We aim to create a world in which all people can live true to themselves\u200b<\/h3>\n

SOU Inc. (Tokyo; Shinsuke Sakimoto, Representative Director and President) adopted a holding company structure on March 1, 2020, marking a new start with a new name and a new corporate philosophy. We view this change as a second founding, entering the next stage as the Valuence Group.\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200b\u201cValuence,\u201d our new company name, is a combination of the words \u201cvalue\u201d and \u201cexperience.\u201d This name represents our view that our entire range of business activities should provide life-changing value for all of our stakeholders, including our customers. In accordance with this view, we strive to create a world in which all people can live true to themselves while maintaining personal integrity, abundant confidence, and bright smiles.\u200b\u200b
\n\u200b
\nThroughout our existence, we have constructed our own original business model and achieved growth through our core reuse business, which primarily handles luxury brand items, antiques, and works of art. As we progress through our second founding period, we will overhaul our business model with an eye on overseas expansion and endeavor to transform from a reuse company into a company that provides life-changing value.\u200b<\/p>\n
