PROFILE |
 |
Fuji Spinning puts a spin on cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. The company specializes in developing value-added, functional textile products such as Spanfresh, a moisture-absorbing and -releasing elastane yarn used primarily in underwear. Other products include Chitopoly, an apparel fiber woven with catechin, a substance extracted from the shells of crab and shrimp that gives it odor-preventing and antibacterial properties. Fuji Spinning also produces and markets BVD-brand undergarments and shirts in Japan through a licensing agreement with Fruit of the Loom. Because of a decreased demand for polynosic rayon, Fuji Spinning has become one of Japan's last textile companies to continue producing that fiber.
