About FSX

FSX, Inc. is a pioneering Japanese company that has transformed the traditional "Oshibori" (hand towel) industry into a high-tech hygiene and hospitality sector. Founded in 1967, the company has evolved from a local rental service into a global leader in hygiene management, best known for its proprietary VB (Virus Block) technology. This patented anti-viral and anti-bacterial treatment ensures that hand towels—both cloth and disposable—meet the highest safety standards, serving as a critical infrastructure for restaurants, airlines, and medical facilities.

The company operates a vertically integrated model that spans research and development, manufacturing, and a sophisticated logistics network. FSX has significantly expanded its influence by introducing the REION towel warmer, an award-winning piece of hardware that combines aesthetic design with precise temperature control. Beyond physical products, FSX is a champion of digital transformation (DX) within the industry, developing AI-driven applications and smart sensing technologies to optimize the supply chain and delivery of hospitality services.

Looking toward the future, FSX is committed to sustainable growth and the global dissemination of "Omotenashi" (Japanese hospitality) culture. The company has recently expanded its presence into international markets, including the U.S. and Vietnam, while simultaneously pursuing regional revitalization projects in Japan. Through its "FSX Science" and "FSX Technology" divisions, the firm continues to explore the intersections of hygiene, beauty, and digital innovation, ensuring the traditional hand towel remains a relevant and essential tool in the modern world.
