Aiming for the top share in the HACCP market
The cleaning supplies
our customers require, both now and in the future
Takasago was founded in 1916 (Taisho 5) and has continued manufacturing cleaning products for over a century. Starting with the production of garden brooms and scrubbing brushes, the company honed its unique bristle-planting technology through years of trial and error, achieving bristles that are “less prone to shedding and more effective at removing dirt”.
Currently, we have established a domestic production system as the leading brand in HACCP-compliant cleaning supplies within Japan. Leveraging our strengths in consistent quality and extensive product range, we continue to be the preferred choice across numerous sites, including food processing plants.

HACCP-compliant cleaning supplies for food processing plants
Our range of HACCP-compliant products boasts exceptional performance, resisting both shedding and breakage while offering outstanding durability. A diverse lineup suits any application or location. Our metal-reinforced brushes, featuring specialised bristles incorporating metal fibres, are also highly regarded.
General cleaning supplies
We manufacture household products including the entirely new concept cleaning goods brand ‘CRASOU’, traditional adjustable brooms and tatami brooms, as well as mops, deck brushes, car wash brushes and scrubbing brushes.
What are Takasago’s strengths?
To achieve the quality demanded by our customers and meet diverse needs, we were among the first in Japan to introduce the latest equipment from Europe and America. Furthermore, we actively cultivate specialist engineers skilled in operating the hair-implanting machinery regarded as ‘master craftsmanship’. This balanced production system, combining the essential ‘equipment’ and ‘people’ required for manufacturing, is our strength.
Product development utilising customer feedback
The starting point for product development and improvement is the feedback we receive from our customers. We organise issues such as difficulties encountered in the field and management challenges, and reflect these in the review of designs and specifications.
The best balance of quality and price
Our commitment to quality, ensuring products that “won’t come loose” and “won’t break”, has prevented issues during use. While this approach is highly regarded, we also strive to create products that strike a balance with price.
Multi-variety production. Custom orders also accepted.
We offer a top-tier product range tailored to specific applications and equipment configurations. Leveraging our domestic production capabilities, we can also adjust specifications based on existing products or accommodate bespoke orders.
Zero stockouts & rapid delivery system
Unlike overseas manufacturers whose delivery times are unpredictable due to orders placed in their home countries, or whose stock levels are unstable, we guarantee reliable delivery through our flexible domestic production system and stock management.
Reliable support you can count on, only from a domestic manufacturer
In the unlikely event of any issues arising, we guarantee a swift response. Furthermore, we pledge our full cooperation in identifying the cause. With minimal significant specification changes or discontinuations, you can enjoy long-term peace of mind with our products.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing
Our high durability and design for reuse enable us to build an ecosystem that minimises waste. We engage in manufacturing that avoids wasting resources.
Regarding Overseas Expansion
Takasago is advancing initiatives to expand its domestically cultivated expertise in cleaning supplies into overseas markets. The target regions are Asian areas with a concentration of food-related industries and a high level of interest in HACCP. Currently, the company is establishing local sales channels, primarily in Singapore and Thailand.
In overseas markets, products from European manufacturers are widely used. However, we offer specifications developed specifically for the Japanese market, including not only the quality control unique to Japanese manufacturing but also materials compatible with metal detectors and clear colour coding. Leveraging these strengths, we will steadily expand our presence internationally.

The Origin of the Takasago Brand
Our company name and trademark ‘Takasago’ were designed in the early Taisho era based on the Takasago legend.The name Takasago originates from Zeami’s song “Takasago”, which takes its title from the legend of Takasago no Jōuba. The Takasago tale centres on the theme of the prosperity of the nation and its people, imbued with a spirit of blessing for peace throughout the land. Consequently, it has long been regarded as an auspicious symbol representing longevity and marital harmony.
On the other hand, brooms were widely regarded as indispensable household items in Japan at the time. Consequently, it was concluded that the name and mark ‘Takasago’ were most fitting for brooms, leading to their adoption as the company name and trademark.
Through the manufacture and sale of cleaning products, we contribute to the nation’s prosperity and the compassion, health and longevity of its people. This is the pure sentiment we have imbued in ‘Takasago’.
