[Company strength]
The role of metal interior and exterior finish work will become more important as buildings are growing taller and more complicated in design. We have been making the most of our many years’ worth of technical ability to meet constantly changing demands. We will contribute to the creation of architectural beauty with our artisan spirit and state-of-the-art technology. Our company implemented a “just-in-time” (JIT) production system in 2004. The basic idea of JIT is “to only produce the required quantities of required items only when they are required.” Everyone at our company is trying to improve the working environment in order to quickly and securely provide customers with their desired goods of better quality at lower costs.
