A large part of your life is spent sitting in a chair, so it makes sense to use the most comfortable of chairs. SEIKO INDUSTRY CORPORATION introduces an ergonomic chair, the Pro Work Chair, that brings you a better sitting life.

Best height for your work

From a low crouch to a standing position, the seat height can be adjusted flexibly. This means you can easily adjust your seat height according to your needs. The optimum work posture is guaranteed anytime, anywhere. Best suited for the working posture
Conventional chairs tend to cause fatigue due to the uncomfortable posture they promote. The Pro Work Chair solves this problem with four special rubber attachments under the seat base which allow the seat to tilt to the front and to the left and right so that it can adjust to your body movements and disperse the weight.

SEIKO INDUSTRY CORPORATION's chairs are widely used in well-known Japanese factories, such as Sony Corporation and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd.

SEIKO INDUSTRY CORPORATION also has patents on their products that cover EU, USA, China, Korea as well as Japan. and is now looking for distributors of its products especially in U.S. and European countries.

Imports of U.S. poultry suspended

Japan along with Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea, have suspended imports of U.S. poultry to prevent the spread of bird flu, an official of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry announced on February 7th.

This temporary measure was taken in response to the report that the virus was detected last week at a farm in Delaware, U.S.A., even though the virus is a different strain to the one sweeping across Asia and thought to be of no danger to people.

The amount of poultry imported from U.S. is 50,000 tons annually, which follows to Thailand, Brazil, and China. Japan, who have already stopped importing from Thailand and China, has temporarily lost 68% of total imports of poultry, which corresponds to 20% of total domestic consumption. This will cause quite an impact to the restaurant industry in Japan.
