Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We can make use of our wealth of equipment and accumulated polishing database to conduct various types of polishing. We can create new value by integrating the quality, characteristics, and image that the customer wants. Our maintenance techniques also ensure that the polished items can be used for years to come. We can deliver evidence of this together with safe and reliable products. Our equipment allows us to flexibly respond to any production request, such as high-mix low-volume production and mass production. Our equipment was designed and developed in-house to realize the high-quality polishing we wish to pursue. 

[Business description]
Metal articles speak to people’s hearts. Polishing technology breathes life into metal. Our company looks at the state of the material, grinds it to suit the application, and processes and polishes it to give it the final touches. We are committed to every stage of manufacturing from raw material to final polishing. These materials are used in a wide range of settings “from the cradle to the grave.” They are used in well-designed devices and commodities and also in core parts for cutting-edge electronic manufacturing devices. This is because of our fine control over the surface texture. We manage quality assurance based on our original standards. This includes surface texture, warp, luster, and other elements that are often required for decorative pieces by well-known architects overseas. 

[Industry]
Metalworking manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
The polishing database we have been accumulating since our establishment enables us to respond to customer needs in a speedy manner. Our company can proceed with development assuming that prototype manufacturing could lead to mass production, and make proposals that take account of reproductivity. Well-known structures tend to inspire images that reflect the surrounding cultural elements. We express these subtle images with our compound polishing technology. We closely manage precision components for the latest devices at the level of micrometers or nanometers, which contributes to stabilization and improving device performance. We also possess manufacturing technology for high-durability titanium, which protects buildings from the eternal passage of time. 

[Representative's message]
The former president started this company with the idea that polishing can give new life to stainless steel. Everyone in the company has been improving their skills ever since, and have created compound polishing techniques that are second to none compared to any other companies. We take on consigned manufacturing, and also produce beautifully designed products under our own brand to demonstrate our technologies and propose applications. We strongly want to convey how our company has evolved, and the technologies we have acquired, and hope to deliver satisfactory metal materials and products to famous architects and designers. In our deliveries we hope to concentrate Japan’s technologies from materials to processing technologies. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Each department (sales, development, and manufacturing) functions well within the organization, and the internal teams we have assembled for each project make reliable responses to any issues. We have a local agent in the US and a sales agent (a trading company for imports/exports) in Asia for overseas customers. We often visit the customer when we receive inquiries about specifications and characteristics, and we make proposals providing logical proofs. We have experience in the export business, so we can quickly respond to requests on a wide range of topics, including packing and shipping arrangements.
