The world is borderless.
The exciting movement to the new century has begun.
Naigai has positively done business and developed on the world market, for example importing form Europe. This is possible because of the deep reliance, partnerships and communication with, Lanka Naigai (Sri Lanka,) Roekel, (Germany,) Conroy (America,) Mario Portolano (Italy,) and Well Mart (Taiwan.)
We can experience the culture and history of the world. Through this we have improved. For business a network is very important. It takes time but our network is vast and varied.
The world already has no borders.
Both man and time are constantly moving. Change in Japan too is dizzy. Keeping in mind world change, being flexible, and valuing connections chances for new business arise.
With the construction of a third factory in Sri Lanka, a joint venture in Indonesia and advance in our snowboard glove line, Naigai continues to grow.
The Sri Lanka factory is a lifeline for Naigai. Again new products are born with our skill and information gained from Europe.
On the plane from Europe I changed from a warm winter coat to a T-shirt. With this my feelings changed. I did not take the same feelings I had in Europe to Sri Lanka. I keep in my mind that I have to communicate differently in all countries. It is the tips that play an active part in the world market.
The 550 staff in Sri Lanka are using the newest information we have brought from Europe. Since production began in 1990, with the help of the Sri Lanka staff we have favorably achieved many things, keeping our catchphrase in mind;“work together, grow up together.”
Construction of the third factory is due to begin in July of this year.
No matter how many times I visit, Italy is always a wonderful country.
Their fashion is outstanding.
I again met the father and son behind Porutorano. They are both my business acquaintances and friends. They are the agents in the Italian market. We buy the popular Peppe brand from them to sell in the domestic market.
In Italy the next years business plan was confirmed.
With the cooperation of many people our business is successful.
For both Naigai and I, such a personal business network is important.
Flying above the Alps
Their beauty makes me feel at ease.
It is pleasurable that on such a trip I can see beautiful scenery.
At Tokushima airport, before departing,
I looked at my list of business appointments; to attend international sports shows (ISPO) at various companies like, Descente, Goldwin and Roeckl; to collect information on leather. In addition to lunch with old friends and the chance to attend a concert, all makes for a pleasant trip.
I met various people in the halls of ISPO, from Japan, Europe and Taiwan. I realize how small the world is. There are no borders. Man is changing.
At Roeckl, a partner of 13 years, there is a meeting about the spring and summer cycling glove range.
Their female staff also play a prominent role.
In the lobby there was a decorated board, with a heart symbolizing the gratitude for the people who have supported their company for 157 years, since it’s foundation. The heart represents tradition. To Europeans the heart and culture is also important. Humanity is important to business.
After business the Roeckl family invited me to a spectacular music concert.
