Manila, Philippines — This year, award-winning Japanese luxury flooring manufacturer Tajima unveiled its first flagship store in the Philippines.
Tajima’s Journey began 99 years ago, with the manufacture and sale of asphalt roofing.
Founded in Mikawa Island, Tokyo, in 1919 by Takenaga Tajima the company has produced pioneering technology, materials, and designs for nearly a century. Since its inception, Tajima’s portfolio has grown from creating materials for the Japanese market to developing top-notch products designed for residences and commercial spaces the world over. The company prides itself on offering a vast selection of highly-durable products to meet its customers’ varying needs, whether it’s anti-slip, and anti-static flooring, or flame-retardant carpet tiles for general use, to more specialized designs such as anti- bacterial and anti-chemical flooring used in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, and foam-backed tiles for sports facilities and gyms. The brand has also gained a reputation for producing luxury vinyl flooring designed to resemble natural materials like wood and stone.
