JAPAN APPAREL QUALITY CENTER

"Japanese quality," cultivated to satisfy the most eagle-eyed customers, is renowned worldwide for its attention to detail and we believe it is a unique aspect of Japanese culture with global appeal.
The Japan Apparel Quality Center was established in March 2017 to contribute to the development of the entire apparel industry by enabling other companies and organizations in the apparel fashion industry to utilize the expertise and insights on quality control that the Onward Group has cultivated over the years.
The social mission of the Japan Apparel Quality Center is to help offer safe and reliable "Japan quality" products to a wide range of customers.

We provide comprehensive support for quality from the product planning phase, checking the color fastness and physical performance of materials, and checking the appearance by sample product testing, through to commercialization.
We also offer advice on proper care labeling in compliance with laws and regulations.

Follow-ups after the sale of products is also an important corporate responsibility. Customer feedback leads to quality improvement in the future. We investigate and verify the items that we are requested to test and analyze from various perspectives to find the causes of any detected phenomena of interest.

The Japan Apparel Quality Center performs factory audits with the aim of fostering companies that earn the trust of society and achieving production systems that ensure stable delivery of high-value-added products to customers.
Deficiencies in CSR and QC systems at factories are not only subject to criticism in society, but also major obstacles to sustainable manufacturing operations.
The Japan Apparel Quality Center performs audits employing the CSR audit guidelines based on global standards as well as its own proprietary quality control audit guidelines and conducts follow-ups after the audits.

In addition to sewing machines, press machines, and other sewing equipment, we have various repair facilities at our premises, and our dedicated staff respond to repair needs meticulously and promptly.
