Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We take pride in our company’s original brilliant brand. We are a small group, but we are an integrated manufacturing and sales organization consisting of two manufacturing companies and a sales and 
maintenance company. We are developing a global business by using 5 factories and 8 sales offices in Japan and 3 overseas affiliate companies as the core of our business. We are an overall manufacturer of metal cutting machines. We manufacture all kinds of cutting machines, including circular saws, band saws, and hacksaws. We can take advantage of our simultaneous handling of machines and tools to provide technical information about cutting as well as service and maintenance.


[Business description]
We manufacture and sell various metal cutting machines, double-end finishing machines, circular saw blade grinding machines, cutting tools, and mist lubricating equipment. In the field of metal cutting machines we manufacture circular saw blade cutting machines, band saw cutting machines, hacksaw cutting machines, pipe cutting machines, and so on. We also design and manufacture automatic conveyance equipment that accompanies metal cutting, and custom-made products such as loading equipment. We deal with many articles in the field of cutting tools. These include high-speed steel metal saws, ultra-hard chip saws, ultra-hard solid saws, band saws, hacksaws, segment saws, knife saws, special tools, and coating tools.

Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Environmentally friendly product design is also required as a market need, in addition to the needs for high efficiency, high precision, long service life, and low cost. We can also contribute to productivity improvement by providing the opportunity to select an optimal product that matches various customer needs from among our wealth of products. We provide cutting machines that support thin saw blades and machines for realizing a yield rate that minimizes material loss, or to support energy saving.

[Representative's message]
We will expand our business by holding private shows and by participating in exhibitions in Japan and abroad. Last year we established an overseas affiliate in Europe, in addition to our bases in North America and Thailand. We can establish a quick delivery system by holding stock at our overseas bases, so we hope to further expand our sales. In the past we often had to make business trips from Japan for service and maintenance. However, we can now supply enhanced service in a timely manner by stationing engineers at our overseas bases. We also hope to expand our business in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America by increasing the quantity of distributor agreements we have in each country.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have established a point of contact in our Fuchu factory to respond to inquiries from major companies. Our main staff member in charge will select appropriate staff members from the nearest sales unit, tool unit, or the engineering unit. They will visit the customer directly if necessary, and find solutions for problems with the unified power of our group. Our overseas sales department mainly provides support in English for inquiries from overseas companies. This is done with close cooperation between Japanese sales staff who are familiar with international distribution and accounting, and the non-Japanese sales staff of our overseas affiliate companies.
