History of SHINDO
SHINDO started in 1970 as a small textile manufacturer. From its inception, the company emphasized the importance of “supporting materials that enhance clothing” and took on the challenge of the garment accessory industry. Over time, it expanded its business by establishing more factories and venturing overseas, starting with Hong Kong.
In the 1990s, SHINDO ventured into new fields and transitioned from being a manufacturer that passively waited for orders to one that proactively proposed new products. Around this time, the company launched its product catalog, “S.I.C.,” and established bases in New York and Paris, solidifying its global business expansion.
In 2010, the company changed its name to SHINDO and focused on improving production efficiency and strengthening its operations. It also built environmentally conscious factories and established an integrated system to handle all processes in-house.
In 2019, SHINDO celebrated its 50th anniversary and continues to strive for high-quality manufacturing while aiming to be an environmentally friendly company.
