Greeting from the President

Presidents Message

"Our products should bring joy and happiness in equal measure to the manufacturer, seller and customer. If the product makes the manufacturer and seller happy, but not the customer, then our business has strayed from its honourable path."
In my 13 years of training prior to founding the Company in 1968, I never forgot this motto.
Under this motto, we have been concentrating on the pursuit of making the most comfortable socks for all our customers.
To achieve this goal, we have been determined to cultivate an expert technical group and have been constantly searching for ways to provide our customers with the finest quality socks.
We also retain a strong conscience for the sock industry and are determined to apply all our creative strength and explore every possible avenue of sock-related research.
We are tackling the development of materials, dyeing, mechanization and modernisation as a pioneer of the sock industry.
Recently, our competitors have tended to focus on "price rather than quality" at the expense of the pride of craftsmanship. Our industry is losing its way and following a course of decline.
Tabio intends to be a company which remains devoted to the elegance of craftsmanship. Making products that touch through the five senses, our staff will continue to remain focused on our customers’ precious feet and to provide them with outstanding products made in the best conditions.

Thank you.
