This factory plays an active role as the exporting base for Asian and European market. This factory started from producing razors for female and thin leaf type nail clippers for Japan. It has then steadily expanded to produce scissors and kitchen knives, and now grown to a big production base with over 700 employees. This factory in Vietnam is learning Japanese innovative production and management activities and continues KAIZEN, and has become a great factory which inherited KAI's product manufacturing spirit.

This factory is responsible for shape forming, assemblage, packaging and shipping razor blades imported from Japan. Main exporting destinations are Japan and the U.S.A. About 99% of the products manufactured are razors. The Shanghai factory is unique to have only one transceiver within the premise so that all the instructions can be heard by everyone. This factory is expected to grow in the future not only for export purposes but also for gradually expanding domestic sales in China.

This factory took over an American traditional knife manufacturer "Kershaw". Knives are important part of American people's everyday lives, used for opening parcels, camping and fishing. In response to such existing demand, this factory started restructuring the manufacturer by introducing KAI's prominent blade technology. KAI's spirit of "People-friendly blades" is taking root overseas even in the U.S.A.

Built in the Indian state of Rajasthan, this is KAI's newest overseas factory, and it is mainly responsible for the production of razors, kitchen knives and nail clippers. KAI does not consider the India plant to be a mere overseas production base. We are going through a process of trial and error to make it a factory that understands the needs of the local people, makes products that they need, and offers them these items to purchase.
