Since 1975
Founded in 1975, our company is a sewing factory that began in Kawai Village, Hida City, Gifu Prefecture—an area
surrounded by mountains.In its early days, during Japan’s period of rapid economic growth, it was an era when
products sold as soon as they were made.
Later, we made a major shift toward overseas production, and today our manufacturing is centered in
Vietnam.Yumine Sewing Co., Ltd. conducts its sales activities in Japan, while overseas we focus on operating our
own factories, factory management, and technical guidance.
Through these efforts, we strive every day to produce and supply products that fully satisfy our customers.
In 1992, we established Nantong Yumine Fashion Co., Ltd., a Japan–China joint venture factory in Nantong City,
China. Since then, we have actively expanded our overseas production, with a particular focus on Vietnam.
Today, our production bases include one factory in Jiangsu Province, China, one in Phu Yen Province,
Vietnam, and one in Nghe An Province, Vietnam, employing a total of 2,000 staff.
Since our founding in 1975, Yumine Sewing has built strong partnerships with a wide range of manufacturers as
a sewing and processing company for women’s and men’s casual wear, and continues to develop and produce
high-quality products.

Sales Strategy
Leveraging the production capacity of our overseas factories, we maintain high quality while ensuring
stable, large-scale manufacturing capabilities.
To meet our customers’ needs at the highest level, we continuously strengthen our operational systems.
Overseas Factory Strategy
Unlike a decade or more ago, when many Japanese companies actively expanded into China, production costs
there have continued to rise. Today, manufacturing in China has become increasingly challenging due to
factors such as securing labor and rising expenses.
Yumine Sewing has enhanced productivity through the adoption of the Toyota Production System and reduced
labor costs by introducing the latest machinery. Even in a deflationary environment, we continue to
strengthen our overseas production framework to remain competitive and resilient.
Future Business Development
In this era of severe economic downturn, the apparel industry is becoming increasingly challenging.
However, it is also true that within the industry, there are companies that have overturned conventional
norms and are achieving exceptional profits through unique product development, production methods, and
management strategies.
We are confident that we, too, will successfully navigate and overcome this era.
