Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company has excellent technical staff for system design, mechanical design, electrical design, and software design. Our production technology staff are committed to Monozukuri craftsmanship to satisfy customers more than 100% by thorough quality management. We provide our abundant accumulation of experience and many ideas for system design at the concept stage. Our advantage is high agility, including after-sale care.

[Business description]
We are an R&D-type manufacturer. We design, manufacture, sell, and maintain drug discovery related equipment, environmental water quality measuring equipment, and automatic pre-analysis processing equipment. We are now actively participating in the Strategic Core Technology Advancement Program (an industry-university-government collaboration program), a problem-solving medical equipment project, JST's S-Innovation “iPS Cells,” and other projects. This is how we are contributing to creating systems and equipment that are useful for society, while we target marketing and commercialization.

[Industry]
Precision equipment and medical equipment manufacturing and sales

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have gained tremendous customer confidence through our history of manufacturing, selling, and maintaining products for over 25 years. We are authorized to market Class 2 medical equipment. We manufacture OEM consigned products and sell our own products, which are mainly medical equipment and drug discovery related equipment. We have been manufacturing 24-hour operation automatic pre-analysis processing systems as the backbone of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal for the quality management of pig iron.

[Representative's message]
Our company was established in 1981. Our sales also showed steady growth in our 31st year and will be doubled from the previous year. This has been achieved by the design team and the production technology staff working together to meet customer requests. The design team is in charge of mechanical, electric, and software design based on our automatic pre-analysis processing technology. The production technology staff are in charge of product quality management. Industry-university collaboration is very helpful for improving our technical power for developing seeds and needs and also for creating a circle of people and securing human resources. We will keep brushing ourselves up to improve our technical power and quality management to contribute to society through Monozukuri craftsmanship.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have already done business with major companies, but will strengthen our sales force for transactions with more companies. We took on the challenge of overseas expansion several times in the past but failed due to many obstacles. We will take on the challenge again if we have the chance.
