Message
"What is the customer's problem?"
We place great importance on pursuing this question.
Our company was founded in 1946 and has contributed to the development of various industries as a manufacturer of ultra-precision machined parts. We are particularly proud to be a world-class manufacturer of precision shafts.
In Japan, we have established an integrated in-house system for grinding, plasticity, cutting, and heat treatment, and are working to develop and strengthen the industry's highest level of technology and equipment in each processing field, while overseas, we have built a stable production system by expanding production at our Chinese factory and improving our management standards. These have been highly evaluated by our customers, and we currently receive work from world-renowned major companies in a variety of industries, including not only the automotive industry, but also information and communications, healthcare, and robotics.
We believe that the reason we have been able to achieve this level of corporate growth is because we have always placed great importance on our sincere commitment to solving our customers' problems and have continued to do our utmost to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
We will continue to maintain this attitude and take on new challenges with passion, always asking ourselves, "How can we be of service to our customers?"
