Profile

[Company strength]
Our company possesses air stamp hammers (0.5- to 5-ton) and incidental equipment including hydraulic presses (500- and 600-ton), cutters (400- and 70-ton), and induction heating furnaces. We can also handle mass production up to 500 tons or 80,000 pieces a month. We offer hot forging (15 g to 300 kg) of special steels like SS400 and SUS304 in a wide range of sizes from diameter 11 to 130. (We can handle even larger material bars by using a batch type heavy-oil furnace.) Our advantage is that we can satisfy customer needs in detail from trial manufacturing to mass production. This is done by integrated production of closed-die forged products with high precision and quality, from mold design to hot forging, secondary processing, and surface treatment.

Hot forging metal product manufacturing 

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our products manufactured by closed-die hot forging with an air hammer have particularly high precision, fine texture, and clear finishing including marking. Our technical power is highly appreciated for these products. Eye bolts are our core products, and we have the largest market share in Japan. We believe that our integrated production from mold design to hot forging, secondary processing, and surface treatment proves our technology of precision forging with optimal molds.

[Representative's message]
Our company has been contributing to various industries for over half a century by manufacturing forged products while constantly putting customers and quality first. Red-hot materials can be changed to any shape, as implied by the proverb "Strike while the iron is hot." We are working with the global market in mind, not just the domestic Japanese market, by considering market needs in this era and environment that change from moment to moment.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have six staff members in our sales headquarters for sales channel development. They are deepening transactions with our existing customers and also acquiring new customers. We have two staff members in our sales headquarters who also handle overseas customers. We established a Korean office in 2014 (by agency contract with a local trading firm) to meet demand in Korea. We will also use the trading firms of Japanese customers or conclude agency contracts with local trading firms, as we did in Korea, to meet overseas demand in other countries.

[Market share/Ranking]
Our core products are eye bolts, which have the largest market share in Japan.
