We took a look behind the scenes at how RUGMATAG adhesives arrive

Hello.

A tufting specialty store in Kitahorie, Osaka This is RUGMATAG .

The rug adhesives sold at RUGMATAG are: Each one is carefully repackaged by the users of Wonder Friends, a Type B employment support facility .

The other day, we actually visited the work site and spoke to the people there to find out what their thoughts are as they work.

A box of nitrile gloves, measuring scales, bottle caps, cleaning wipes and other tools used to refill adhesives are lined up on a workbench.

To the adhesive refilling site

RUGMATAG adhesives are sold in small bottles that are easy for customers to use.

Previously, we did everything ourselves, but now Wonder Friends is taking over the refilling work.

On this day, the staff were focused and worked carefully.

A staff member holds a large bag of white material in both hands and refills it into several brown bottles. There are traces of glue on the work aprons, and the accumulation of daily work is evident.
A staff member wearing blue gloves is seen trying to close the cap on a large bottle, next to which is another bottle with a funnel attached, demonstrating a well-organized work environment.
A worker slowly pours white glue from a large container into a measuring bottle. A metal funnel is placed over the bottle's opening, and a scale is placed on the workbench.
A staff member wearing blue gloves is tightly fastening the cap on a brown bottle. Cleaning paper and reagent containers are lined up on the work table.

Measure, pour, cap, label...

Every step is carried out with a calm demeanor and precision.

The atmosphere in the workshop was very calm, and it was clear that they value the time they spend focusing on manufacturing.

It is thanks to this careful work that our adhesives can reach our customers with peace of mind.


We spoke to the staff

We spoke to the staff member in charge of refilling the bottles that day .

"It's nerve-wracking, but it's fun and rewarding. Whenever I finish work for RUGMATAG, I go to a nearby ice cream shop as a treat."

Her gentle smile showed that she enjoyed her work.

When asked what they pay attention to while working,

"After cutting, I sometimes wonder, 'Where did it come out?' So I make sure to simulate the position of the handle carefully so I don't get it wrong. I can now work more calmly than before."

A staff member wearing blue gloves holds a large transparent bag of adhesive. This is one step in the adhesive refilling process.

He told me this, and I was impressed by how much he cares about each and every step of the process.

Furthermore, they shared many positive comments, such as how they started this job because they wanted to take on the challenge of doing something they're not good at, and how there was a moment when they thought, "Maybe I can do this too, as we all talked and tried it together. "

To those who support us behind the scenes
