TTQ – Total Tufting Quality Looper
ASAHI until today...
Ⅰ.
ASAHI TRADING was founded as an importer in 1940's for the carpet industry by Susumu Kawakami, who got his education in Japan (Keio Univ.) and in USA (DENISON Univ.) in 1936, and then he assumed responsibility as an officer in both Japan and China office of a German-based trading company, taking care of machinery business with Europe.
In 1940's while the German company was stopping its operation in Japan, his friend whose family ran top carpet mill in Japan asked his support, not only for himself, but also for Japanese carpet industry, Susumu Kawakami started importing required goods for carpet production from Europe to answer the desires. That was the birth of us.
In 1953, he registered it as ASAHI TRADING CO., LTD. in Kobe City. Since then the company had developed the business mainly in the carpet industry and act as both importers and exporters, and now in transactions with 26 countries.
Ⅱ.
One of ASAHI's commitments to tufted carpet industry since 1970's is continuous development and improvement of ideal cut pile looper "TTQ™" by using Japanese traditional advantageous ability "putting various functions into a small place = TTQ cut pile looper".
ASAHI in future…
To encourage laying carpets (in a broad sense, such as artificial turf, etc...) on every possible space, and for it we wish to have collaboration with every personnel and organization.
Throughout mankind’s cultural history, carpet has been not only one of the most friendly, but also influential products to human beings.
House (building) is made of 3 kinds of hard surface (ceiling, wall, floor). Floor is the only surface our body touches always, which means floor material influence greatly on both human's body and mind whether one can perceive or not. How many hours do you touch ceiling or wall in your life?
By only laying carpet, it will change stressful space into human-friendly, mild, healthy environment.
Why?
Carpet not only provide soft floor, but it also absorbs irritative noise and dazzling reflection light, and change the room condition (temperature, moisture, etc.) into human-friendly, mild and comfortable one. Carpet's cushion frees human from mental stress caused by fearing slip or fall on the floor, and of course it protects body.
Carpet catches and holds allergic, harmful dusts/particles in the air to prevent inhalation into lungs and blood.
Carpet gives full of good things...
We are proud we have been engaged in the world of this wonderful product, CARPET.
