Core offering

Saibo produces and sells textile products including yarn, fabrics, corporate uniforms, and disaster-prevention supplies. In parallel, the company leases real estate — primarily commercial buildings and medical facilities — to provide a stable second revenue stream alongside its manufacturing operations in Japan.

Product overview

Saibo operates two main business segments: a textile/fiber business and a real estate business. The textile business offers a vertically integrated production system from yarn to fabric to finished products, with core product lines including yarn and fabrics (sold domestically with environmental-friendly options), corporate uniforms/workwear, and disaster prevention supplies. The real estate business develops and leases commercial and medical facilities. The company has positioned environmental sustainability as a strategic focus, developing the Eco-Real series of environmental-friendly materials including recycled polyester yarn and bio-based yarn derived from sugarcane waste. The textile products are sold as finished goods while real estate generates rental income from shopping centers and medical facilities.
