Message from the President
Since its foundation in 1953, Fuji Glove has been a leather work glove manufacturer that has been engaged in integrated production across all stages from leather tanning to finished gloves, under the three mottos of “price stability,” “quality stability,” and “supply stability.”
Our aim is to be “one step ahead of our competitors,” and our early overseas production has contributed to our reputation in Japan today.
In addition, we have been providing our products to major companies for years.
We started providing special gloves to firefighters, police officers, and military personnel 20 years ago and are among the leading domestic providers of gloves today.
Based on our 20 years of experience in Japan, we launched our overseas sales operations in 2021.
We will continue to develop products to meet the demands of our overseas customers, and strive to provide them with product satisfaction and confidence.
Hiroyuki Fukumoto, President and CEO
