Tokutake Corporation’s “Ayumi shoes” product line now provides safe comfortable walking shoes and rehabilitation care for people with disabilities and the elderly. Mr. Sogo brought his company’s shoes as well as thanks letters from their clients, which ammount to 70 letters per day and more than 20,000 in one year. He said it was a big challenge to make up his mind to manufacture a pair of shoes with different size for right and left feet and also sell one individual shoe not a pair. Because it was against the practice in the industry. Altogether about 8.5 million pair of Ayumi shoes have been sold and its market share grew to the top. He has been in CEO position for 30 years and his dedication and commitment to create a positive company culture was very impressive from his speech! We will continue to invite positive business leaders from now on. Stay tuned!

More than 50% of Japanese companies decide to withdraw from the business within one year and 90% of them are gone after 5 years in Thailand. The GDP per capita of Thailand is as same as that of Japan in 1970’s and wages for Thailand worker has doubled in recent 8 years. However, under such a hard circumstance, Mr. Ando has been very successful in Thailand since he started his business when he was only 26. He worked hard to master local Thailand language within 2 months and he talks to local staff in their own language in order to communicate better. He is very optimistic about all the accidents such as floods, demonstrations and the coup and yet always pay careful attention to Japanese representatives staff working at overseas branches. We have learned a lot from his positive attitude and delicate yet dynamic management style. His company will surely continue to contribute to future economic development of Asian countries.
