The demand for Work clothing is strong, but due to Covid-19, the operation of the outsourcing factory in China was unstable in the previous fiscal year.

It seems that work clothes with enhanced functionality have been developed and aimed at expanding exposure through advertising on social media.

JICHODO has introduced electronic catalogs for sales support of sales agents as well as strengthening its online shopping.
