[Business description]
We manufacture and sell cutting machines and forming machines as our two main products. Our cutting machines are used as equipment to punch and cut non-metal soft materials, such as film, resin, rubber, fiber, and paper. Our forming machines are for vacuum and pressure forming as well as thermo forming, and are used as equipment for manufacturing food containers and trays by heating and forming resin. We do everything ourselves from design to processing, assembly, delivery, and maintenance to meet customer specifications and requests.
