Philosophy

innovation and tradition

Since our founding in 1933, we have been involved in the grinding of difficult-to-cut materials. It is a history of accumulating know-how and a history of continuing to challenge new technologies.
Our philosophy is to keep innovating with our customers' needs.

Problem solving through direct dialogue with customers

We value direct dialogue with our customers. Solving problems together with customers through dialogue leads to new proposals and hints for new product development.
Our important mission is to solve problems and create new value.

After-sales service that builds long-term trust

Long-term global service is essential to support our customers' production.
This is our important mission to continue being a good partner for our customers.

Soundness and Permanence of Management

We are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In order to meet the listing standards, we strive to maintain an appropriate financial structure and governance.
In order to continue supporting our customers, it is an important mission for our company to be healthy and lasting.

  • Chairman

    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.
