[Strength of products/technologies]
We develop, manufacture, and sell analog and digital force measuring instruments and torque meters, as well as related products including machines that improve reproducibility of force measurement and jigs and calibration tools.  As the industry-leading company, we proactively introduce new technologies based on requests from all over the world on instruments to measure forces (tension, compression, peeling, and friction etc.)  We are also striving to respond to customer needs by improving the operability and reproducibility of measuring with our products and making analysis of measurement data easier with technologies.  
Specifically, we became the first in the industry who equipped force measuring instruments with a USB output function and an organic EL display.  We were also  the first Japanese manufacturer who was certified with ISO17025.  Our ability to handle high-level calibration has also enhanced reliability of our products.

[Representative's message]
We will continue to develop sales channels in the domestic market, which will remain our base for product development and production based on customer needs.  Overseas, we are receiving an increasing number of inquiries, amid Japanese manufacturers moving their production sites overseas  and our intensified promotional activities.  We will make further efforts to expand our product and service lineup to strengthen our abilities to respond to local customer needs on load measuring, and supply products.
