Our Philosophy & History

Leading Company in High-Performance Brushes

Creating the market ourselves. Anticipating the needs of the next generation without being swayed by the times. Toeisangyo, which pioneered the development of cleaning brushes from rabbit hair to chemical fibers in Japan for copier cleaning, embodies the concept of always looking ahead and cultivating the technical prowess to meet those demands. Since its foundation, the company has led the industry with brush technology in areas ranging from cleaning of information-related equipment to static elimination and transfer. This energy is characteristic of a development-oriented corporate attitude.

Presently, Toeisangyo is taking on the challenge of realizing high-performance devices applicable to various fields, not limited to electronic photography. As a leading company in high-performance brushes, we will continue to engage in innovative technology development.
