane foam. In great demand as a cushioning material, this ecologically friend product is manufactured in-house for a uniquely textured finish in custom colors. To further decrease the burden on the environment, Sumiyoshi Kasei uses scraps and leftover materials when possible for processing and molding.
Sumiyoshi Kasei has breathed new life into traditional technology, transmitted and cultivated over the years, creating a new domain in handmade production to meet the needs of the times.
