Profile

[Company strength]
We make use of cold forging technology and our custom-developed technologies to manufacture various products from simple screws to high-quality functional parts. Performing advanced cold forging technology requires three elements: production machines, dies, and materials. We are familiar with all three elements, and possess advanced technological strength. This allows us to mass-produce parts with various sizes, from micro parts of less than diameter 1 mm to medium-sized parts of diameter 20 mm. This is done using six-stage parts formers and around 200 units of forging machines. 

[Business description]
Our stamping technology has produced various products under the Yawata brand since our establishment in 1951. These articles have come in various sizes and shapes from extremely small to long. We have delivered them to leading manufacturers in a wide range of fields, including automobiles, electronic devices, and precision devices. We now concentrate on manufacturing auto parts, and deliver functional parts and important safety related parts to major auto parts manufacturers. Each of these products includes the solid technology and wealth of know-how that support the reliable quality assurance we perform.

[Industry]
Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
We introduced an even balance of processing machines and forging machines to respond to a wider range of material diameters and necessary forging stages. This is why we manufacture significantly more kinds of cold forging parts compared to the competition. We also manufacture cold forging dies as well as die production systems and cleaning equipment in-house, which has brought our in-house production rate to over 90%. These efforts help us to maintain micron-level precision, meet customer needs in production, and make practical VE/VA and cost proposals based on customer needs. This has resulted in high evaluations from our customers. 

[Representative's message]
Our company has been dedicated to cold forging and pursuing the latest technology in the field for the last 63 years. Our accumulation of experience enables us to offer better quality, technology, and cost than any other companies. We hope to work closely with our existing customers (major parts manufacturers), and also with other manufacturers through further sales channel development. Our goal is to continue to offer proposals with even more value.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
The sales department and production department respond to technical inquiries as the point of contact. We have an established framework in place for proposing reasonable shapes, optimal manufacturing methods, and VE. This is based on our extensive experience in dealing with various materials, product types, designs, and cold forging types. Our technological capabilities (such as in-house die production) and production capabilities (such as our high in-house production rate) make it possible for us to respond quickly.

[Market share/Ranking]
Our shift lever parts have a large market share among major automobile manufacturers. Our bearing retainer rivets are shipped to major bearing manufacturers around the world. 

[Awards and media coverage]
[Awards]
We have received quality excellence awards and merit awards for VE/VA proposals from major auto parts manufacturers.
