Since our founding in 1951, we at Yukigaya Chemical Industry Co. have made steady progress as a dedicated manufacturer of special foams. At the time of our founding, Yukigaya initially produced natural rubber cushioning (e.g. for mattresses and bra pads) and packings, supporting the lives and livelihoods of the Japanese people in an era of austerity. In the 1960s, Yukigaya began to produce cosmetic sponges and reached a major turning point in 1976. In that year, we succeeded in replacing natural rubber, which had been the material from which cosmetic sponges were made, with synthetic rubber. Through this change in our thinking, Yukigaya came to be recognized as having the largest share of the market of any company worldwide. Ever since, Yukigaya has continued to develop its markets throughout the world, serving the diverse needs of cosmetics manufacturers pursuing worldwide sales strategies. Through this, Yukigaya has never settled for the status quo, instead emphasizing its ongoing work to develop new products.
