Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company has marketed various machines since its foundation. This has been done under the subject of saving labor and energy for manufacturing sites and production lines. We have acquired a total of 30 patents in Japan and abroad. We outsource manufacturing to reduce fixed costs, and perform final inspections of products for thorough quality management. We organized a system from external human resources experienced in planning, R&D, and overseas business as well as specialist trading forms for new technical development and marketing strategies. This was done to quickly meet market needs.

[Business description]
(1) We supply deburring machines, including milling-type 3D deburring machines, ultrasonic profile deburring machines, scraper deburring finishing machines, and sanding finishing machines.
(2) We offer trimming, ultrasonic, and 3D milling work.
(3) We supply unattended processing machines, including automatic ejection and secondary processing machines, and 3D robot machine tools.
(4) We provide low-pressure compression molding lines, including molding machines, molds, trimming machines, and so on.


[Industry]
Industrial equipment development, design, manufacturing, and sales

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our advantages include ultrasonic trimming machines, ultrasonic profile deburring machines, and 3D profile deburring machines for plastic and carbon fiber products. These machines suppress the equipment and operation costs to a fraction of the cost of conventional laser processing and water jetting machines, and they make precision machining several levels faster. Our machines make production efficiency much higher than manual processing and can be depreciated in less than one year. 

[Representative's message]
Our company has marketed various machines since our foundation in 1981, under the subject of saving labor and energy for manufacturing sites and production lines. We started to develop a deburring machine for plastics to shift our business from entrusted production to the production of original products. We succeeded in developing a deburring machine that is now our mainline product. We will license our patented technologies to the companies that need them without blocking their access to our differentiated products. We will disseminate our products to our trusted partners, and thus grow them into major technologies.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have already established a system from order reception to manufacturing and after-sale service to meet market needs. The percentage of products for overseas markets is now over 30%, so we are considering the construction of a system for local order reception extending to manufacturing and after-sale service. We are now selecting local companies in four areas outside Japan for local manufacturing and sales. 
(1) In-house organization: Head office (technical department, sales department, outsourcing management and general affairs department, and overseas promotion department) and Nagoya office (sales).
(2) External staff: 11 (R&D, overseas promotion planning, overseas sales, and domestic sales).


[Market share/Ranking]
Our products are protected by patents, so they are monopolistic among plastic and carbon-fiber deburring and trimming products using ultrasonic waves.
