Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We focus on the development of applications and technologies that do not presently exist, in accordance with our mission statement “Never follow prior art” and, of course, we respond to the current needs of industry and society. We are the only company in the world that guarantees the accuracy of spray nozzle performance including allowance for the spray capacity, spray angle and spray direction. The narrow allowances of our spray nozzles are significant factors for our customers and are highly appreciated.

[Business description]
Our company engages in the production, sales, and export/import of industrial spray nozzles, industrial humidifiers, and the application equipment and systems. Specifically, we handle all types of spray nozzles including single fluid nozzles, double fluid nozzles, air nozzles, etc., through two core businesses: a spray nozzle business for responding to the requirements for production equipment or environmental equipment in various industrial fields, and a solution business for solving problems in various situations by using the features of the mist generated from spray nozzles. The solution business is supported by four divisions: a humidification division, cooling division, environmental division, and agro division.

Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our company classifies and standardizes mist by the diameter of the mist particles so that the mist can be used as an industrial resource and we can develop spray nozzles generating the mist according to the classification. We can clearly grasp the required mist conditions for a customer having a problem and we can also select or propose the spray nozzle or system optimized to the mist conditions. Our spray nozzles have guaranteed accuracies of ±5% for the spray capacity, ±5% for the spray angle, and ±3° from the center of the spray direction, meeting the highest requirements for precise spraying, multiple-nozzle use, etc.

[Representative's message]
Conventional spray nozzles are generally used for washing, painting, cooling, and sprinkling in factory production lines. We greatly expanded the application of spray nozzles after initiating sales activities featuring spray nozzle mist as an industrial resource. We have extended our sales channels to the fields of public facilities, hospitals and nursing facilities, power plants, plant cultivation facilities, etc., where we solve a wide variety of problems by optimizing the mist. We intend to globally promote our domestically developed mist-application technology to contribute not only to the resolution of environment, energy, and water shortage problems, but also to the improvement of quality of life.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
In addition to our Osaka Head Office, we also have branch offices and sales offices at seven locations in Japan to quickly respond to customer requests. We have a factory in Vietnam as an overseas manufacturing base, and we also have sales offices in the USA, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Holland. We established an Overseas Business Division with English-speaking staff at the Head Office. We plan to actively participate in exhibitions abroad to expand our sales channels and overseas business from a worldwide perspective.
