History: 
Conte is a brand that manufactures kitchen tools in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture, a major production area for stainless steel processing. The prefixes con~ and com~ at the beginning of English words carry the meaning of “with ~” or “together” and ‘te’ translates to “hands” in Japanese.  Conte references the many craftsmen who make their products together with their hands and to the “CONTENA,” said to be symbol of the division of labour in Tsubame, in which products are carried. The name “conte” also contains the hope that the tools will “continue to be used for a long time.”
