Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company has two major strengths.
(1) We have a network of more than 100 partner companies, so we can respond to a wide range of needs, including design, plating, grinding, and welding. 
(2) Our precision machining technology and measurement and evaluation technology are further advanced at our Okayama R&D center. We developed a measuring system for estimating residual stress inside thick high-precision boards to realize low cost and quick delivery. This was done as part of an industry-university-government cooperation group. These advanced technologies have proven to be useful in providing solutions to customers, and we improve processing technologies with feedback from manufacturing sites in Osaka. 


[Business description]
Our company focuses on the value of processes, and continues to take on challenges of creating new value in Monozukuri craftsmanship. Our future-oriented Monozukuri craftsmanship operation consists of 4 lines of business that utilize the two core technologies that we have pursued since establishment. These are machining technology and measurement and evaluation technology. Our four lines of business are as follows.
(1) Production of processed goods.
(2) Development and manufacturing of material fatigue testing equipment and evaluation testing equipment.
(3) Evaluation testing services.
(4) Equipment and producer goods (improvement of production environments).


[Industry]
Metal product manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our products have three major strengths.
(1) You can derive the optimal processing conditions with our products. This can be done by making the most of our original process monitoring technologies even with difficult-to-machine materials such as heat-resistant alloy steels. You will then be able to design and manufacture the necessary tools to machine irregularly shaped products with high precision.
(2) We established a small-diameter deep hole drilling technology (diameter 2 × L200, L/D = 100) based on the machining resistance and machining dust discharge status. This technology enabled us to develop internal residual stress measuring technology that realizes low costs and short deliveries. 
(3) Our Giga Quad two-spindle rotating bending fatigue testing machine can test 4 specimens simultaneously, which allows you to create an S-N diagram more efficiently. It can also conduct corrosion testing and fatigue testing in the actual use environment for a metal. 


[Representative's message]
The environment surrounding us has reached a turning point in the industrial world, and also in the social structure, sense of values, or society as a whole. Technologies are becoming even more advanced and specialized, and globalization is affecting companies more than ever. We are in an era of more radical change. This is why we are putting all of our efforts into building an organization that can respond to changes in a more flexible and timely manner. Trust and relationships with customers and relevant parties have supported our company since its establishment, which I believe is the foundation of our business. In order to strengthen this trust, and build positive business partnerships, we must not stop at providing processed parts. We must also strive to become a creative Monozukuri craftsmanship company that differentiates itself from others through its people. This will be done by gathering the wisdom of all of our employees, based on keywords such as materials, processing technologies, and design capability. We will continue to enhance our company’s value, and work hard to meet expectations from our customers. At the same time we will fulfill our mission by maintaining the long-term development of our company, and by contributing to society. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
The establishment of our Okayama R&D center gave us an opportunity to pursue further research on our existing machining technology and measurement and evaluation technology. The Okayama R&D center works with our customers. We share highly technical matters, and fulfill their needs through our high technological capabilities, so that we can create new value together. We intend to further strengthen our network of partner companies to offer more advanced solutions for our customers. For overseas expansion we plan to actively promote sales of our Giga Quad two-spindle rotating bending fatigue testing machine, and convey the importance of material fatigue testing. 

[Market share/Ranking]
We have acquired 100% of the market for two-spindle rotating bending fatigue testing machines.
