OUR BEGINNING
ブランドのはじまり
One day in 2020,a conversation about the future changed the atmosphere at Takesugi Manufacturing.
With drinks in hand, the engineers gathered and talked at ease. There was a sense of warmth and human connection.
Their desire to create something worthy of these peaceful moments using their own technology marked the beginning of THE22's titanium lifestyle products.
Beautiful. Made to last. And something that gives people a reason to gather.
Our journey began during Japan’s Taisho era (1912–1926), with the manufacture of sewing machines that enriched the daily lives of women.
Over the years, we refined our metalworking expertise while supporting Japan's infrastructure, always valuing warm communication and the connections we built with people along the way.Then titanium brought us new encounters.THE22 was born from shared values coming together.Our hope is that people's lives remain warm and beautiful into the 22nd century.

MANUFACTURING IN YOKOHAMA
From Yokohama to the World
A Legacy of Craftsmanship Spanning More Than a Century
Takesugi Manufacturing was founded as Muto Sewing Machine in Tokyo's Kamata district during the Taisho era. After World War II, the company established its base in Yokohama and evolved from sewing machine manufacturing into precision metalworking. Today, it is a manufacturer with an integrated production system covering precision casting, machining, and surface finishing.
For more than 100 years, Takesugi Manufacturing has continued to support Japanese manufacturing.
Innovation Begins with Conversation
At Takesugi Manufacturing, one principle has always guided us: asking, "How can we make it possible?"
We listen closely to each customer's challenges, identify the most suitable manufacturing approach, and work alongside them to find the right solution. By valuing every connection, we have built relationships of trust that have led to new opportunities and encounters.
For Takesugi Manufacturing, every project begins with conversation. New ideas emerge through dialogue, and meaningful innovation grows from genuine human connection.
Bringing Technology into Everyday Life
Over the years, our technologies have been used in many fields that support society, including infrastructure, industrial machinery, medicine, and architecture.
Looking ahead, we believe technology should not only serve industry but also create products that enrich people's everyday lives.That vision took shape as THE22, our titanium lifestyle brand.
