President greeting
We're making a company which delivers 'Smiles' to our customers! I'm Hiroyuki Sasahara, a representative director of Suteteko Company
I started to take over our family business from my parents when I was 24 years old. Running our apparel company was so hard that I felt forced to change my personality.
Then, when I advanced our business into internet sales and it just got on track, I lost my wife to cancer.
I learned "Importance of smile" from these very experiences that made me lose my smile.
These experiences made me determined to create a company which delivers as many smiles as possible to our customers with my employees.
My employees and I are still young, and our company is full of vitality and possibility. We'll do our best to always keep growing, advancing ourselves, and satisfying customers with our high standards and consciousness.
