Maruyama Fiber Industry Co. Ltd was founded in Nara, Japan in 1930. It started as a company making traditional mosquito nets woven from cotton and hemp. Over the years the company adapted its traditional weaving technologies to produce a wide range of eco cloths for the home - from kitchen to bathroom to daily exercise spaces. The combination of knowledge and an appetite for innovation has meant cloths and towels that are absorbent, quick-drying, stylish, remains soft and is durable.
The name Nawrap signifies both the origin of Nara and the cloth.
