Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We are a trading company, but we also have development and service units. Manufacturing is carried out by our group and overseas affiliate companies. Our development unit develops hardware and software using Renesas microcomputers and our radio modules. Our original OZV radio module series comprises 2.4 GHz and 920 MHz models. We are also developing a 426 MHz model. We received the Excellent SME Prize in the Ishikawa Prefecture Ishikawa Entrepreneur Award in November 2012 for our R&D on the 2.5 GHz band OZV (pronounced "Ozuvi") radio module. We provide total support from trial manufacturing to mass production based on our various points of view and know-how. We can provide needs-oriented manufacturing methods and materials and so on in addition to simply providing materials and parts. This is done by maintaining good communications with our customers from the planning and development stage. We can provide high-quality products at a reasonable price. This is done by making full use of our purchasing power as a parts trading company and the production power of our group companies (in Japan and abroad).

[Business description]
Development and manufacturing of boards for built-in systems: We have been engaged in electrical appliance wholesaling since our foundation in 1921 to contribute to the local community. We have been treating Hitachi products since the dawn of semiconductors. We have also initiated software development and hardware development. We develop and manufacture various built-in system boards. 
Ultra-small radio technology: We started to develop and manufacture ultra-small radio devices about 10 years ago. We now develop, manufacture, and sell our original OZV 920 MHz and OZV 2.4 GHz modules. We have focused on development by making full use of our radio technology. We will support both hardware and software customization according to customer needs.

[Industry]
Wholesaling

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our OZV 920 MHz can be used to cheaply construct a network according to the application by setting four antenna patterns, while maintaining its fundamental performance. Our PCB antenna has performance equivalent to or even surpassing an external antenna, and achieves a communication distance of 1.6 km (depending on the conditions). We conduct in-house development from hardware to software. We can also customize firmware and provide detailed support for customer needs. We have already acquired certification for our radio modules.

[Representative's message]
Our ancestors go back to the Yokoyama family who served the Maeda daimyo of the Kaga Domain. Our founder Susumi Yokoyama was the fourth son of Takaoki Yokoyama, who was the younger brother of the twelfth head of the Yokoyama family. He contributed to local industry through the management of Ogoya Mine, and founded our business in Kanazawa in 1921. Our company has been developing its business ever since. Our basic corporate philosophy is to offer excellent technology and products, and to contribute to the development of local industry and the local community. Our aim is to contribute however we can to the development of Monozukuri craftsmanship in the Hokuriku region, and to expand our sales and raise our original added value. We have strengthened our new technology proposal system by improving our total support systems. This includes strengthening our development power, improving our control system design, and expanding our control board manufacturing, maintenance services, and so on. We have been establishing overseas bases in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand in order to extend our sales and production system around the world. Excellent technical power and development power exist everywhere in the Hokuriku region. We hope to join hands with many companies to realize mutual prosperity in order to develop products with local flavor and to commercialize ideas. This is our company's corporate philosophy.



[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We will make needs-oriented proposals with the united power of our sales, application technology, and development according to customer requests. We have overseas bases in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand. We have received 460 MHz band certification in Singapore.
