Profile

[Company strength]
Our company circulates about 8,000 kinds of wire springs and pressed parts every day, and we make just-in-time deliveries. We particularly excel at processing to manufacture wires and plates from spring steel. Our continuous efforts to meet customer needs have increased the number of products we provide, and as a result we have accumulated know-how about various shapes. We will meet customer needs by making use of a network linking about 100 suppliers if our in-house equipment is not sufficient. We possess a rich lineup of measuring machines and are always highly aware of measurement and quality.

[Business description]
We manufacture wire springs, leaf springs, and precision pressed products, as well as composite products with these articles, mainly for automobiles and motorbikes. We deal with a wide range of wire springs, including torsion springs, compression springs, and tension springs, including bender processing. We can also design springs, conduct endurance tests, and deliver trial products in a short term. We possess small to 300-ton press machines for integrated production from press mold design and manufacturing to post-processing by making use of our unique technologies and know-how. Our post-processing services include polishing, heat treatment, cutting, and various types of surface treatment (at suppliers).

[Industry]
Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We can manufacture pressed parts by total shearing based on our special mold technology. This is done using ordinary press machines. We can create products by doing the design and manufacturing in-house, so we can meet requests for short-term deliveries at low cost. Our automotive transmission and engine parts are manufactured by total shearing and minimum-droop pressing with precision molds. They are highly appreciated by our customers. We excel at manufacturing wire products from spring materials, and deliver high-accuracy, high-endurance wire products for automobile body, brake, and engine parts.

[Representative's message]
Customer acquisition is our corporate policy for developing sales channels. Our customer management involves roughly dividing customers into existing and new customers. We are totally devoted to satisfying customer needs (QDC and more), and place our top priority on customers. We are considering overseas expansion and actually working with a joint venture in China for our advance into India. We hope we will be of assistance for our customers’ overseas expansion.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have organized a sales staff consisting of four people. We have dedicated staff members for dealing with new customers. The sales department engages in sales activities mainly through exhibitions and customer introductions according to our corporate policy of acquiring new customers while attending to existing customers. Staff members from the technical and production departments directly visit customers as required to make technical proposals and solve problems. We are now proceeding with overseas expansion by considering a joint venture in India and planning to start production in 2016. We will make use of our accumulated technical power to extend our sales in countries like China with a large existing market and potentially large markets like India.
