Founded in 1942, ATOM Corporation is a specialist provider of rubber gloves and boots across multiple industries. And while much of the attention thus far has been on the domestic market in Japan, overseas opportunities continue to be explored.
"We began manufacturing work clothes for the naval arsenal, but at the end of the war in 1945, our facilities were destroyed and we had to start from scratch," explains company president, Yuichiro Taira.
"The company started to sell its products overseas from around 1960.
"We have all the processes of sewing, spinning and rubber processing in-house, which is the soil for creating unique items,"
Mr. Taira adds. "That is our strength. In addition, focusing on the way of looking at things' to develop markets and expand applications is the cornerstone of our development.
