Shattering Limitations -
Our Mission
"International certification is essential, but it's too difficult to obtain."
— We're here to change that mindset.
Even the most complex processes are achievable with the right strategy
and execution.
Obtaining International Certification is Not Impossible.
The Problem is the "How-To".
The Wall Many Companies Face
"International certification is necessary, but the requirements are overwhelming, and we don't know where to start on our own..."
JTI's Approach
It's true that the requirements are numerous. (e.g., applications, manuals, records, SDS, Mass Balance...)
No more excuses. Only solutions. We overcome these hurdles with the fastest, most optimal strategies.
We don't use complexity as an excuse.
We provide the most efficient path to make certification "achievable".
What's needed is not a passive stance, but an
unwavering determination to forge the future together.
JTI's Certification Support Scheme
We deliver results by empowering independence.
Our unique Unit Certification Scheme minimizes your burden and enables your self-reliant growth.
Efficiency Through a Unit Structure
JTI or your company acts as the Certification Head, organizing supply chain partners (or your own sites) into a "unit." This greatly simplifies and streamlines the process compared to individual certification efforts.
The Role JTI Plays
You focus on your core business. We take full responsibility for leading the specialized and complex tasks related to certification.
- Leading the Certification Process:JTI handles essential tasks requiring expert knowledge, such as negotiations with certification bodies, key document preparation support, and audit responses.
- Streamlining and Reducing Burden:With an optimized procedure, we significantly reduce your time and costs. We provide the expert support for all certification matters.
- A Step Towards Independence:By participating in the unit, you'll gain know-how, and if desired, can transition to independent certification within approximately one year.
This isn't about "handing it off."
It's the most rational form of collaboration,
designed to let you focus your resources on your
core business.

By partnering with JTI, many companies have advanced to a new stage.
Here are a few examples of the transformations we've helped achieve.
(*Company names are pseudonyms)
Company A
Fabric Manufacturer / Director of Sales
"While we knew GRS certification was essential, we nearly gave up, thinking it was impossible alone. JTI's unit scheme was a game-changer. They gave us the concrete path and the resolve we needed to take on this challenge."
Key Achievements:
Obtained GRS certification, secured new business with a major overseas client.
Company B
Fabric Wholesaler / CEO

Key Achievements:
Launched a new sustainable product line, received high praise at a European trade show, and developed new sales channels.
Company C
Dyeing Factory / Managing Director

Cleared certification requirements, maintained and expanded key accounts, and improved employee retention.
Pioneering the Future of
Japanese Manufacturing
JTI goes beyond supporting individual companies; we aim to contribute to the
sustainable development and enhanced international competitiveness of Japan's entire manufacturing industry.
Manufacturer-Led Global Expansion
We empower manufacturers themselves to take the lead in pioneering global markets. JTI draws the strategy, provides the network, and partners with you all the way through execution. We aim to build more direct and highly profitable business models.
A Platform for Technology Succession
We create a platform for collaboration where ambitious companies can transcend the boundaries of production areas and processes. We aim to consolidate the technology of manufacturers, promote "Made in Japan" value to the world, and ensure that competitive technologies and businesses are passed on to the next generation.
Solving "People" Challenges for the Future
Obtaining international certification (especially GRS/GOTS) requires addressing human rights due diligence in the supply chain. This not only meets global trade conditions but also leads to attracting and retaining talent from both home and abroad, enhancing corporate sustainability.
Why the
Global Market?
"There are no more
blue oceans in Japan."
Facing this harsh reality,
we aim for one thing—
Creating Your
Blue Ocean
As the domestic market shrinks, finding opportunities overseas is no longer an option but an essential strategy. Let's take on the challenge together to make Japan's superior technology shine again on the world stage.
Message from the CEO
Mitsuya Inagaki
CEO, JAPAN TECH INNOVATORS Co., Ltd.
Textile Exchange LCA Advisor,
Specially Appointed Professor, Shinshu University
Elevating Japanese Textiles
to Global Leadership.
Turning Sustainability into
a "Driving Force".
For years, working on the front lines of the textile industry—both in Japan and abroad, especially in sustainability—I have witnessed the world-class technology and quality that Japanese companies possess. At the same time, I have also seen firsthand that this treasure is hindered by the "wall of international standards" and the "wall of market access," preventing it from reaching its full potential.
"At this rate, Japan's exceptional textile industry will be overlooked." This strong sense of urgency, combined with my firm belief in Japanese technology, is what drove me to establish JAPAN TECH INNOVATORS. Our mission is to use the global trend of sustainability as a tailwind, allowing your technology and passion to shine once again on the world stage.
Certification, product development, market expansion... these are not goals in themselves, but means for your company to achieve sustainable growth. We want to be your "Execution Partner," thinking through the journey together, working hard, and running with you to the finish line. As someone who knows the field, I am committed to delivering concrete results, not just theoretical arguments.
Come, let's open the door to the world together. We will give our all to support your challenge.
