In Japan, hundred years ago, Omikenshi Co. innovated this creative idea using the cloth-making technology to turn trees into healthy noodle.

The digester turns all that chicken slurry into na...

Inspecting Drinking Bottles

Hey guys! I am continuing with my series of stories about inspections. The first time I went to inspect some blankets. Yesterday, I went to my second inspection with our SBE engineer.

This time it was a really convenient trip, as the supplier drove us there and back by his own car. I have to say one thing about the cars people own here. I am overwhelmed that all of...
