| Japan Vilene introduced the concept of fusible interlinings
into Japanese garment industries for the first time in the early 1960s.
Nonwoven interlinings are indispensable components of garments. Interlinings
play a
behind-the-scenes role in enhancing the quality of garments by supporting
them from the inside. In this way, interlinings keep the shape, improve
the comfort and maintain the good appearance of apparel. Japan Vilene also produces such apparel components as shoulder pads and fusible tapes, which are as important as interlinings, for quality garments. With its state-of-the-art technology, Japan Vilene is Japan's market leader for bonded waddings. These are widely used for skiwear and for other winter clothes. Vi-Warm, our innovative wadding, offers outstanding warmth retention, softness and multidirectional strech-ability. Through its partnership with in the global Freudenberg Nonwovens Group, Japan Vilene remains constantly informed of the latest trend in the world markets. Freudenberg & Vilene International Ltd., a joint venture in Hong Kong with Freudenberg, is the world's largest interlining sales organization, and it supplies interlinings and extends technical services to apparel manufacturers in Southeast Asia and China. |

| The broad product lineup of industrial materials
covers not only industrial but also new applications.
Our strategy is to develop and offer high-value-added products
that are engineered and tailored to individual performance and quality
requirements. Our nonwovens are found in many high-tech items, such as liquid filters, various kinds of rolls for ironworks, and cores and overlays for fiber-reinforced plastics. Cleaning rolls for photocopiers is another important application for nonwovens. They remove toner from photocopier drums and ensure blemish-free output. |

| The use of nonwovens as automotive interior materials
has rapidly expanded, owing to their lightweight, moldability and soft,
textile-like features. Japan Vilene offers innovative products for headliner
materials, rearshelves
and trunk linings that can enhance the productivity of automotive
manufacturers. Japan Vilene has a dominant market share in Japan for luxury floor mats for passenger vehicles. The Company produces floor mats in Japan, and also has production companies in North America and China. Car manufacturers are in need of products with passenger comfort, environmental advantages, safety and lightweight construction. Japan Vilene's nonwovens will prove invaluable to meet those requirements. |

| There is a growing need to clean the air in the living
and working environments. According to Japan's Buildings Maintenance
Law, the floating dust level in buildings are required to be less than
0.15 milligrams per
cubic meter.
In
addition,
increasing
importance
is now being attached to the removal of harmful substances from the air. Sophisticated filter system are especially important for precision manufacturing industries, where one speck of unwanted dust can have a major impact on quality. To combat this problem, facilities such as semiconductor production plants use clean rooms. For passenger cars, high-performance filtration systems have been developed to clean the air drawn into the cabin. As the leading Japanese nonwovens manufacturer, Japan Vilene supplies nonwovens for filters, air conditioning equipment and systems using materials that meet the market requirements. Besides air conditioning, Japan Vilene produces precision filter media and systems for specialty dust collection and car cabin air filters. Japan Vilene will respond flexibly to new market trends by developing high-performance, highly functional nonwoven filters and innovative systems using those filters. |
