Aluna’s Story
Aluna's factory is located in Satsumasendai City, Northwest Kagoshima, the home prefecture of Aluna’s president
In 1989, the company began operations in then Sendai City as part of an initiative to attract factories to Kagoshima Prefecture. For about 35 years since then, Aluna’s framing products have been manufactured in this factory and delivered throughout the country, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south.
Aluna has created a production system that meets the needs of clients, from single pieces to mass production. Our products are manufactured at our own and partner factories in Japan and overseas. We offer a variety of frames to color your life, from aluminum frames for oil paintings, drawings, and posters to custom-made frames for uniforms, baseball bats, records, and more.
Aluna's domestic factory is located in Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Kagoshima Prefecture, where company operations began in 1989, is also the place where the current president spent his childhood. The production of frames is basically a custom size production. Our workers make the product according to the details of the order. We wrap surface materials on extruded aluminum materials called “profiles.” We then cut, assemble, inspect, pack, and ship the frame, all from our factory. We strive to make each product with authenticity, through precise machine operations and detailed handiwork. While previously based on mass production of a small range of products, we are now building a production system that can immediately respond to diverse needs for a wide variety of products and in small lots.
Currently, Aluna delivers approximately 200,000 frames per year. The items displayed range from memorable photos, certificates received for winning championships, oil paintings, signed uniforms, and more. What they all have in common, however, is that many people marvel at the work after they hang it in a frame and feel the joy of displaying it. Although there is more resistance to drilling holes in walls in Japan than in Europe or the United States, we hope to become an interior decoration manufacturer that can add color to the lives of as many people as possible by developing and offering components and products that allow people to easily display frames.
