Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our advantage is that we perform proactive R&D in various business fields to develop new products that are advantageous for customers in addition to selling products. We also possess the intellectual property related to these products. Our newly developed IH opening/closing heating coil enables heating with a current as large as 800A and can be opened or closed with a single touch. This unique coil is already patented. We also developed a hybrid tab that is capable of greatly reducing weld defects. This tab is becoming popular for public facilities that need to satisfy high welding quality requirements. We also possess the intellectual property related to this product. It has received a great response.

[Business description]
(1) Our company sells auxiliary materials for casting, green sand additives, organic resins for casting dies, melting auxiliary materials, various mold release agents, and so on.
(2) We manufacture cores for casting, featuring manufacturing by the beta set process using alkaline phenol resin.
(3) We manufacture auxiliary materials for welding, including the Tablite proprietary ceramic end tab for welding architectural steel frames.
(4) Our company also designs and manufactures high-frequency induction heating (IH) equipment, such as heating coils, matching transformers, flexible high-frequency cables, and high-frequency power supplies.



[Industry]
Auxiliary casting material sales; casting core manufacturing and sales; auxiliary welding material manufacturing and sales

[Strength of products/technologies]
(1) We immediately ascertain customer needs and sell auxiliary materials for casting. We make proposals and develop products ourselves.
(2) We manufacture and sell cores for casting to casting factories in Japan. There are few core manufacturers in Japan who specialize in the beta set process. We provide our products to iron and nonferrous metal casting factories. They are effective against gas porosities, and particularly effective for reducing defects in turbine housings and water jackets.
(3) We manufacture and sell the Tablite proprietary ceramic end tab for steel frame manufacturing factories and construction machinery manufacturers in Japan.
(4) We manufacture IH equipment for iron and nonferrous metals. Our newly developed one-touch heating coil is a particularly novel product.


[Representative's message]
Our company has celebrated its 42nd anniversary. We started our corporate history with the sale of auxiliary materials for casting and acquired two more core businesses. One is manufacturing cores for casting, and the other is manufacturing auxiliary materials for welding. Our sales of auxiliary materials for casting is a wholesaling (trading firm) business, but we go beyond mere sales. We mainly sell new products that we developed for casting. Our auxiliary materials for welding also include optimal refractories for welding that we developed based on our casting refractory know-how. This is another core business in the making. We have developed a wide variety of new equipment during the process of developing a method for bonding rebars by means of high-frequency heating. We were also able to develop previously unavailable new bonding materials and are considering their application to other fields. We will further enhance our conventional technical power and extend our business to new fields.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our managing director deals with new customers and handles inquiries from major and overseas companies. The managing director also provides technical consulting and directly visits customers as required to solve issues. Our president takes charge of support for new customers. We also provide sincere support for overseas customers. We will develop excellent new products from a wide-ranging point of view and extend our business opportunities from our conventional customer industries to new industrial fields.
