This is our important mission to continue being a good partner for our customers.

Mitsuo Waida
Since our founding, we have made efforts to satisfy our customers by creating machines that have never existed in the world, based on our corporate philosophy of "always seeking better things and continuing to move forward without stopping."
While inheriting these traditions, we will keep pace with the rapidly changing times and provide customers around the world with better products suited to new business environments and markets.
And, against the background of Hida Takayama's "long history of manufacturing", we will contribute to society by further deepening the goodness of our corporate culture, such as "attitude to value people" and "spirit to pursue technology" that we have cultivated so far. We will continue to innovate so that we can continue to be a company.
