Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our hardware and software departments both complete their work in-house, and an entire development project can be completed within our company. This one-stop solution relieves the customer from having to communicate with all the vendors responsible for individual manufacturing processes. Collaboration between departments is smooth and integrated even in mass production, so we can give all the feedback at once if trouble occurs. 

[Business description]
The main business of our hardware department is to design, manufacture, and evaluate electronic circuit boards. The designers in this department create circuit designs and pattern designs mostly for control boards used in consumer products. Our software department develops sub-control programs for amusement equipment. It offers one-stop solutions for sub-control program development on a consignment basis, from drafting specifications documents to developing various controls for images, audio, lamps, and random selection. 



[Industry]
Amusement equipment development and manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We conduct a portion of hardware development in-house from design to board making, part mounting, and operation verification. This makes it possible to accommodate small-lot production. Evaluation is conducted using electrostatic testers and thermostat chambers to realize the required performance valuation including the test environment. We have the know-how on the software side to maintain software quality for amusement equipment that is impossible to upgrade. We also have the proposal capability to add maximum functionality within the required time frame. Above all we are dedicated to work with the customer to tune the product with the aim of greater fun and operability, which cannot be quantified. 

[Representative's message]
Our company has partnered with Sankyo for 29 years since our establishment. I believe that the technologies we have gained from amusement equipment development are second to none. We will need to develop electronic devices in different fields to further improve this technological strength. We will develop new products in other fields, while developing high-quality advanced products in our current field. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have assigned different personnel for new consignment development projects separately from those for developing amusement equipment, although we have not yet established a new department.

[Market share/Ranking]
Our main customer is Sankyo Co., Ltd. They are ranked third in the industry, and our company is entrusted with 50 to 70% of their hardware development for both control boards and light boards. (One competing company accounts for the other half.) Our share of their software development can be derived as follows:
Number of released models per year ÷ Number of models we develop = 30%
