Corporate
Profile

[Company Strengths]
We have been improving our technology in many years of collaboration with customers such as companies, research organizations, and universities. We are registered with JCSS as a calibration business operator under the traceability system based on the Measurement Act. This is because of our technology on force measuring devices and uniaxial testing machines. We complies with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. We excel at developing systems for controlling environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and light.

[Business Description]
We manufactures and sells various testing equipment and devices. We particularly excel at designing and manufacturing various devices for concrete and soil strength measurement and construction material durability testing for civil engineering fields. We also provide products customized according to customer requests. We develop nondestructive diagnosis equipment to repair, maintain, and manage concrete structures. We are making use of our existing technology to advance development for the medical equipment field as our new field of R&D.

[Industry]
Manufacturing and sales of various testing equipment and devices

[Product and Technical Strengths]
We provides testing equipment to solve customer issues as a testing equipment partner. We have supplied more than 1,000 units of material testing equipment for compaction, uniaxial, triaxial, and shear testing. We support peace of mind and safety as social infrastructure from behind the scenes by using hydraulic technology and hard and soft control technology.  Our products are highly evaluated by customers for automation, refined design, and operability.

[Representative's Message]
We are promoting global expansion as a company providing inspiration, peace of mind, and safety. The overseas market relating to civil engineering is more than 100 times greater than that in Japan, so we think it is best to go out into the overseas testing equipment market. We will compete with high added value, not by cost, but with our 4C slogan: Curiosity, Challenge, Collaboration, Coaching.

[Company Structure for Market Cultivation and Overseas Expansion]
We are enriching its sales offices and maintenance group to cultivate markets. We focus on after-sales maintenance and collecting feedback information from existing products for improvement and enhancement. We are promoting sales by exhibiting new products at the Japan Concrete Institute and the Japanese Geographical Society. We receive information via the Internet to discover what customers expect for overseas expansion. We are actively increasing our agencies and dealers for export to countries requiring Japanese civil engineering and architectural technologies.

[Market Share and Rank]
We have a share of about 20% of the Japanese market for concrete compaction testing machines.
We have a share of about 80% of the Japanese market for concrete specimen end-surface finishing machines, and 50% abroad.
