[Company strength]
We are working to establish a system that can support diverse requests from various customers, as well as requests for high-mix low-volume production and quick deliveries. Special-order products and custom-order products currently account for about 70% of our sales amount. We provide complete support for your QCD requirements. We adopt a segregated production system. Products for high-mix low-volume production and quick delivery are manufactured in Japan, while mass products are manufactured overseas. We are establishing a producer system for QCD by providing guidance and utilizing cooperating overseas companies and consignment manufacturing factories, with a focus on our affiliate in Thailand.

[Business description]
We manufacture and sell LED-type information display boards. We have taken pride in our original brand products ever since our foundation.

We have sales bases at our HQ and in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. We established our oversea affiliate NSEC in Bangkok in 2008. We are working to manufacture mass products for Japan, and products for the ASEAN region under the policy of local production for local consumption.

[Industry]
LED information display board manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We mainly deal with electric display boards as our core products (technology). We were the first manufacturer in Japan to devise various progress follow-up boards. These boards are made in combination with IE technology, and enable productivity improvement at production sites in various industries. We manufacture and sell various kinds of “visualizing” equipment. We also succeeded in developing the industry’s first message monitor board that can express a billion colors by using small LED displays. We manufacture many time guidance boards for railway stations and other display boards and systems for public use based on this technology. We are also advancing the development of products that bring together technologies for control, measurement, and biotechnology based on LED display as the core technology. We receive high evaluations and trust for our technology and development power as an LED setup manufacturer that focuses on LED displays.

[Representative's message]
Our corporate philosophy is “Be considerate: to customers, colleagues, family, and yourself.” Our slogan is “Be a group that creates products that are useful for society based on information and control.” We have observed these maxims since our foundation. We are a dedicated manufacturer of LED information displays that specializes in our own in-house brand products. We expanded into Thailand starting about a dozen years ago. Our local affiliate company NSEC supplies production progress follow-up boards, production monitors, and PC management software to Japanese affiliate factories in the ASEAN region. These include new factories of Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki in Thailand. Our products become increasingly effective as tools to support local resident staff in a small office, and to improve the productivity of night duty staff.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We started to develop our overseas cooperating factories in Thailand from 2000. This was based on our belief that the time would come when even SMEs would conduct overseas manufacturing. We worked hard on issues like technology and quality guidance, and we now conduct consignment manufacturing with several cooperating companies in Thailand, such as Civic Media. We founded our affiliate company NSEC in Bangkok in 2008, and established a production system in Thailand. We have also established direct procurement of LED bulbs from manufacturers in China and Taiwan, and a local ASSY system for LED substrates. We maintain high cost competitiveness in Japan by conducting processing from design to production overseas.

[Market share/Ranking]
We have a domestic Japanese share of 30% or more of the market for production progress follow-up boards.
