We also expanded into other areas such as electrical rooms and machinery rooms.  Over the past decades, we have established a strong track record in supplying operator compartments to major heavy equipment manufacturers.  We now supply 126 units per year, securing a leading position in the domestic market.  We are also the leading supplier of steel doors in Shikoku Region.
