[Company strength]
Our company has continuously engaged in manufacturing in our 90-year history. We have learned various machining processes and have accumulated unrivaled know-how, enabling us to perform ultra-highly accurate precision machining of large ceramic parts. We also have our own know-how of die production based on a wealth of experience, and so we can respond to requests such as for the development of a die from a drawing sheet. Our subsidiary companies in the US provide dies, die maintenance parts, and molded products to support customers who have affiliated firms in the US.

[Business description]
We excel at fabricating fine ceramic parts, especially machining large parts of over 1,000 mm. Our die manufacturing department started with the fabrication of heat-resistant brick dies and tile dies. We can now handle any dies, including aluminum die-casting dies, plastic injection molding dies, pressing dies, rubber molding dies, and epoxy resin molding dies, which are fabricated in our integrated process from design to finishing. Our subsidiary companies in the US produce not only dies but also molded parts which are supplied to customers mainly in the automobile and medical industries.

[Industry]
Fabrication and sales of fine ceramic parts, and production and sales of various kinds of dies

[Strength of products/technologies]
We provide highly accurate ceramic machining with an accuracy of straightness of 3 µm in a span length of 3,000 mm, and also provide inspection tools such as straight edges and square masters. Moreover, we perform precision machining, for example, piercing a hole with a minimum diameter of 0.2 mm by using a high-precision grinding center. We can machine alumina, zirconia, SiC, MMC, etc.
We also provide dies which are optimized for the production lines in customers’ facilities by experienced design engineers using precision machining skills and the know-how of our parts production to help reduce production costs.


[Representative's message]
We effectively respond to customers by our sales staff stationed at two plants in Japan and have an annual domestic sales target of one billion yen. We will increase the number of overseas staff to four by adding two Japanese in order to better support the affiliated firms of Japanese customers, and will enhance our American staff to develop channels to American companies. Furthermore, we will conduct more technology exchanges with our subsidiaries in the US to increase our technical skills, improve product quality, and earn greater trust from our customers.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our Corporate Control Department or Technology Development Office in charge of new business responds to inquiries from major companies. The Production Department provides advice on detailed technical issues relating to fine ceramics, the Technology Department relating to dies, and the Sales Department relating to overseas expansion. The Japanese and/or American staff of our subsidiary companies handle inquiries from affiliated firms in the US of Japanese customers.

[Market share/Ranking]
We have world-class technical excellence in the machining of large fine ceramic parts. We have a wealth of experience in die production gained over 55 years.
