Message from the Representative Director

Times have changed since Matsuo Basho, the famous haiku poet, visited Yamagata over three hundred years ago. Yet, still the plentiful hot springs, hearty cuisine, and amiable simplicity of the local people maintain an unwavering charm.
Natural leather brings out a sense of warmth and serenity, and the passage of time adds to its maturity. We believe that, for lovers of leather, growing old with beloved products is a joy and something to look forward to.
Midori Auto Leather Co. Ltd., situated at the foot of Mount Zao in Yamagata Prefecture, strives perpetually to reform technology and contribute to the enrichment of people’s ways of life. Proudly standing by our motto, “Applying Science to Natural Materials”, we have been championing specialized technology in the creation of strikingly original products, along with friendly and attentive sales and support teams. We have also been dedicating our efforts to achieving the best customer satisfaction in our field.
Thanks to the support of our many clients, we have grown as a manufacturer of automotive soft trim materials, and are proud to represent Japan on the business stage.
As we expand our business globally, from the Japanese market to the Asian, North American, South American, and European markets, Midori Auto Leather will continue to uncompromisingly reform technology and ensure customer satisfaction while pursuing our corporate mission.
Here’s to your continued support of our products, and a bright future for all.
