Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
In the non-destructive testing and marking businesses, manufacturers are usually specialized in testing devices, flaw detecting agents, printing and marking equipment, or paints.  However, we develop, design, and manufacture not only devices and equipment but also consumable agents such as those for detecting liquid penetration, magnetic particles, and paints in testing.  We are an all-round manufacturer and therefore able to provide comprehensive experiments and proofs at customers' requests.  We have gained support from a lot of customers for our ability to provide reasonable proposals.

[Business description]
In our non-destructive testing business, we develop, manufacture, and sell equipment and devices for surface inspection-related products.  Our product range includes:  liquid penetration/magnetic particle/excess flow detectors, agents for detecting flaws and leak testing, ultraviolet flaw detector lights, image inspection systems, and cleansing agents etc.  We are handling sales only as for non-destructive testing-related products other than surface inspection items.  In our marking business, we develop, manufacture, and sell paint marking devices, paint stamping systems, and inks.  As for stamping presses and inkjet printers, we handle sales only.

[Industry]
Manufacturer of non-destructive test supplies/equipment, and printing/marking utensils/equipment.

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our ultraviolet flaw detector light E-150 has a wider range of irradiation of ultra high intensity and requires no dark room.  The lamp has a longer life and is acclaimed for its improved workability and cost reduction.  The fluorescent magnetic particle liquid of concentrated type LY-Conc is a product, which is friendly both to living organisms and the environment.  This product, which has simplified blending of magnetic particle liquid, provides improved workability and is highly valued by users.  Our Paint Jet Printer PJ-1B is available in various character sizes and offers clear and highly durable prints.  This resolves many common worries such as overly small and indiscernible text, and low maintainability due to vulnerability against fine particle dust.  Our products are highly valued by many customers for these characteristics.

[Representative's message]
We were founded in 1955, and have engaged in manufacturing and sale of mainly non-destructive testing products and devices as well as marking items and equipment.  In 2010, the company went through MBO.  Since then, we have strengthened management and sales structures and established production bases in our overseas subsidiaries in China, Thailand, and South Korea.  We have been accelerating our overseas expansion, in order to meet needs of our customers, who deal with overseas markets.  We intend to further bolster our overseas subsidiaries and strengthen our distribution agent network.
