Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We are a manufacturer with a 90-year history. We have accumulated every kind of know-how regarding pressing. This includes technology to minimize burrs (machined edges), which are unavoidable in pressing. We also possess technology to process complicated shapes using a progressive transfer press equipped with a built-in cam mechanism, and technology to conduct tap processing in the pressing step. These are worthy of special mention. We also have processing method know-how for press line automation utilizing articulated robots, and the in-house creation of dedicated machines. We have an in-house maintenance unit, so providing customers with stable quality is another of our strengths.

[Business description]
Our company has strength in metal pressing, and specifically (1) precision processing using a progressive transfer press, (2) square tube and irregular shape drawing processing, and (3) VA/VE proposals. We have established a corporate organization that can support all metal processing needs in association with our pressing unit. This includes a die manufacturing unit, spot welding unit, screw manufacturing unit, and mechanical processing unit (turning, machining, etc.). Our screw manufacturing unit and spot welding unit enable us to deliver near-finished products to customers. Our die manufacturing unit also receives orders for other companies’ jigs and equipment.

[Industry]
Precision metal pressing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We possess 13 sets of state-of-the-art servo presses. We can quickly manufacture high-precision products in large quantities. We have particular strength in the accuracy of our bending, the beauty of our shear plane, and our concentricity accuracy. We receive high evaluations for our square tube and irregular shape drawing technology, which we have been accumulating for years based on our manufacturing of housings for electric power meters. We can propose advantageous construction method conversion, based on the know-how we have accumulated so far. One example is that we achieved a 90% shear plane by using press punching onto a product. This was done instead of conventional machining, which had been utilized to obtain a clear shear plane on a thick panel. There are many cases of achievements like this.

[Representative's message]
We are a well-established manufacturer, which has celebrated its 90th anniversary. However, we always make innovation our goal without sticking to our history. Our corporate philosophy is to contribute to society through Monozukuri craftsmanship. We hope to make use of the metal processing technology we have accumulated for many years, such as pressing, for the further progress of society. We hope to aggressively take on the challenge of new fields such, as medical treatment and nursing, in which domestic demand in Japan will increase in the future. We look forward to encountering customers through J-Good Tech who require our technology in Japan and abroad.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We are expanding our sales activities in areas from the Chugoku region to Tokyo. We hold monthly meetings of new sales staff members to discussing themes investigated by each group. This is intended to develop new business in addition to our existing fields of business. We took on a staff member last year as a point of contact for overseas customers in our overseas expansion efforts. We also posted an English outline on our website. We have established a system with which we can support inquiries from overseas customers.

[Market share/Ranking]
We receive 90% of the orders for pressing products from the Mitsubishi Electric Fukuyama Plant.
