Toban Textile Co., Ltd.

The Banshu production region of Japan has an over 200-year history of creating yarn-dyed cotton fabric. Toban Textile Co., Ltd. is a local company currently doing everything from dying to weaving and processing all in-house. Its cohesive production system enables the company to set up a system for consistent quality control and maintain a sense of speed when responding to customer requests or developing new products. The company’s efforts to develop new products will now be used for the creation of dress shirts.

Toban Textile was founded in 1943. It makes use of its long history of knowledge about dying charts and computer colour matching systems to realise precise and speedy colour matching for dyed yarns. It currently operates 95 air jet and rapier looms for weaving. The rapier looms the company has acquired in recent years enables it to weave any kind of material, with the ability to even control weave tightness. Toban Textile has used these looms to develop a range of textiles, including ultra-fine count textiles and extremely tightly weaved materials.

For textile processing, Toban Textile also owns raising machines, resin treatment machines, and liquid ammonia processing machines that can expand fibres, impart lustre, or soften materials. Recently, the company has purchased additional resin treatment machines with a wide range of functions, allowing Toban Textile to realise a diverse range of expressiveness in its textiles in line with customer needs.

Toban Textile is able to manufacture to customer needs thanks to its development capabilities based on its comprehensive production system. Even though the company has never before worked with the yarn used to make shirts this time, it was able to produce a high-quality textile that emphasises the special qualities of the yarn thanks to the close collaboration that occurs between those working for each step in the in-house production process.
