These values clarify the connection between the company’s goals and the values and actions of each Group employee, guiding our corporate activities. Moving forward, we will continue to create new value for a sustainable society by aligning Purpose, our Motto, PILLAR CORE VALUES, and Group Code of Conduct.
ORIGIN OF COMPANY NAME
PILLAR
Our first product, the patented "Pillar Packing No.1", was developed in 1924.
The company's name "Pillar" was derived from the fact that this original packing
was pillar-shaped. Likewise, we are determined to remain a pillar of the industry.
Company mottos have served as guidelines for the conduct of all employees since its founding in 1924.
Quality First / Cooperation and Harmony / Steady Research
"Quality first", "Through cooperation and harmony", and "Continuation of research" - these are the company mottos that have been handed down to us from our founder. These spirits are still alive in corporate business activities and serve as guidelines governing the daily practices of all emplyees of Nippon Pillar Packing, a vibrant company advancing into the future.
