Gunze’s products and services can be seen virtually everywhere,
from your home and town to offices, factories, and many other places.
Innerwear
Because our products directly contact the wearer’s skin, we pursue maximum wearing comfort for our customers.
To meet increasingly diversified consumer needs, Gunze offers a wide array of innerwear brands based on individual concepts. YG innerwear serves as a “conditioner” between a dress shirt and the wearer’s skin, using the finest cotton to provide maximum softness. BODY WILD created a new category of boxer briefs, introducing fashionability to men’s underwear. KIREILABO is designed to feel comfortable on women’s skin.
Film for Wallpaper
Gunze’s FUNCRARE film makes it easy to wipe off everyday dirt from wallpaper using a wet cloth or neutral detergent. It also absorbs and deodorizes offensive odors by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms attached on the wallpaper surface. Because this film is so soft, it makes close contact with the wallpaper’s base material, thus accommodating various wall designs.
Pajamas
Shrink Film
Gunze’s shrink films are used for plastic beverage bottle labels as well as packaging films for toiletry items and other daily-use products. Designed to shrink when heated, the shrink films are versatile enough to accommodate virtually any application that demands resistance to heat, cold weather, solvents, and oil by taking advantage of the raw material’s advanced properties. The film’s softness prevents injury to the user’s fingers when tearing off along a perforation, while snugly fitting containers for high-quality finish.
Landscaping and Greening
(Sales of Flowers and Greenery)
To create comfortable living environments with abundant flowers and greenery, Gunze supplies seedlings and plant materials necessary for greening public spaces. It also sells flowers and trees to enhance any environment. The landscaping business also is designed to create a space for mental and physical relaxation.
Thin-walled Fluororesin Tubes
Gunze’s thin-walled fluororesin tubes are employed for the outer layer of fuser rollers used in office equipment. While maintaining the fluororesin’s easy mold release properties and high heat resistance, the tube’s thinner configuration helps enhance thermal efficiency for environmental preservation.
Transfer Belts
Used for color image forming developer units in office equipment, Gunze’s transfer belts are seamless, produced by dispersing conductive material or filler in engineering plastics. This controls the dielectric constant and thermal conductivity of the products. The technology enables high-quality printing for a range of office equipment.

LED/Fluorescent Lighting Tube Cover
Designed to prevent shattering of an LED/fluorescent light bulb during an earthquake or accident, Gunze’ shrink tube cover for LED/fluorescent lighting is used in food factories and public areas. It is insect-proof and highly resistant to color fading, and it also allows the addition of a UV blocking property, thus proving ideal for semiconductor factories as well. Gunze’s light diffusion tube is the only product of its kind available in the world.
Fluororesin Mesh for Pure Water Precision Filters
The fiber processing and spinning technologies we have cultivated over many years as a textile manufacturer are employed for the production of fluororesin filaments and fiber products. One example is the fluororesin mesh, which is designed for precision filters employed for ultrapure water filtration, to prevent stains and maintain quality in semiconductor manufacturing.
Fluororesin Tube for Ultrapure Water Piping
Our fluororesin tubes are made by extruding heat-meltable fluororesins. By taking advantage of their high level of purity, as well as their superior heat and chemical resistance, these tubes are used for piping and molding materials employed in the manufacture of semiconductors, LCDs, and solar power generation system components.
Touch Screen for Control Applications
Nylon Film
Sewing Thread for Jeans
Our thread is made by covering high-strength, low-elongation polyester filaments with cotton. This combines polyester’s strength with the smooth texture, moisture absorption, and heat resistance of cotton, creating exceptional sewing threads. Polyester’s robust strength withstands hard post-treatment processes for denim jeans, such as blasting and stonewashing, while cotton allows the development of attractive colors to suit a particular type of fabric. A combination of these advantages makes Gunze thread ideal for sewing denim jeans.
OPP Film
Created for universal design, Gunze’s OPP film is a cold-resistant packaging film that can be easily torn to open. Used in the packaging of confectionary and vegetables, OPP films available include a film designed to prevent growth of microorganisms on the film surface and a film with antifogging properties on both of its sides.
Shrink Film
Gunze’s shrink films are used for plastic beverage bottle labels as well as packaging films for toiletry items and other daily-use products. Designed to shrink when heated, the shrink films are versatile enough to accommodate virtually any application that demands resistance to heat, cold weather, solvents, and oil by taking advantage of the raw material’s advanced properties. The film’s softness prevents injury to the user’s fingers when tearing off along a perforation, while snugly fitting containers for high-quality finish.
Bioabsorbable Materials
By drawing on our technological expertise developed over many years, Gunze also manufactures and markets medical materials.
Developed with a focus on bioabsorbable properties, a wide selection of medical materials are available, such as suture thread, reinforcement felt, bone fixation devices, and artificial dermis. Our medical material business is expanding globally, with especially high demand in overseas markets.
Sports Clubs
With the slogan of “the number one club in its region for happiness and well-being,” Gunze operates 20 sports clubs nationwide equipped with workout machines, fitness exercise classes, and junior schools. Our sports clubs are deeply rooted within local communities and provide a large selection of high-quality services and programs to promote physical and mental health.
