Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company is characterized by our product manufacturing under an integrated production system from development to die design and production. Our delivery data management and high technological strength are highly valued by our customers. Another of our strengths is that we can employ optimal materials and manufacturing methods. Our cold forging technology can create complicated shapes that had previously been considered to be impossible. We can supply the best product for the customer, while paying close attention to the environment and resource conservation. 

[Business description]
Our company mainly develops and manufactures auto parts, such as electromagnetic clutches, spool valves, shock absorbers, and brakes. We make use of cold forging technology. We also produce mechanical components and speaker parts. We can offer an optimal design by selecting the appropriate material for the shape of the parts (e.g., coils, bars, panels). We have subsidiaries (California in the US, and Tijuana in Mexico) and production sites to respond to our customers’ needs, wherever they are located. 

[Industry]
Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our company makes full use of technically difficult cold forging technology to manufacture auto parts that are required to be high-quality, safe, and durable, such as brakes, suspensions, and clutches. We have delivered these parts to many automobile part manufacturers. We have cleared automakers’ severe quality and performance inspections, and implemented high-quality production. Our manufacturing method involves shaping the raw material with a forming machine, and then finishing the product with a vertical press to create complicated shapes. Such a manufacturing process is said to be rare in the cold forging industry. 

[Representative's message]
Our motto is “Creating products that cannot be defeated by anyone,” and we devote ourselves to enhancing cold forging technology. This is done mainly by producing magnetic circuit parts for speakers and auto parts. Cold forging refers to a technology involving cutting wire rods, mostly centering on iron, while maintaining a good yield, and these are then pressed to make a three-dimensional product. We aim to be a company that can provide high-quality, low-cost products in a more timely manner than before.  

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We established our subsidiary Kamiita International in 1994 in order to offer our technology to customers in the US. Only a few manufacturers in North America specialize in cold forging, so we take pride in having become a pioneer. We hope to offer our products to both the US and Mexico with good QCD, by taking advantage of our company’s good location (Tijuana, Mexico).
