Profile

[Company strength]
We are seriously taking on the challenge of enhancing technology and removing pollution in surface treatment, of which plating is a representative example. We developed fully automatic compound plating equipment which we operate in our factory as a countermeasure to reduce waste fluid by 90% of the conventional amount. Our R&D department conducts joint research with various universities and enterprises on developing next-generation surface treatment. We have an extensive track record in R&D. This includes developing a super-critical plating method that prevents the generation of pinholes, which is the biggest fault in electrolysis plating. We developed a new pollution-free aluminum anodic oxidation method that does not use conventional sulfuric acid and oxalic acid. Our development projects also include electro-conductive polymer film that significantly improves conductive efficiency, a vapor-phase washing machine that employs carbon dioxide, and so on.

[Business description]
Our company is a surface treatment manufacturer, and we propose next-generation surface treatment technology to our customers. We also manufacture disaster protection products. We make use of our experience in surface treatment technology to manufacture and sell the trademarked Sho-bo series of carbon dioxide fire extinguishing tools. We will support quality and delivery times that satisfy our customers.

Surface treatment; R&D; disaster protection product manufacturing and sales

[Strength of products/technologies]
We provide highly corrosion-resistant cold black chromium (CBC) and color CB. CBC processing is a black coating film. It is used for various parts because of its excellent close adherence, weather resistance, and prevention of reflection. We have also developed color CB according strong needs from our customers. CBC is characterized by high adhesion. The film will not peel off even if bending, press punching, and machining are applied after processing. It is possible to apply the plating before processing, unlike past practice, which enables changes and shortening of manufacturing steps, as well as cost reduction.

[Representative's message]
We are aggressively developing environmentally friendly surface technology (such as chrome abstraction technology, CBC, and color CB). We are improving our technology jointly with customers while targeting stable production by taking the concept of surface treatment into consideration from the early stages of development and design. CBC and color CB are our original technologies. They can be used for locations and parts where the application of coating had previously been given up as impossible. We encourage you to try it.



[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our experienced engineers are involved in sales in order to fully respond to customer questions in the fields of both plating and disaster prevention. We have arranged a system with which we can respond to customer requests regarding both theoretical and on-site matters. We make proposals to reduce total cost by making skillful use of surface treatment.
