Founded in Kyoto in 1916. Business expansion in line with needs of our customers.

Founded as a printing company in 1916, ITP was first based in Kyoto, Japan's world-class city of history and culture. At that time, our main business focused on printing wrapping paper for use in major local department stores, but as these stores expanded nationwide, we opened branch offices in major cities throughout Japan, including Tokyo and Nagoya. From printing to promotion, we have expanded our business to become a partner company dedicated to fulfilling the various needs of our customers.

After the end of WW2, our company was one of the first to start dealing with a major automaker which would later develop into a global company. We then expanded our business domain from printing to the editing and translation of owner's manuals and other documents for passenger vehicles.

In line with the overseas strategies of major automakers, we made our first foray into the U.S. market in 1989, and in recent years, we have established a presence in the fast-growing Asian market. Currently, we have built a sales network of 11 domestic and 12 overseas branch offices.

With our sight always set towards the future of information services, we will continue to provide innovative solutions in line with the growth of our customers.
