Technology & Quality
Proprietary Innovation and Rigorous Quality Control
Pride of Craftsmanship
Our craftspeople work with a single goal in mind
They want to see smiles of satisfied customers. They work behind the scenes and never meet those customers in person. Yet they uphold and advance the quality, trust, and technical skill of the OKA brand. We are always thinking about how our products would feel to users. Our approach to manufacturing follows a simple rule: try it first, then find out what works. At OKA, design means far more than how a product looks. Engineering a technique and building it into the product is a very big part of designing. The skills we have developed over many years are an asset to our company and a treasure for the region. This uncompromising spirit among our craftspeople is the legacy carried down for generations in this region and the foundation of the quality of our products that customers around the world choose.
Three Core Technologies Behind Our Products
01. SPECIAL-STRUCTURE ACRYLIC FIBER, developed in-house by OKA
Our flagship products, including KANDORYOKO®, use this fiber. Every strand of yarn contains countless microscopic pores, which draw moisture in and disperse it almost instantly. The result is outstanding water absorption and quick drying. The surface stays dry to the touch even when family members use the mat one after another. This solves the biggest complaint consumers have about mats in wet areas: a cold, wet surface underfoot.
02. NON-SLIP FINISH, five times more durable than our conventional products
The life of a mat is determined by how quickly its non-slip backing deteriorates. Using our own formulation and coating technology, we developed a finish that withstands repeated machine washing. It is five times more durable than our conventional products. It also helps keep the mat from shifting, which reduces the risk of slipping.
03. SILVER-ION (Ag+) antibacterial technology blended into the fiber
Odor and bacteria are persistent problems in wet areas, and we developed this technology to solve them. Many products rely on a surface coating applied after production. Instead, we blend silver ions (Ag+) directly into the fiber in the process. As a result, the antibacterial and deodorizing performance lasts through long-term use and repeated washing. In global markets, where hygiene requirements is strict, our products have a distinctive advantage.
