Interview with Yukari Tanaka

Please tell me about your previous work experience.

I joined Archem Business Japan Ltd. in 2023 as a mid-career hire and was assigned to the Vehicle Sales Division 2, Vehicle Sales Department 1. I am currently in charge of sales operations.

Interview with Yukari Tanaka

Please tell me about your current responsibilities.

Our main business is the sales of genuine leather products for vehicle seats. Because these interior materials significantly impact the luxury and comfort of a car, we carefully understand our customers' needs, propose solutions based on past similar cases, suggest new parts, and gather information. We also handle internal coordination throughout the entire process, from order placement to mass production launch, including specification determination. The process of bonding genuine leather seats to cushioning materials requires high technical skill. Leveraging this strength, we consistently supply products that meet diverse design needs and stringent quality standards.

Are there any memorable experiences from your work so far?

I remember being particularly impressed by how we handled a situation with genuine leather products where the uneven surface of the leather made production difficult, increasing the risk of stock shortages. When the occurrence rate rose, the manufacturing department reported it, and as sales staff, we explained the situation to customers and made adjustments to resolve it. The manufacturing department and customers worked together, pooling their knowledge, and we were able to successfully overcome the risk of stock shortages. I felt a great sense of accomplishment when we received words of gratitude from our customers.

What's the atmosphere and interpersonal relationships like at your workplace?

This is an open and communicative workplace where everyone, from veterans to newcomers, can freely share their opinions regardless of their length of service. You can easily ask for advice when you're in trouble, and it's easy to chat about things other than work, creating a warm atmosphere where camaraderie naturally develops.

What do you feel are the essential or important elements required for your current job?

In sales, the ability to accurately understand customer needs and quality standards, as well as the ability to coordinate and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, are essential. I believe that supporting a stable supply through quick decision-making and action leads to trust.

What are the attractive aspects of Archem Business Japan?

Our strength lies in our ability to achieve a high level of both comfort and safety through our advanced foaming and molding technology for polyurethane foam. While maintaining the quality reliability that meets the stringent standards of major automobile manufacturers both domestically and internationally, we continue to take on challenges toward next-generation mobility, such as weight reduction and sustainable material development. As an independent specialist manufacturer, our greatest strength is our ability to flexibly and quickly grasp market changes and needs, and create products that enhance the value of people's mobility.
