[Business Description]
Our company has been supplying high-precision products that satisfy the needs of the times for over 60 years since its establishment as a mold and press working manufacturer. We have served a wide range of industrial fields. We possess a variety of press working machines to satisfy various needs regarding molds, and have established a mass-production system that can consistently supply high-quality products in a short time. 

[Industry]
Press mold and press part manufacturing and processing 

[Product and Technology Strengths]
Our accumulated production technology and original know-how regarding mold manufacturing has allowed us to establish an integrated production system that covers design, manufacturing, quality control, and R&D. This has helped us supply high-precision molds to a wide range of industrial fields, including electronics components, OA/AV equipment parts, and auto parts. We applied this mold technology to our integrated mass-production system by combining it with our press techniques and production technology. We can reduce the number of press working trials for irregularly shaped workpieces by conducting flow analysis in the mold design phase. This allows us to identify potential problems for press molding early, and enhance the degree of perfection. 

[Representative’s Message]
Our company has been involved in the fundamentals of Monozukuri craftsmanship as a mold and press working manufacturer since its establishment. We have reinforced the company structure so that it can fully execute our integrated mass-production system, managing die design and manufacturing, press working, and assembly. We will take on challenges in various fields such as robotics and IT to enhance our technological capabilities, with the aim of becoming a distinguished company in the industry. We will start our overseas expansion efforts by expanding after-sales service, and then move on to improving the production system and maintenance for better customer satisfaction and higher competitiveness.
