Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We initiated our rehabilitation (re-grinding) business for metal cutting tools in 1989. We now design and manufacture tools customized according to the conditions of use, and we develop and manufacture high-grade cutting tools for aircraft components. We are also promoting the development of an advanced SiC single-crystal tool with industry-university collaboration. We are working hard to advance Monozukuri craftsmanship to the next stage.

[Business description]
Our company designs, manufactures, and re-grinds cutting tools. We develop and manufacture tool grinding machines and tool measuring instruments. We conduct R&D on cutting and grinding technologies to propose optimal cutting environments.

[Industry]
Cutting tool manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our company solves problems regarding general-purpose tools on the market by collecting user opinions through our re-grinding business. This is how we provide optimal tools customized according to the user’s equipment and cutting conditions. We develop optimal cutting conditions to raise production efficiency and make cost reduction proposals rather than merely providing products. We are extending our business from the sales of tools to users to the sales of cutting technologies. We are now engaged in OEM production for major manufacturers. We are exhibiting our high-grade, accurate design and technical power cultivated by re-grinding cutting tools.

[Representative's message]
Our company was established in 1988 and we have mainly been engaged in the cutting tool rehabilitation business. In 2004 we moved our head office and factory to Science Park Techno Hill Nagoya at the invitation of Nagoya City. This enabled us to develop many products by joint research with public research institutes concentrated in the area. The demand for tools related to aircraft and energy is increasing and steadily increasing our sales. We will contribute to the aircraft industry where safety, security, and quality are expected, and we will continue to develop technologies for the next generation.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our company is an OEM supplier of cutting tools and other items jointly developed with a major tool manufacturer in Japan. Our target is thorough accuracy management and delivery date management.
