A message from the management

Helping make everyone’s lives more comfortable

Living with good-quality things helps us enjoy our lives.

This aesthetic has encouraged us to devote ourselves to manufacturing high-grade enameled products.

Takara Standard started business in 1912 as a pioneer of enameled products. Thus, we have been engaged in manufacturing these types of products for more than 100 years. In 1962, our company succeeded in developing the first enameled kitchens in the world.

We saw our top priority to be contributing to the improvement of everyone’s quality of life. In our quest, we came across an unprecedented material: high-grade enamel.

We devoted our efforts to applying this great material in the following ways. Since kitchens and bathrooms are so important to a comfortable life, we think that it is really important for customers to be able to actually see, touch, and be satisfied with our products before making a purchasing decision. This idea led us to establish about 160 community-based showrooms across Japan. This is the largest number of such showrooms in the industry. We also have reasonable and transparent prices that correctly reflect a fair market value for our products.

We intend to keep contributing to people’s quality of life, through our business of providing high-quality enameled and other water-using household equipment. This purpose is our driving force.

Our mission has been and will continue to be making everyone’s lives more comfortable.
