Parts processing

[Strength of products/technologies]
The life and functions of tools and parts are extended by using cemented carbide, diamond, and other very hard materials for high-precision parts and tools. This is done to help customers improve production efficiency and quality, reduce running costs, and raise product power. We aim to reduce environmental burdens and improve production efficiency, so we are also promoting products such as diamond wire saws, micro reactor systems, and nozzle washers.

[Representative's message]
Our company has been meeting daring challenges to continue creating new Monozukuri craftsmanship required by the times ever since its foundation in 1954. As a result, we have acquired ultra-high-precision processing technologies for very hard materials that evolved from cemented carbide to diamond. Our motto is “Deep cultivation of diamond applied technologies.” We are continuing our innovative creation and aggressive challenges in new business fields, based on continuous R&D with full industry-academia-government collaboration. We are endeavoring to raise our presence in the world with our unique technical power as the market further globalizes.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have sales staff capable of attending to customers in English, Chinese, and Korean for inquiries from overseas companies. We established a local corporation in Shanghai, China in April 2013. Japanese and Chinese staff are stationed there to attend to customers at any time. We are also actively conducting transactions with major companies. We place and receive orders online and have established a fully satisfactory system for environmental friendliness and quality. Technical staff are available for consulting to solve technical issues.
