Komatsu Seiren (Nomi City Kanazawa Pref., president Ken-ichi Nakayama)

is going to sell "Techno Vintage BJ", originally developed shape retention material, which is very popular among famous European brand apparel makers.

Komatsu Seiren could not supply it to the Japanese market because of huge orders from European apparel manufacturers. Recently they expanded their production capacity so that it will be available soon in Japan.

President Nakayama said that since the 1st exhibition at Premier Vision in Feb. 2003, his company has exhibited its highest performance textile products, and since then, its new products have been recognized as high performance products by famous brand apparel manufacturers around the world. Among them, Techno Vintage BJ is highly evaluated by major apparel manufacturers, which leads to huge orders. Natural fibers are a favorite of European people and apparel including metal is not to their taste. Therefore, shape retention materials not including metal have long been demanded and Techno Vintage BJ can indeed satisfy this need.
