Profile

[Company Strengths]
Our company has earned a high reputation both in Japan and overseas for manufacturing durable machines by always using the latest technology and carefully selected materials. We also have a range of press and related machines for experiments to help customers develop new products in various industries.

The product life cycle has recently been reduced everywhere in the world. We are working with public testing research institutions and universities in new product development to capture and incorporate the changes of the times. 

[Business Description]
Hydraulic presses are our main product, and in addition our company mostly manufactures and sells industrial presses, large waste treatment and recycling plant equipment, and automatic assembly machines. These products are adopted in many businesses and research institutions in the timber, plywood, plastics, rubber and urethane, and waste treatment fields. We have also been exported to 47 countries to date.
