Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company was established in 1980, and we have grown as a dedicated developer that provides integrated design and development services for both hardware and software. Our extensive experience means that we possess extensive know-how and technology that enable us to suggest optimal solutions for individual customers. 

[Business description]
Our company develops hardware and software on a consignment basis from the prototype phase. Our services cover products such as FA equipment, control devices, communications devices, measuring instruments, image processing devices, and experimental equipment for research institutions. 
(1) System development: Prototype making, and repetitive production. (This work is consigned to other organizations as we do not have production or inspection departments.)
(2) Hardware design and development: Development of electronic circuits, FPGAs, and GAs.
(3) Software design and development: Development of embedded software (firmware), and computer applications. 


[Industry]
System, hardware, and software development

[Strength of products/technologies]
(1) Hardware development: We provide design services mostly for digital electronic circuits. This department excels at designing logical circuits such as FPGAs. 
(2) Firmware development: We develop software for specifically controlling the hardware layer of consumer devices, control devices, and measuring instruments.
(3) Computer application development: We mainly develop software that comes with control devices and measuring instruments (bundled software). This department also develops simulators used in hardware and firmware development as corresponding devices for products under development. 


[Representative's message]
Moss balls, called “Marimo” in Japanese, grow steadily in the harshness of nature. We hope to grow in a similar manner, slowly but steadily, without being affected by surrounding conditions. This is why we named our company after Marimo. We will be delighted if our development services please the customer, grow the business, and help society to develop. Our company has aimed to become a dedicated design and development company since our establishment, with a presence in the industry. We will continue to move forward steadily like the growth of Marimo, through a down-to-earth, practical approach. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We are a consignment developer, so the most important thing is to gain customer recognition of our technological strength. We think explanations in brochures are insufficient, and that demonstrations are necessary, so we are conducting R&D on various new technologies in-house.
