Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our plants have many high-precision metal cutting machines, including optical profile grinding machines , face-grinding machines,  die sinking and wire cutting electric discharge machines, and CAD/CAM systems (2 and 3 dimensional).  Based on our super precision processing and other unique technologies that improves productivities,  we offer various customized solutions fine-tuned to customer needs.  We continuously encourage our employees to acquire national qualifications through offering our facility as an official testing site, for the purpose of developing ourselves as a company together.  We hold a family day every summer for family members of our employees, to help them understand the  attraction of manufacturing technologies. We have a corporate culture where the people address technical challenges without hesitation.

[Business description]
We have advanced capabilities in manufacturing super precision metal molds (press machines and molds) or mold parts for manufacture of electronic parts such as switches and connectors, medical devices such as catheters, and optical instruments such as lenses.  We provide a wide range of molding services including design,  processing, and assembly, as well as a variety of services including mold parts processing based on given drawings, processing for a single process,  original laser processing, and fluorine surface treatment.  We respond to diversified customer needs.  We have manufacturing facilities including our Headquarters Plant (Osaka city),  Tottori Plant (Touhaku-gun , Tottori prefecture), and Okayama Plant (Tsuyama city,  Okayama prefecture).   We conduct business with both domestic and oversea partners.

[Industry]
Manufacturer of machinery and appliances for production

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have advanced super precision processing technologies (cutting,  grinding,  electro discharge and polishing) to high hardness materials such as hard metal,  PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond,) and tool steel.  We have also been developing and providing unique technologies and products, such as: an original laser processing technology that is the solution to slug pulling issues in stamping operations (awarded the Excellent Prize in the 4th Monozukuri Japan Award in 2012),  PCD dicing blades for grinding ultrafine grooves (patent pending),  water/oil-repellent and nonviscous fluorine coating (patent pending, awarded Monozukuri Craftsmanship New Selection in Kansai, METI-Kansai), and cold sprue bushing (patented).

[Representative's message]
We have unique technologies that help improve customers' productivity.  We are engaged mainly in manufacturing super precision molds and their components, including PCD mold components , laser processing for slug pulling prevention, and SN Fluorine coating.  We meet particular needs of each customer, and promote these products in the market. As for the cold sprue bushing that is strongly wanted in molding facilities  overseas, we are trying to establish a sales channel by increasing direct overseas transactions.  We are also promoting our business projects concerning manufacturing and sale of PCD dicing blades with our PCD processing technologies fully leveraged.  These blades are effective for dicing super-hard materials such as SiC and sapphire.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We obtained certifications under ISO 9001(2008 edition) and ISO 14001(2004 edition), and have established a quality and environment management system that can be effective for business deals with major domestic and overseas companies.  We are not planning to set up our facility overseas so far, but are keen on overseas transactions in collaboration with domestic trading companies with know-how on overseas trading.  We try to collect and present objective data about the performance and effectiveness of our products through third party validations by public facilities and universities, which will help customers make a decision to adopt our products.

[Market share/Ranking]
PCD dicing blades; the top share in the world market.  Laser processing for slug pulling prevention; the top share in the world market
