Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We have been manufacturing electrical contacts from raw materials for approximately 40 years. One thing that's special about this company is that we manufacture everything starting from the metal molds in-house, which enables extremely short turnaround times on product delivery. In general industry, manufacturing sample items typically takes between 1.5 and 2 months, but this company can do the job in as little as 24 hours. Through this expedited system, the manufacturing of machinery for medical uses can also be performed in as little as 1 day. If time is money, it's one of the most important things when developing a new product. Our company's shortened development time period is sure to be a help.

Electrical contact manufacturing industry

[Strength of products/technologies]
The electrical contact materials at this company are made with consideration for the environment, from cadmium-free materials. Because quality is important to us, we use 99.99% pure silver to manufacture our alloys. This use of unadulterated silver helps to improve durability and conductivity in the finished products. In addition, the button-type electrical contacts developed for welding use with our proprietary technologies are developed from wire materials using a unique process. This keeps these materials from going to waste and helps cut cost and lessen the burden of manufacturing on the environment as well.

[Representative's message]
Due to globalization in recent years, manufacturing companies cannot survive without some special technology of their own. At this company, we have accumulated engineering and technical expertise through many years of manufacturing electrical contact materials, as well as techniques for combining different metals and cutting metal molds, which we are now applying toward our advance in the field of medical equipment. The medical equipment industry in Japan is valued at approximately 2.5 trillion yen, but the global market is worth about 10 times that. We are hoping to export high value-added products with our company's proprietary technology from Japan to foreign countries.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
This company is certified in the international standards ISO9001 and ISO 14001 as a matter of course, and has also acquired the ISO1485 certification to ensure the quality of our medical equipment. As a result, this company's products are manufactured with a quality standard suitable for circulation even in a medical context, to ensure that foreign companies can order from us with complete peace of mind. In addition, some of our staff members have spent time abroad, in America for approximately 10 years, and in China for approximately 5 years, so there are no issues with conducting business communication in these languages.
