Established in 1962 by former president Toribe Koji, Toribe Seisakusho initially produced cast iron cloth-cutting scissors. To maintain a stable product supply, they set up an in-house foundry, handling everything from raw cast iron production to the final product. As stainless steel gained popularity, Toribe were industry pioneers in manufacturing stainless steel scissors, focusing on exports to build our current foundation. Now, Toribe exclusively produce scissors from stainless steel and steel, ceasing the production of the more fragile cast iron scissors.
