IntermanーVISION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Japanese-/Chinese/Español

Vision

『Goods and services to the spirit of science!』

I established “Interman” on the 1st of April, 1993. I named it with the hope of creating a connection between people as well as additional values to life. At that time I was still at university, and in the period until the present day, there were times when achieving this vision seemed to be so far away, as I encountered the struggle between dreams and reality. However, over these years, I feel that I finally started to see the answer to my infinite question “what makes your heart move and what makes your hear beat with excitement?” in my own interpretation. There are three stages in my venture; HOP establishment of existing business, STEP new business we have just started to run, and JUMP our continuous challenge to find and accomplish future potentials. “Goods and services to the spirit of science!” is the slogan through which we will realize my vision “Magnify, Nurture and Disperse the excitement of discovery and creation“.

HOP

In this business, our mission is to contribute to the enhancement of productivity and in making the office work environment much more comfortable. This role is the fundamental underlying business activity of Interman in providing these commodities and services to customers, who now total more than 30,000 companies, nationwide.

STEP

Our first product was released in 2005. This was the first water-based air purifier sold in Japan, and through the production of this aroma air purifier, we aim to achieve our mission to contribute “enriched” and “peaceful” life to people. With our belief of “For the comfort of customers in various situations”, we will grow and move on to the next business venture.

JUMP

Our aim is to realize our vision “Magnify, Nurture and Disperse the excitement of discovery and creation” under the slogan of “Goods and services to the spirit of science!”. The seeds have already been sown by conducting cooperative research with university laboratories, for our own products and by obtaining intellectual property rights for new ideas generated by others. We will continue promoting our business through various collaborations with an eye not only on Japan but also overseas.

Motive

Magnify, Nurture and Disperse “the exciting feeling” of discovery and creation!

One day, when I went on picnic to an island with my son, we discovered a nodule (fossilized organic matter) on a rock in the foreshore. As we kept scraping off the rock, we found an agglomeration curved like a spine. We were so thrilled that this could be a neck or spine of a dinosaur, and went on digging around it. When the tide came in, we stopped excavation for the day and took a photo placing a coin, besides the spine-like substance. Two days later, we took the photo to a fossil specialist. To investigate its possibility, we all decided to go back to the site and continue excavating. That whole month, from the first discovery until the excavation, we spent everyday feeling so excited with a thrill and a tingle of anticipation, inspired by imagination and discussion about the photo. This “exciting feeling with a thrill and hope” was amplified, nurtured and dispersed to others and about ten of us went back to excavate the site …….

Energy, of which of 4% is contained within stars & galaxies, 23% within dark matter, and 73% within “nullity”.It is believed that nullity has created elementary particles and space.
Humans, from a halfpennyworth part of that 4%, are still tempted to think of the origin of this universe.

In the future, we will witness the further sophistication of civilization, due to the development of scientific technology.It is inevitable that humans will fly from earth further into outer space.

But no matter how much civilization advances, regardless of whether we are an adult or a child, humans retain the excitement of discovery and creation. The passion to magnify, nurture and disperse this exciting feeling is the starting point of Interman’s VISION.

Style

「We realize ideas to make “you” happy」

“You” refers to customers, company employees, family or any other intelligent life relating to Interman. When I succeed in delivering ingenuity, no matter how small it is, or have noticed such things of others, I find such happiness and a sense of caring for those that have made these changes. Even when I can’t deliver such ingenuity to others, it makes me excited to think how deep it will be when I realize the possibilities of an ingenious solution to change someone’s life. I always remember that there are numerous potential excitements of discovery and also creation in every moment of life. I will continue to strive to achieve things that provide happiness for my customers, employees and family.
