Profile

[Company Strengths]
Our company has a thorough production system from design and trial manufacturing to mass production. We manufacture lightweight but very strong parts from various metal pipes by monolithic molding based on tube hydro forming. We combine many kinds of cold plastic working. Our company was established in 1960 and has a history of about 60 years. We have three factories, comprising the Yokohama Factory in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama-shi, the Shizuoka Factory in Kikukawa-shi, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the Nagano Factory in Ina-shi, Nagano Prefecture. About 70% of our sales are in the transportation equipment industry and about 20% in the industrial machinery industry. Industrial robot part production by cold caulking has been showing remarkable growth in recent years. The percentage of industrial robot parts among our sales has been increasing.

[Product and Technology Strengths]
Our company makes use of monolithic molding to reduce the number of parts and make welding and machining unnecessary in manufacturing products consisting of several parts. We make proposals to customers that achieve reductions in both cost and weight. Cold plastic working realizes very strong products free of thermal deterioration or material discoloration. We manufacture products by swaging, expanding, irregular machining, beading, flanging, curling, closing, bending, bottoming, annealing molding, gear molding, eccentric thickness processing, caulking, bulging (hydro forming), and electric forging.

[Representative's Message]
We are conducting various activities to cultivate markets. We hope to find new opportunities for market cultivation through J-GoodTech.
