In Futaba Town, Fukushima Prefecture, where all residents have been evacuated due to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, a new textile company in Gifu Prefecture will build a factory, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held on the 1st. ..
The factory will be built in Futaba Town, Fukushima Prefecture, at the textile company "Asano Twisted Thread" headquartered in Gifu Prefecture, and President Masami Asano, a graduate of Fukushima University, has decided to expand into the area to help with reconstruction.
On the 1st, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at an industrial complex in the Nakano area, and about 30 people concerned, including Mayor Shiro Izawa, gathered.
Then, after the priest gave a congratulatory speech, the people concerned held a squeeze ceremony and prayed for the safety of the construction.
At the new factory, in addition to making threads with excellent water absorption and quick-drying properties that are also used by luxury fashion brands, we are planning to manufacture and sell towels using those threads, aiming to start operations again in April next year. ..
In addition, about 20 out of 30 employees are expected to hire people who live in Futaba Town, their hometown.
President Asano said, "I hope our factories and towels will serve as a priming water for more visitors to this area."
Mayor Izawa said, "I am confident that you will be interested in the arrival of an interesting company. I hope that it will greatly contribute to your life as a place for the returning residents to work."
