Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company policy is “challenges and innovation.” We have been unremitting in our devotion to manufacturing functional plastic parts that are extremely precise, very compact, and of very high quality since out foundation in 1977. As early as the mid-1980s we constructed facilities to produce composite parts and components. We built a production plant on Cebu Island in the Philippines in 1994 to globalize our production systems. Furthermore, we built a new head office and plant in 1998 to upgrade our production lines. 
Our company developed the world’s first plastic lenses for mobile phones. We have achieved a molding precision of 10 nanometers.

[Business description]
We offer parts for optical disk drives, parts and components for communication devices, automotive parts and components, camera components, vacuum-formed trays, die design and production, and plastic lenses.

[Industry]
Plastic molding industry

[Strength of products/technologies]
We deliver a wide assortment of high-precision, miniature plastic molded parts and components with our reliable technology.
Molding and assembly of small precise parts for communication devices.
Molding of automotive parts and components.
Die design and production for camera structural components (including parts with internal screw shapes).
Molding of various plastic lenses (including contract fabrication and processing).
Die design and production and molding of highly accurate plastic parts for FPD.

[Representative's message]
Our company’s resolution and livelihood has been precision plastic molding from our inception to the present day. We entered the optical lens industry using our precision plastic molding technology as a foundation. We now manufacture many kinds of optical parts and components. At the start of the 2000s we started to actively target partnerships with universities. Our challenge is to fuse the science and technology that universities excel in with our manufacturing technology and create products from brand-new ideas. Our current focus is on developing applications using spatially imaged iris-plane displays developed by a university. We are preparing to come out with a product in the near future that is driven by a very convenient idea. We hope it will be widely used as a groundbreaking communication tool.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We built a production plant on Cebu Island in the Philippines in 1994 to globalize our production systems. We built integrated production lines, spanning die design and production to plastic molding. We built another vacuum-forming integrated production line that starts from resin-sheet production. Our goal is to accelerate the opening of new markets while respectfully meeting our clients’ needs.

[Market share/Ranking]
We were the world’s No. 1 producer of carriages for floppy disk drives.
We now have a share of approximately 12% of the global market for autofocus components used in smartphone cameras.
