Tomoku’s Asset: Human Resource Development
Tomoku is a top manufacturer specialized in corrugated container processing. Its strong point lies in its thorough pursuit of quality. Customers’ demands in hygiene and safety are becoming more stringent every year. Tomoku has kept up a high customer satisfaction rating without any compromises in quality or delivery time.
Therefore, we have made a significant investment in production machinery and equipment, but in fact, we have contributed more effort to human resource development. Tomoku’s belief is that human resource development leads to improvement of products and company growth.
- Observation-cum-study in the West Coast of the United States
-
We are conducting an observation-cum-study in the West Coast of the United States for the selected 6 employees (2 employees each from production, sales and administrative divisions). They tour American markets, see customers, acquire a cosmopolitan way of thinking, and gain insights by visiting Southland Box Company, which is Tomoku’s affiliated company as well as the first and the only Japanese-affiliated corrugated container manufacturer in the United States mainland, as a base for their study.
- Training Facilities & Programs
-
Tomoku provides a unique environment for developing human resources through three specialized facilities: Rensho-kan, Hansho-kan, and Bakusho-kan.
*Rensho-kan focuses on teaching technical skills for disassembling and assembling machinery.
*Hansho-kan shapes the mental toughness and flexibility essential for top-performing sales teams.
*Bakusho-kan encourages the creativity and innovative thinking needed to break free from conventional ideas.
By training in these facilities, employees strengthen their on-site expertise and develop into high-performing individuals on the front lines.
We place a high priority on the environment, society (including human rights), and governance, as well as anti-corruption and legal compliance. Regular training sessions are conducted for all employees, regardless of position or department. These include New-Employee orientation, Kansho-kan(designed to improve the capabilities of the administrative department, and Kasho-kan (designed specifically for female employees). We provide an environment where all employees are constantly aware of corporate ethics and legal compliance in line with global standards. We strive to earn society’s trust and pursue sustainable corporate activities.
- Utilizing Proficient Skills and Experiences
-
We have introduced a system for continuous re-employment after the age of 60, to comply with the revised Law Concerning Stabilization of Employment of Older Persons, in order to utilize skilled employees.
To carry on the tradition of high technologies based on the extensive experience and the Tomoku spirits to the next generation, they perform as lecturers at the unique training facilities of Renshokan and Hanshokan, and/or through OJT to improve on-site capabilities.

They can select their courses of interest and the company pays for all of the courses when they are completed.
