Outstanding development capabilities cultivated through experience in responding to customer needs - “OK, we’ll manage it!”
Key products of Ohshin Co., Ltd have always been produced in response to their customers' needs.
Ohshin, who had originally dealt with business use products for restaurants, have realized many customers’ wishes — improvement of the kitchen environment, reduction of workers’ burden or higher customer satisfaction with their food — with various kinds of products such as work shoes, aluminum products or Induction Heating kitchen equipment. As Japanese food culture has spread around the world, these products have also been widely applied.
For happiness of workers and smiles of families who enjoy their meal time together, Ohshin continues to strive to develop their products that bear new values close together with their customers.
Founded in 1907, a long-established company in business for over 100 years
Ohshin Yoko, the predecessor of Ohshin Co., Ltd., was established in 1907 (Meiji 40) as a bullion dealer. They have later extended their businesses to work shoes business, aluminum business, and kitchen appliance business. Thus, they have supported people in the restaurant industry in Japan, and their development for over 100 years.
"Can you please work something out?" “OK, we’ll manage it!” ― the word of willing-to-change spirit
Oshin originally started out as a trading company without their original products. They carried boots as a work shoes but one day a restaurant owner asked one of their sales rep if they carry non-slip boots since his staff who wore normal work boots slipped and got injured. Although there were no existing products that came to his mind, he just wanted to respond to the voice of the customer " Can you please work something out?"... As a response " OK, we’ll manage it!", they have developed non-skid rubber boots on our own, and it was their start as a manufacturer.
Also Induction compatible products, the key products of their current business, are developed in response to a request from a customer saying "The era of Induction Heating is starting. We will need to have Induction compatible clay pots that cook as good as on gas.
Even though they are originally not a maker, if there are customers who are in trouble, they respond to them by making by themselves. They will develop a new product with passion if they never had manufactured before, by fully utilizing the technologies and knowledge they have. The willing-to-change spirit has nurtured their outstanding development capabilities.
Expertise gained through continual improvement process
As a manufacturer who carries out the whole process from development to retail sales, Ohshin has always been close to customers and listening to their voice. .In order to respond to minute and various demands that can't be achieved by machines, skilled craftsmen are making subtle adjustment while checking its finish one by one to realize ideal products, even at the highly mechanized manufacturing premises today. In addition, to materialize every single detail, they repeat improvement many times to complete one product. All these efforts support their development capability that cannot be easily copied by others.
