TAJIMA's History

Mr. Takenaga Tajima started a chemical research laboratory in 1919. He expanded this company and created a flooring division in 1952 with the well-known 3 star Tajima logo. In 1953 the company was split into 2 divisions, a flooring division and a roofing division. Tajima Europe was founded in 1989 for the sales of floorings in Europe.
