Aiming to be "Asti, a company that respects people"
Since its establishment in 1950, ASTY has been dealing in clothing, which is a very familiar part of people's lives. Since then, we have valued the spirit of harmony and are proud to have been supported by providing products that meet people's expectations.
Now, in the apparel industry, which is the ASTY Group's main business area, and the retail industry, which is our main customer, the survival of the fittest is becoming clear, and the industry is undergoing restructuring. Companies that cannot adapt to change cannot survive, regardless of their size. Dramatic changes are occurring one after another in the market, but we want to be a company that can always accurately grasp the needs of the world and not only respond to change, but also stay one step ahead of it.
Now that we have transformed our business model from a local wholesaler, which was our livelihood, to an apparel manufacturer, we will focus on developing human resources and strengthening our organizational capabilities in order to expand our business in the future, and will work hard to strengthen our manufacturing functions and improve our planning and proposal capabilities. We will contribute to the lives and culture of end users through clothing and bags, and aim to be a ``human-respecting company ASTY'' that is recognized by everyone for its value.
