Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Handles, knobs, and other standard machine parts attached to industrial machines and jigs to secure workpieces for metal grinding used to be custom-made piece by piece. In 1967 we became the first to propose standard products applicable to a great variety of purposes. We have been providing people-friendly products that are safe, functional, and good in design ever since as the leading company for standard parts. We will continue to establish relations of trust with our customers, create new business opportunities, and meet various challenges as a manufacturer specialized in handles.

[Business description]
We mainly manufacture, sell, and export or import standard machine parts, standard jigs, and aluminum structures for industrial machines. Our main line of business is also to develop and sell manufacturing information systems (CAD/CAM) and to provide consulting services. We have standard machine parts and jigs based on our unique concept of standardization and software technologies epitomizing our unique know-how. We have a long history of using these advantages to contribute to labor-saving and quality improvement at Monozukuri craftsmanship sites where high-mix low-volume production is the mainstream.

[Strength of products/technologies]
We listen to our customers and reflect their opinions in our products wherever possible. We plan, develop, and manufacture products ourselves, and also conclude sales tie-ups with excellent manufacturers having the same conception of standardization in Europe and other regions. In this way we contribute to improving on-site productivity and quality in Japan’s Monozukuri craftsmanship. We also give advice to our overseas partners based on the opinions of Japanese customers, who are said to be the most particular about quality in the world.

[Representative's message]
Our company mainly used to standardize, manufacture, and sell machine parts and processing jigs.

In our overseas expansion activities we have been selling mainly processing jigs by establishing an agency network centering on Europe and America. We will also strengthen exports to China, India, and Southeast Asia.
