FUNTEC
Sort By SortA popular element in Japanese products is the way companies combine English words to create their own meanings, and Funtec, short for “fun” and “tech,” is a great example of this tradition! According to the Saitama-based company itself, the goal was to create a workplace that is all about having fun at work, even while each employee takes their work making top-quality hobby tools seriously.
