Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company has been promoting joint development (mechanical design support) for original products since our foundation, mainly with our small or medium-sized customer companies. This is the stage prior to the supply of die-cast parts to customers. For example, we developed a tripod for surveying, a frozen road caution sign, and a small wind generator. These experiences are very helpful for technical consulting with the development departments of major companies regarding die-cast products and so on.

[Business description]
Our company manufactures aluminum and zinc die-cast parts (parts up to about 200 mm square with 350-ton class molding machines). We have an integrated production system for in-house mold design and production, molding, and machining with machining centers and CNC lathes. We also handle surface treatment, coating, and assembly with the cooperation of our partner factories.

[Industry]
Nonferrous metal product manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We started to design and produce molds using 3D CAD/CAM at an early stage, and we have an extensive track record in production using special insert molds and special structure molds. We mainly engage in machining for surveying instruments and optical equipment using machining centers and indexing tables. We excel at complicated precision machining of die-cast parts. Our molding division is developing a new molding method using semi-solid materials.

[Representative's message]
Our company was founded in 1965, and we have been manufacturing ordinary die-cast parts as a subcontractor since then. Another of our advantages has been our system capable of providing design assistance (now called design-in) mainly to small and medium-sized manufacturers. We receive many inquiries based on this experience. These include consultations about development and value engineering (VE) from major manufacturers. In additional to our continuing efforts, we are now developing a new method of molding using semi-solid materials to help in solving customer issues.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our sales and development group is ready for consultations about new transactions. Our president and the person responsible in the manufacturing division are in charge of various kinds of technical consultations.
