Two years after building our first factory in China, we happened to visit Ho Chi Minh City. We were impressed by Vietnamese people’s close resemblance and similarity to Japanese.
After the visit, we started the business in Vietnam. However, as we failed to yield results, we almost decided to give up Vietnamese business and pull out of it. Then, my interpreter, who had long been accompanying me, said “There are many workforces available in my hometown due to the poverty and lack of job opportunities”. The interpreter might feared that he might lose his job. Soon afterward, I went to his hometown and, then and there, decided to build a new factory.
More than a decade has passed. In the interval, I have been at the point of giving up LANLAN several times. However, it is happy to say now that this factory has achieved remarkable growth, contributing a lot to Yumine Sewing’s sales.

When we visited China for the first time in 1990, we were impressed and shocked that some Japanese companies had already expanded their businesses to China, and believed that it was the time to build a factory and start manufacturing in China. So, we have started exploring possibilities to build a production base in China. After two years of exploration and preparation, we built our first factory located outside Japan. This has contributed to the boost of overseas expansion.

In 2005, Taixing Dream Fashion was founded as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (WFOE) by the funds of Japanese companies. After the process of trials and errors, this factory has been highly praised by clients. We are trying to increase productivity and profitability of this factory.
