■Masaharu Takayama: Representative Director, Bell Co., Ltd.
Overcoming the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the bankruptcy of a client, Bell is a popular shoe workshop committed to domestic materials and production, having received two Good Design Awards and consecutive Kobe Selection certifications.
To date, through eight funds at Securite, we have received support from 2,900 people and raised a total of over 140 million yen.
■Masaya Nishikida: Representative Director, Wagon Co., Ltd.
Since 1993, we have been manufacturing and selling outdoor wear and operating select shops in Miyazaki Prefecture. In order to preserve Japan's sewing industry, which is in a critical situation, we started operating our own sewing factory in 2023.
We have launched our own brand of manufactured goods, "WAGON," and are currently raising funds through "Securite" to grow it into a comprehensive Japanese outdoor wear brand.
