Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company is a long established mold manufacturer in the Tohoku district. We have ultra-precision mold technologies and an integrated production system from mold design to prototyping and mass production. We have also been forming plastic products for 30 years and are particularly good at ultra-precision connectors.
We have developed a gas vent pin and other products for quality improvement. These have proven to be highly effective, and we have been selling mold parts as our in-house products for the past four years.
We provide products that have excellent cost performance with the cooperation of our factory in China.


[Business description]
We manufacture and sell products developed in-house: Gas Through, Air Through, Revo Sprue, and Revo Gate.
We offer precision electronic parts (connectors, etc.) forming and ultra-precision mold (for injection molding) manufacturing.


[Industry]
Plastic forming

[Strength of products/technologies]
We have developed a gas vent pin that has been called a revolution in plastic injection molding. It has a technology that greatly improves the efficiency of plastic injection molding. Our Gas Through gas vent pin (developed in-house) evacuates gas emitted by resin to the outside of a mold. This is an ejector pin or core pin with a gas venting (release) function. The gas vent is a pin with a slit (size selectable from 5 to 50 μm) at its top. The high gas evacuation efficiency improves quality and also productivity. The slit processing technology is our company’s unique technology and is not available from any other manufacturer in Japan.

[Representative's message]
Our company was founded in 1983. We have been conducting production activities as a plastic connector forming manufacturer. We have marketed a gas vent pin as our original product to improve in-house products. This was done based on our own ideas and high technical power. Many plastic forming manufacturers have gas problems, so we are thinking of extending our sales channels.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We are now preparing a production system that is sufficient for stably supplying products even when a growing number of orders are received. The sales department attends to major companies and directly visits clients when necessary. We hold a factory tour once a month to introduce product uses and cases of improvement as well as to show the inside of the factory. This tour is now very popular. We remain committed to further exploitation of sales channels and overseas expansion.

[Market share/Ranking]
Gas Through is sold to more than 900 companies (9% of molding manufacturers).
