Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our corporate philosophy is to engage in open and fair business. We disclose and share original technology which we have cultivated as a company with expertise in assembling electronic equipment, acoustic equipment, and so on. This is how we obtained our advantage in introducing outside technology (mainly seeds from universities) via open source and then commercializing it. We also put emphasis on information disclosure in OEM manufacturing, and there have been many cases of products going on the market from the results of trial manufacturing. Being an SME gives us strength in providing flexible support for a wide range of needs. These include quick responses, handling prototypes and sample items, small-lot delivery, quick delivery, and high accuracy.

[Business description]
We mainly conduct OEM manufacturing of acoustic equipment, power supplies, Li-Ion battery packs, and control equipment for domestic Japanese manufacturers of electric and electronic equipment. We cover mounting, assembly, trial manufacturing, and inspection, and we also handle standard operation manuals, process drawings, delivery specifications, and shipment inspections. We have acquired ISO 9001 certification, and we observe the RoHS directive and thoroughly maintain our awareness of the environment and our users. We offer quality that complies with the safety standards of various countries, such as DEMKO and TUV. We started to deal with products under our original brand after the Great East Japan Earthquake. This includes manufacturing and sales of motor-driven sound hearing equipment and radiation meters using smartphones, as well as entering the medical equipment market. We are advancing open source development by disclosing our original technology and engaging in industry-university collaboration.

[Industry]
Electronic equipment and acoustic equipment assembly, assys, sensory testing, reliability testing, and substrate mounting

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our company has many technology advantages. These include assembling electronic equipment and acoustic equipment, specialized equipment circumstances onboard substrates, and processing and assembly technology where our professional engineers can provide a wide range of support. We can achieve quality improvement and cost reduction by enhancing the ease of assembly when we get involved at the trial manufacturing stage. We also have original products that make use of our characteristic processing technology. We jointly developed Occlu-Pad medical equipment with Kitasato University by applying polarization technology for tablet devices. This device includes an application of a special delamination technique that we specialize in. The Pocket Geiger radiation meter connected to a smartphone is another original product of our company. To maintain our advantage we do not disclose our original technology for high-frequency circuits, noise countermeasures, and so on. However, we disclose the circuits and applications on our website as an example of development that introduces open source technology.

[Representative's message]
Our company is based on OEM manufacturing. This is why we value activities in line with customer needs from the customer’s point of view, such as sharing production and quality status information with the customer. We also disclose our improvement activities. We provide support for technical consultations by making use of our original technology. We want to express our appreciation for the patronage of domestic Japanese and overseas manufacturers. We receive high evaluations for our original products in terms of setting reasonable prices, such as the direct sale price. We are also advancing development based mainly on industry-university collaboration. We hope to expand our domestic Japanese markets and cultivate overseas business.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Our president directly takes charge of support for new customers. We will provide sincere support for overseas clients, including the collection and management of information. We have also assigned staff members in charge of new clients in our sales department as the point of contact for inquiries from major companies and overseas companies. The staff in our manufacturing technology and manufacturing sections will also provide customer support for technical inquiries. They will directly visit the customer if necessary and find solutions for problems.
