Komatsu Matere was founded in 1943 as a textile processing manufacturer
in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Since then, we have leveraged our sophisticated and unique dyeing
and high-order post-processing technologies to realize high-level workmanshipin both fashion and sports brands not only in Japan but worldwide.
Our field of business extends beyond textiles to health, civil engineering, and vehicles,
diversifying even further into multiple other areas such as electronics and the environment.
Inspired by our slogan “Art in Technology,” we are driven to combine the craftsmanshipand sensibility we have refined so far with our core of advanced technologies,
to take our manufacturing to even more superb levels, while also opening up new markets.
As a manufacturer of chemical materials constantly generating new and original wares,
we will continue to supply our customers with wonder and excitement.

Environment-friendly regional
communities connected via materials
Through all our corporate activities and under the SDGs, we are earnestly
engaged with global issues humanity is faced with, such as global warming,
declining resources, or loss of biodiversity.
Our every effort is directed to balancing prosperity for human society withthe protection of the environment, to conserve a healthy global environment.
In 1999, we established the Komatsu Seiren (our former company name)
Environmental Management Declaration to position global environment
preservation as our management priority. Subsequently, in 2020,
we reorganized our policies into the five goals of the Komatsu Matere
Sustainability Vison in order to realize a future sustainable society.
We will endeavor to work with integrity to realize a “global environment thatallows for the coexistence of people, fibers and nature”.

We produce various products from fashion textiles to construction
materials, and they are widely distributed in global markets. Our driving
force is the passion for creating new value from scratch, through researchand development.
When a material is developed, it requires many people’s efforts and a longprocess from research to completion. Our advanced researchand development center and production sections are unified to create
innovative products.
We have expanded textile possibilities, based on our original ideas which
are free from stereotypes. We will predict future needs and work to makepeople’s lives more comfortable, with the aim to bring surprise andsensation to the world.

Evolving the technologies required
to create a disaster-resistant society
Japan is a disaster-prone country; technology to extend the lifespan ofsocial infrastructure is essential.
We are conducting various research and development projects with theaim of realizing a sustainable society.
In particular, our new earthquake-resistance reinforcement method using
the CABKOMA Strand Rod carbon fiber composite material is a technologythat allows for earthquake-resistance reinforcement work to be carriedout without requiring production in factories to be stopped.
Currently, we are working with industry, academia and government toobtain official technology evaluation by 2026.
In a society with increasing uncertainty, we must move forward without
fearing change.
We cooperate with local people, learn, improve our own expertise,
generate new ideas, and continue to lead society with strong leadership,
looking one step ahead of the times.
The No. 2 manufacturing plant was reinforced against earthquakes using CABKOMA

Seismic reinforcement is possible
without stopping factory operations
Heavy machinery to carry bracing materials, heavy scaffolding,and the removal of factory equipment are no longer necessary.
Construction can be done with minimal scaffolding, reducing
construction costs. If you are worried about the difficulty of
implementing earthquake reinforcement, this will make it easierthan you think.

Thermoplastic carbon fiber composite
material that combines traditional industry
and modern technology
This is a strand material that combines Japan’s traditional
braiding technology with modern carbon fiber technology.
The outer layer is covered with synthetic or inorganic fibers
and impregnated with thermoplastic resin. It ischaracterized by its narrow width and high tensile strength.

Core: Carbon fiber

Construction example
Our manufacturing plant (steel frame construction, floor area
approximately 7,000 m2) was constructed in 1968. Since our company
operates 24 hours a day on weekdays, the construction was completed on
weekends. It took approximately seven months by repeatedly assembling
scaffolding, installing horizontal bracing materials, and dismantling theSheath:Fiberglass

scaffolding on weekends when not in operation.

High quality, high function and other additional
properties for comfort and pleasure in this age
Sportswear and sport uniforms directly influence players’ performance. In
recent years, they are required to be not only comfortable and easy to move in
but also fashionable. We add all the required properties such as comfort andfunctionality, according to the material. Our proud dyeing skills and high-level
postprocessing technologies are expanding the possibilities of clothing inaccordance with the new age.

Chemical materials for safety and security
Our technology is also applied to materials used in places that
require safety and peace of mind. Products used in areas that
influence quality of life, such as health, are required to haveinvisible yet secure functions. We never stop seeking materials
with functions that can be exercised in the harshest ofenvironments.

KOMATSU brand creativity, supportinga wide range of industries
Our long-established technologies have been applied to products in manyindustries such as architecture and civil engineering, automobiles, electronics,
medicine and welfare, hygiene and agriculture. Demand for products withimproved functions is increasing in many fields such as paving, seismic
reinforcement of cultural assets and farm soil
improvement. Our pioneering spirit, unbounded by textile stereotypes,
is creating new standards in society.
