Due to the influence of COVID-19 (new coronavirus) infection, we wondered if there was anything we could do with KIMOTO for our customers, who have always been indebted to us, so in mid-February, we contacted Kunshan Jiuji Co., Ltd. ( http://jsbqe.com/ ) and Shanghai Chengjing Photovoltaic Co., Ltd. ( http://shcjgd.moqie.com/ We sent about 500 masks to each company.

In the midst of this difficult situation, Kunshan Hou Zheng Railway Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Chengjing Light Co., Ltd. donated Mr./Ms.'s masks to KIMOTO out of gratitude and concern for the health of their employees, as well as considering the shortage of masks in Japan. (Kunshan Jiahui Electric Power Co., Ltd. received it in late March, and Shanghai Chengjing Light Co., Ltd. received it in early April.)

After much deliberation, we thought it would be best to use the masks where they are needed the most, so on Thursday, April 9, we met with the Deputy Mayor of Inabe City and donated 4,500 masks sent to KIMOTO.
The donated masks will be sent from Inabe City Hall to medical institutions and facilities for the elderly in Inabe City.

We sincerely hope that the spread of infection will be brought under control as soon as possible and that the day will come when we will be able to see customers who have sent us heartfelt masks with a smile.

KIMOTO Co., Ltd.will continue to do everything we can to protect our employees and their families, protect our company, and continue to make products that are useful to society.
