In 1962, the previous president, Koji Toribe, established Toribe Seisakusho as a manufacturer of "cast iron cloth-cutting scissors," which were the mainstream at the time. After that, stainless steel materials started to become more widely used, and Toribe Seisakusho was one of the first in the industry to start manufacturing scissors using stainless steel. Since the founding, Toribe Seisakusho has continued to hone its unique technology and has been making products that meet the needs of the times based on the know-how it has cultivated over the years.
