Twins’ Vision

Providing a small lifestyle revolution.

To make everyone’s life even richer and more comfortable…
Twins Corporation strives to become a company that makes tomorrow even more convenient than yesterday.

In everyday life, we are surrounded by many kinds of commodities. Some are high-technology products, while others are convenient tools that have been commercialized from clever yet simple ideas. Where do these products originate? In actuality, they are not produced in factories or in the brains of technical experts. Most are born from inspiration from our everyday lives.

“It’d be great to have a simple solution to this inconvenience.”
“How convenient would it be if we had something like this!”

The power to produce new products comes from thoughts rooted in our everyday lives. At Twins, therefore, we start our product development listening to what the market says and acquiring information. Our fundamental standpoint is to always look at things from the mindset of our consumers. We spare no effort to fulfill the current needs of our consumers quickly. We strive to create a rich lifestyle culture that makes tomorrow even more convenient than yesterday.

We carry out planning, development, and sales of products needed to enrich everyone’s lives based on the keywords “Health,” “Comfort,” and “Convenience.”

We strive to provide well-being and a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction to the people who are involved in working for the company.

We make it our goal to become a company trusted by our customers, employees, and society.

As a fabless developer and manufacturer, we are flexible and fast on our feet.

Greetings from Management

As a project planning and development company, Twins Corporation has been involved in the development and the sales of “Caterpyrun: shoe strings you don’t have to tie,” cookware, seasonal tools, and kitchen appliances since the establishment of the company in April 1999.

We strive to develop products based on our motto: “Committed to everyone’s health and comfort.” As a company, we are responsible not only for improving quality and safety, being environmentally conscious, and making social contributions: we are also committed to assessing our customers’ ever-changing lifestyles to deliver to society products that make everyone even more healthy and comfortable.

In addition, the name of our company, “Twins,” was created with our various partners in mind. We strive to be pairs - twins - with our partners. Whether company to staff, company to client companies, company to end users, or company to partnering plants, it is our goal to meet our partners face-to-face and develop win-win relationships. We developed the name of our company with that thought in mind.

We are committed to work hard to build good, long-lasting relationships with our partners and to provide attractive products that turn our customers into our life-long fans.
